"It Has To Be Different": Netflix Show Star's Ideal Story Laid Out for Gentlemen Season 2
Starring in The Gentlemen, Theo James has described what he would want to see in a possible second season of the show, therefore detailing where the narrative of Eddie Horniman and the Glass family business could develop from here. The Gentlemen season one ended with Eddie and Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) acquiring more prominent roles in the cannabis business and hence becoming essential components of its future growth. This lets creator Guy Ritchie maybe create a season two, which might delve deeper on where the storylines of the characters lead.
James spoke about his expectations for The Gentlemen season two in a Deadline interview (via The Direct), stressing what he believes could transpires in a next batch of episodes. The series star clarified how he would want the show to transcend its original venue, maybe even outside the UK, to produce a larger narrative that lets characters like Eddie travel through even more extreme cycles. Review what James had to say below.
Where in the Gentlemen Season 2 may Eddie's Story find place?
James's concepts for The Gentlemen season two would provide Eddie with a far darker narrative, something that season one's setup has set up thanks to his working with the Glass family. His suggestion to relocate the show to another nation reflects Scodelario's aspirations for season two based on Collider's interview. Should the program be revived, this might be the ideal basis for season two since both lead actors want to see it become more about the larger world of the family's drug operations.
James's comparison of Eddie's future path to The Godfather suggests some fascinating outcomes from the darker route the actor wishes to take the program. Depending on how season two is handled, the show might develop like Barry, which progressively turned from a comedy to a drama. Inspired by various crime stories, the program might produce something unique with its characters and offer a recognizable prism from other crime stories. It might potentially surprise with a fresh direction that maintains its humorous moments intact.
Background: The Gentlemen
Guy Ritchie developed the crime drama series The Gentlemen for Netflix based on the same-named movie. The show centers Eddie Horniman, who inherits his father's estate only to find he has acquired a sizable cannabis empire along with all the competitors that go along with it.
The program guarantees to draw viewers that appreciate this kind of show since it offers a unique interpretation of the Crime Drama genre. To produce an interesting and thrilling viewing experience, it blends action and comedy.
The Gentleman: Where to Travel?
We had a fantastic day, and I believe there is some excitement about it which makes me very glad. Since you never know, really, how something will be perceived, I am rather appreciative of it. The Gentlemen is a challenge, and I believe the humorous Corleone family model offers another narrative worth telling. Guy [Ritchie], and I, and the rest of us discussed: you have Fredo, you have Eddie, you have an homage to one of the best stories of all time. But I believe you should have a really good tale and a pretty strong throughline if you are going to do it again. Though I think you need a spot to drive towards, if you do it again and it's kind of fun, weird tricks will be entertaining. And considering that, I believe that will present difficulty. Still, I have no doubt that one could accomplish that.
Although we never talked about Season 2 when we were filming, I believe that if you enter this universe once more, the key is it must differ from Season 1. First season introduces the characters to the universe; subsequently, there is a backbone of tale with antics throughout. If you keep in the same field with the shenanigans thing, I believe you worry that you diminish parts of the first season and it doesn't develop and some of the storylines become really pointless. Therefore, I believe that if you do it once again, you should perhaps relocate out of Halstead Manor as well as some of it out of Britain. Again, you never really replicate it since The Godfather is among the best movies ever made, but the concept of his soul being correctly blackened speaks to me and Guy always had some small argument with this. I intended, even in the first season, Eddie to be somewhat darker than he is at the very end. Eddie especially has to enter the jaws of the devil and be completely corrupted, therefore the others around him won't know the man he's evolved into should they return there.
Beyond Eddie and Susie, though, The Gentlemen's cast would have to come back as season 1 highlighted interesting characters like Freddy (Daniel Ings) and Stanley Johnston (Giancarlo Esposito).
Season two would need its unforgettable side characters to make it all the more interesting, even if they do not have the same key roles they did in the previous chapter. Eddie's extreme concentration on what James wants to do with the play, however, could cause unforeseen changes that would support the shift of scenery and maybe even of side characters too.
