Vinnie Jones reveals major update on Guy Ritchie’s Netflix smash hit The Gentleman
VINNIE Jones has revealed a huge update ahead of the second series of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix smash hit The Gentleman.
It was confirmed this month that execs at the streaming giant had commissioned the next instalment after months of waiting for fans.
Vinnie, 59, has now revealed that he is set to return to the show and said filming commences early next year.
He told Metro: “I’m doing my documentary, then I’m doing a musical at Christmas, Only Fools And Horses.
“I rang Guy Ritchie and said, ‘What do you think?” He said, ‘Yeah, I think it’s time! We start The Gentlemen in March.”
The series, which was created by Guy Ritchie, gained a cult audience when it dropped on Netflix in March.
It starred Vinnie Jones, Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings as Theo’s character Eddie unexpectedly inherited his father’s country estate.
However, he was left unaware that it was home to an underground cannabis empire.
After being sucked into the vicious world of crime, viewers watched as Theo got a taste for it all towards the end of the series, working with Susie Glass.
Confirming its recommission, Netflix bosses revealed eight new episodes are on the way.
Filming is set to kick off next year, meaning fans will have a long wait to see what’s next for Eddie and his family.
Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings have all signed back up for the show, while Vinnie Jones’ future is in doubt.
Alongside the recommission news, Netflix shared a clip with fans showing a massive billboard depicting a cannabis joint burning.
The sign – which has been erected in London – simply says: “The Gentlemen season two, only on Netflix.”
During series one’s first month on the platform it clocked up a staggering 44 million viewers.
The Sun previously revealed how plans were in place for Guy Ritchie to write another series.
