Picking up from Season 1’s ending, The Gentlemen Season 2 follows Eddie (Theo James) and Susie’s quest to expand Bobby’s (Ray Winstone) criminal empire. As working for Bobby becomes increasingly dicey, Susie (Kaya Scodelario) begins to seek some level of independence while Eddie explores ways to break free from her father. The Season’s ending signals a new partnership between Eddie, Susie, and Carlos Vargas (Cosimo Fusco), an international cocaine lord from Peru.
With the new season expanding the empire beyond the English criminal underworld, it sets up several exciting premises for the next chapter. Netflix gave the green light for Season 3 before the second installment premiered on September 3, 2026. The Gentlemen is expected to return for Season 3 in late 2027 with answers to the following unresolved threads.
01. Will Eddie And Susie Become More Than Crime Partners?
This question has lingered since the show debuted, but Season 2 paired Eddie and Susie off with other characters. Susie had her thing going with Joe (Tyler Conti) while Eddie married Bella. For a while, it seemed the show was moving away from its will-they-won’t-they trope. But then, the criminal world claimed the lives of both Joe and Bella, reigniting the romantic tension between Eddie and Susie. The Gentlemen Season 3 should resolve this, at least to some extent. Season 2 tested their commitment to each other, but even when they drifted apart, they kept gravitating back toward each other. It seems they are bound to have a relationship that goes beyond being crime partners.
02. What Does Stanley Johnston Want With Eddie?
The billionaire who tried to acquire Halstead Manor from Eddie in Season 1 returned in Season 2 as a friend. Throughout Season 2, Stanley Johnston (Giancarlo Esposito) takes it upon himself to help the Duke find a greater purpose. Aside from regaling Eddie with monologues about his ancestry, he also lends him £100 million to get through a major crisis. But then he sells the debt to Bobby, tying Eddie right back to the root of his problems.
So what’s his endgame? Is he genuinely interested in seeing Eddie embrace a higher calling, or is he deliberately stoking tension between the Duke and Bobby? Several fan theories suggest he’s biding his time to become the ultimate villain. Whatever he’s aiming for, The Gentlemen Season 3 can’t ignore delving into it.
03. What Happens When Bobby Learns Susie Has Ventured Into Cocaine?
Ever determined to keep her daughter away from venturing into the cocaine cartel, Susie disobeyed her father after he thwarted their effort to decriminalize marijuana. Her lover drags her to the cocaine valley in Peru, and she quickly learns how deadly the cocaine world can be. She sacrifices Joe for a fresh start with Vargas, but her father remains unaware of her new business. With Vargas helping Eddie and Susie trap Dixon for Bella’s death, Season 2 seems to set up the trio for partnership in Season 3. It remains to be seen whether the next chapter will explore this partnership, but fans are eager to see how Bobby reacts when he eventually learns his daughter has ventured into the forbidden.
04. Why Did Bobby Purchase Eddie’s Debt To Johnston?
Following Bella’s (Benedetta Porcaroli) murder after exchanging vows with the Duke, Eddie’s resolve to avenge her leads him to his estranged crime boss, Bobby. Partnering with Bella’s boss Marco Moretti (Sergio Castellitto), he signs off on a mission to assassinate Bobby in prison. However, he steps in to stop the hit himself upon learning that Bobby had purchased his debt to Johnston before Bella’s murder.
While this exonerates Bobby from Eddie’s misfortune, the season ends without revealing Bobby’s intent. The Duke told the crime lord he wouldn’t be his pawn right after stopping the hit. But then, he’s £100 million in debt to Bobby. This means their paths are still very much crossed. How Bobby leverages that is one question The Gentlemen Season 3 must address.
05. What’s Next For Eddie And Freddy?
Eddie’s older brother Freddy (Daniel Ings) didn’t get much screen time in Season 2. He made brief appearances from rehab, where he had embraced the Christian faith under John Dixon (Pearce Quigley), leader of the Scouse crime family. Brainwashed by The Gospel to come after Eddie and retake leadership of the family, Freddy and Dixon orchestrated the plan that killed Bella. And with Bella’s death, Dixon successfully pitted the brothers against each other.
Eddie turned it around in the finale, forcing Freddy to murder The Gospel in a way more gruesome than how he killed his brother Tommy Dixon (Peter Serafinowicz) in Season 1. By making Freddy saw John’s head off, Eddie may have just radicalized him into a deadly weapon he can wield whenever he pleases. It’ll be exciting to see where their relationship goes from here. Will Eddie ever completely forgive Freddy for Bella’s death? And what’s next for the unstable older brother? Check out facts that prove David Jonsson is the right choice for Black Panther.
