Netflix confirms The Gentlemen season two as Maya Jama set to join star studded cast
Netflix has confirmed that The Gentlemen is returning for a second season with a number of new famous faces being added to the star studded cast, including Love Island presenter Maya Jama. The Guy Ritchie drama, branded a mashup between Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders, is based on the director's 2019 film of the same name.
The first season became one of the streaming platform's biggest hits when it dropped in 2024 with Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Ray Winstone playing the lead roles. The Gentleman sees James and Scodelario play Eddie Halstead and Susie Glass, who are thrust together after James inherits land that's been co-opted by a weed growing empire ran by Susie's father, Bobby Glass, played by Winstone.
Susie is the de facto head of the business while Bobby is in prison. Netflix has confirmed that James, Scodelario and Daniel Ings will all be returning to their roles for the highly anticipated second season.
They will be returning alongside cast members Winstone, Vinnie Jones, Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear, Pearce Quigley and Giancarlo Esposito.
Meanwhile, Maya Jama is set to be the latest addition to the star studded cast.
The Love Island presenter made her acting debut in Katherine Ryan's Netflix series The Duchess, playing a girl-next door role named Sandra for two episodes.
The Gentlemen is understood to be her second acting role although details about her character in the show are yet to be revealed.
Jama, 30, rose to fame as a DJ on Rinse Fm and a presenter on MTV. She then went on to front award shows and in 2023, she landed the presenting role on ITV'S Love Island.
Also joining the cast for season two will be The Agency star Hugh Bonneville, Dune's Benjamin Clementine, The Leopard's Benedetta Porcaroli, Conclave's Sergio Castellito, Another Simple Favour's Michele Morrone, Tell Me Everything's Tyler Conti and Dune: Part Two's Amra Mallassi.
During the last season, Eddie and Susie's undeniable chemistry was noted by fans, with many enjoying the intense aspect of their relationship.
Other fans recalled a flashback scene in which the pair are seen dancing with their faces extremely close to one another, with many believing Ritchie was subtly hinting at a romantic history between them.
Season two will pick up one year after Eddie and Susan joined forces to team up on Bobby's criminal empire overseas.
As they strive to expand their enterprise, the choices Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound, and Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all.
Guy Ritchie announced the news of the forthcoming season in a statement which read: 'I am delighted to return to set for season two of The Gentlemen. This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes.'
'Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they're besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players.
"The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew.'

Danny Cipriani puts on a very loved-up display with his on-off girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord as they celebrate Emmy nominations after split rumours
Danny Cipriani put on a very loved up display with his on off girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord at an Emmy nomination party on Thursday, following rumours of a split. The former rugby ace, 37, dated the 90210 actress for nine months amid his divorce from ex-wife Victoria Rose O'Callaghan. And while they seemingly split in January, the pair seemed happier than ever as they shared a smooch at the glitzy event, hosted by The McCord List. For the outing, Danny wore a black short-sleeved shirt which he paired with striped trousers and chunky black trainers. Meanwhile AnnaLynne put on a leggy display in a black mini skirt which she paired with a structured black top. She added inches to her statuesque frame as she slipped into a pair of nude stilettos and kept her accessories to a minimum. Earlier in the day, Danny gushed over his girlfriend as he shared a sweet picture to Instagram to wish her a happy birthday. Alongside the snap, he penned: 'Happy birthday to My Love. Your light shines so bright, as you see the light in everyone you meet. 'You give your heart so effortlessly. You are creating a world of unity and love with your star dust everywhere you go ✨❤️ Love you' It was revealed in January that the pair had gone their separate ways. Danny, who stars in the new Netflix show Celebrity Bear Hunt, presented by Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls, spent Christmas and the New Year in the UK instead of travelling to the States to be with AnnaLynne. The ex-Strictly star removed AnnaLynne as an Instagram contact on December 21, which signified trouble in paradise and earlier in the year a source close to the exes revealed to MailOnline their relationship was on the rocks for weeks. It's believed that AnnaLynee was one of several women Danny dated following his painful separation from ex-wife Victoria, 42, who he split from in November 2023 after four years of marriage. Speaking to The Sun last year, Victoria admitted she was 'heartbroken' after discovering messages between Danny and other women. Victoria said: 'I was shocked, heartbroken. They weren't sexts but they were telling women they were beautiful, and about the connections he felt. Not the kind of thing you want to read your husband sending.' Danny's drug taking became a problem in their relationship, according to Victoria, who said she was 'upset' by the amount he was consuming. She added: 'I got so sick of it. It started to upset me. Everyday he said he wouldn't do drugs. Then by midday he'd be back on them.' The mother, who has two children from different relationships, claimed Danny would eat mushroom laced chocolate bars and she wouldn't know if he was on them or not as he 'would function so well.' She said: 'One day he took a large amount and just lay on the floor. I thought I would be able to help him, and he said he wanted to stop taking drugs. Danny was taking loads of prescription drugs and I just said, 'Enough is enough.' Danny has previously admitted to taking cocaine, a crystallised toad psychedelic and to having so many magic mushrooms he became convinced his wife was trying to kill him. The couple met through a mutual friend in 2019 and during the Covid lockdown, Victoria fell pregnant with the pair's baby. They tragically lost their son, who they named River, in June 2020, at 23 weeks. Danny's love life has seen him date the likes of former glamour model Katie Price and TV star Kelly Brook. In 2007, Danny had a fling with Cheeky Girl Monica Irimia, who said they split because he 'doesn't want a steady relationship.' Between 2008 and 2010, the sportsman was with Heart Radio presenter Kelly but their romance ended when Danny gave his phone number to a Las Vegas stripper. Following his split from model Kelly, Danny spent time with US actress Lindsay Lohan after they connected in Los Angeles. Katie Price got her revenge on Danny after he cheated during their romance by exposing the rugby star in her 2013 autobiography Love, Lipstick and Lies. She revealed how she caught Danny in bed with another woman, saying: 'He can no longer hit the right spots on the rugby field and he certainly can't find them on a woman.' Danny dated sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher for six months but the pair reportedly went their separate ways over their 12-year age gap. He met estranged wife Victoria in 2019 and they were engaged by January 2021. The couple married on April 27, 2022 in a private ceremony, with Danny excitedly telling his Instagram followers: ' Married my best friend today!'
