Netflix confirms The Gentlemen season two as Maya Jama set to join star studded cast
Netflix has announced that a second season of Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen will be coming soon wit the Love Island presenter set to make her debut in the show. 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.'

A-List movie star, 48, shocks fans with his chiselled torso as he goes shirtless while grabbing a coffee in LA - can YOU guess who it is?
One of Hollywood's biggest stars stunned onlookers earlier this week, as he showed off his shirtless physique while grabbing a coffee in Los Angeles. Colin Farrell showed of his chiselled torso as he enjoyed the low-key outing, which was posted by a fan on TikTok. The Irish born actor, 48, cut a low-key figure as he headed out solo, before stopping to send a text. Posting a clip of the surprise sighting, a fan captioned the post: 'Living in LA is so wild because why was I craving a coffee and I got...' with the photo of Colin. One fan begged for a similar interaction and said 'may this type of celebrity sighing find me'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The sighting comes after The Gentleman actor shared a heartfelt message about placing his adult disabled son into care. He explaining that he wants to ensure his son's care is properly managed while he and his ex-partner are still alive, and to provide him with a strong sense of community. The actor previously explained how son James, 21, was heartbreakingly misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy before doctors eventually confirmed he was suffering from Angelman syndrome. Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the nervous system, causes severe physical and intellectual disability. Speaking to Candis Magazine, Colin revealed he and his ex Kim Bordenave have made a decision and plan to settle James into a long-term care facility. He said: 'It's tricky, some parents will say: "I want to take care of my child myself." And I respect that. 'But my horror would be... What if I have a heart attack tomorrow, and, God forbid, James' mother, Kim, has a car crash and she's taken too – and then James is on his own? 'Then he's a ward of the state and he goes where? We'd have no say in it.' He and Kim are hoping to 'find somewhere we like where he can go now, while we're still alive and healthy, that we can go and visit, and we can take him out sometimes'. Colin continued: 'We want him to find somewhere where he can have a full and happy life, where he feels connected.' The Phone Booth actor previously discussed his first-born son's condition and said medical advice was sought after James missed developmental milestones and struggled to sit up or crawl as a baby. Colin explained how many sufferers of the rare syndrome are often misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy due to both conditions having similar symptoms. He told People: '[James] couldn't sit up. He wasn't crawling. I think he was a year and a half when we took him to get really checked out, and he was diagnosed as having cerebral palsy.' Cerebral palsy is the name for a set of conditions affecting movement and co-ordination stemming from a problem with the brain that takes place before, during or soon after birth. Difficulty speaking, swallowing or seeing — along with learning difficulties — can also be symptoms. Colin said: 'It was a common misdiagnosis, because it shared a lot of the same characteristics. And that was a downer for sure.' The Oscar nominee revealed that, when James was only about two and a half years old, a pediatric neurologist suggested he be tested for Angelman syndrome. Recalling the moment he received the diagnosis, he shared: 'I remember the first two questions I asked were, "What's the life expectancy and how much pain is involved?" 'And the doctor said, "Life expectancy, as far as we can tell, is the same for you and for me, and pain, no."' A doctor had noticed an unusual symptom that prompted him to test for Angelman syndrome. The actor is now launching the Colin Farrell Foundation to provide support, education, and advocacy for adults with intellectual disabilities. 'This is the first time I've spoken about it, and obviously the only reason I'm speaking is I can't ask James if he wants to do this,' he said. The proud dad stated that his eldest son 'has worked so hard all his life, so hard'. He said: 'Repetition, repetition, balance, his jerky gait. When he started feeding himself for the first time, his face looks like a Jackson Pollock by the end of it. But he gets it in, he feeds himself beautifully. I'm proud of him every day, because I just think he's magic.' Colin also described watching his son take his first steps just before his fourth birthday. Detailing the 'profound' moment to People, Colin said: 'I knew they [James's carers] were working on walking. And I stood over there, and she let him go, and he just came to [me].
