Director of Snatch: Pigs and Diamonds decided to take one of his last films as The Gentleman to make a new series. This fiction will be seen on Netflix and has the financial backing of Miramax TV and Moonage Pictures, and with Ritchie himself as director and screenwriter.

“The world of The Gentlemen it’s a piece of me. I am delighted that with Netflix and Miramax we have this opportunity to return to it once again”, communicated the director when this project began to see the light and added: “We hope to bring the fans back to that world, introduce new characters and their stories and I’m excited to do it with this extremely talented cast.” The series began to be recorded in London and will have 8 episodes that will be seen on Netflix without a release date yet.

The film’s original cast included Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockhery, Henry Golding, Colin Farrell and Jeremy Strong in the central roles. So far they have not reported if any of them will be part of this series, although information has already begun to circulate about who could join.

The returns of the productions made that at first The Gentlemen It was intended to be a series (before the 2020 pandemic) and then a movie, but the plans were reversed and we saw the film before the series. The film was very well received by the public, as it managed to raise more than USD$115 million, a large figure considering the initial investment of USD$22 million.
