The Gentlemen is introducing some questionable characters in season 2.
The Netflix action series, which was created by Guy Ritchie, returned for a second season on Sept. 3 and will continue following the 13th Duke of Halstead, Edward “Eddie” Horniman (Theo James) as the leader of a major criminal enterprise.
While the first season revolved around his hesitancy to inherit his father’s illicit business, the second season features him embracing the role with the help of Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario), who’s leading her father, Bobby Glass’ (Ray Winstone) criminal business while he’s in prison.
“By Season 2, he is a man very much at the helm of it, and he’s bought into the possibilities of what both worlds can bring him, both as an aristocrat and a criminal,” James told Tudum of his character. “That ignites a fiery ambition in him, and it also starts to move the ego. It gives him the ability to make decisions based on this idea of wanting more.”
In addition to James, Scodelario and Winstone, there are a handful of new players entering the second season, ranging from aristocrats to elite criminals. Netflix also already renewed the series for a third season ahead of the second season’s premiere.
Here’s everything to know about the new characters joining season 2 of The Gentlemen.

Although many viewers may recognize Maya Jama from reality television, she’s fully embraced the role of Aisha in season 2 of The Gentlemen. Jama, whose known for past hosting gigs on The Circle and Love Island, told Variety in 2026 that she didn’t “know what I’m allowed to say” about the show.
“But on the first day I came to set, it was the most overwhelming thing ever because it was all the leads in the room,” she recalled. “And Guy Ritchie likes to change his lines as you’re going, so I’d spent two days learning every line, locked in, and then as soon as I got there he was like, ‘Maybe we’ll add this or change this.’ I thought, ‘F— me, in front of all these icons?!’ ”
Jama further shared that she “did a proper audition,” because acting in a series has “always been something in the back of my mind.”
Michele Morrone as Cico Maldini

Michele Morrone is embracing another manipulative character as “mercurial fixer” and member of an Italian crime family, Cico Maldini.
“[Cico] is the man they’re entrusting to help them navigate their criminal enterprise in Italy, but he’s not a man to be trusted,” lead writer and executive producer Matthew Read told Tudum.
The Italian actor and singer has never shied away from playing controversial characters and has previously starred in the 365 Days franchise, Another Simple Favor and The Housemaid.

Sergio Castellitto isn’t messing around as the terrifying Italian crime boss, Marco Moretti.
“They’re operating in Italy under the radar,” Read said of Eddie and his crew, but they quickly draw the attention of the ruthless Italian mafia led by Marco.

British professional boxer Chris Eubank Jr. is making his acting debut as Organ John, a dangerous boxer and enforcer.
“I think I was built for this,” Eubank Jr. told Hello!, while adding that he got the role after visiting the set. “I said to [Guy]: ‘Listen, if there’s any way you can get me in … I’ll be a background guy – just let me do something.’ I wasn’t even expecting it to be in The Gentlemen.”
Even though it’s his first professional acting credit, Eubank Jr. is no stranger to the camera, as he’s boxed in matches broadcast across the world.

Tyler Conti portrays Joe Green, who has a long history with Susie.
“I play Joe Green, who’s a dealer and also becomes Susie Glass’s new love interest,” Conti told 5’Eleven’ in August 2026. “He actually knew Susie when they were kids, as he’s good friends with her younger brother, Jack, so there’s already a history there when we meet him.”
Conti teased that his character previously “had a relationship” with Susie, and he’ll be introduced in the first episode “as he comes back into her life.”
“It’s a really fun character and an exciting world to be part of,” he said. “And, obviously, it’s really exciting to be in a Guy Ritchie production.”
Prior to his role in The Gentlemen, Conti appeared in Fightland, Safe and Tell Me Everything.
