The Gentlemen series will arrive on Netflix very soon and takes place in the same world as Guy Ritchie's 2019 film of the same name.
The film followed Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) as he tried to sell off his cannabis empire, and whilst the series will take place in the same world, the Netflix show will follow a whole new set of characters.
Theo James will lead the cast as Eddie Horniman who inherits a large estate from his father but soon learns that the land has become part of Pearson's weed-growing business.
A synopsis in the Radio Times adds: "Moreover, a host of unsavoury characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of the operation.
It's less than two weeks until Guy Ritchie's new show THE GENTLEMEN arrives into the world!

"Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game. However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it."
Ritchie has been involved with the development of the show since 2020, with the 55-year-old directing and co-writing the first episode.
Some big names will be featured throughout the series including Kaya Scodelario, Vinnie Jones, Peter Serafinowicz, Giancarlo Esposito and Ray Winstone.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
