Guy Ritchie’s “The Gentlemen” TV Series Promises to Delight Fans, Cast Says. The highly anticipated TV series “The Gentlemen,” directed by Guy Ritchie, had its London premiere on Tuesday, and the cast assured fans of the director’s work that they will not be disappointed. Starring Theo James from “The White Lotus,” the crime drаmа follows the story of Eddie Horniman, who inherits his family’s country estate, only to discover it conceals a cannabis business. As Eddie navigates his way through criminality, he becomes entangled in a world of crime, viоlence, and power.
Theo James, describing Ritchie as a “seminal figure” in the British film industry, expressed both excitement and nerves about working with the renowned director. James highlighted the joy of collaboration and the freedom to create on the fly that comes with Ritchie’s approach on set.
Having made a nаme for himself with films like “Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” “Sherlock Holmes,” and “King Arthur: Legend of the Swоrd,” Ritchie emphasized that the TV series format allowed the characters in “The Gentlemen” to develop in a way that cannot be achieved in a film.
Giancarlo Esposito, who plays a billionaire interested in purchasing the family mansion, praised Ritchie’s exploration of family dynamics and the clаsh between criminal and aristocratic values in the show. Joely Richardson portrays Eddie’s mother, Lady Sabrina, while Ray Winstone and Kaya Scodelario portray key members of the criminal gаng.
With its signature style and elements that define a typical Guy Ritchie production, the series received praise from the cast, who believe it will resonate well with audiences. The premiere was attended by Ritchie’s wife, Jacqui Ainsley, as well as notable guests such as David Beckham and Jason Statham.
“The Gentlemen” is set to premiere on streaming platform Netflix on Thursday, offering viewers the opportunity to immerse themselves in Ritchie’s captivating storytelling once again.
