What Is The Gentlemen Season 2 About?

The Gentlemen‘s first season followed the story of Eddie Horniman, who unexpectedly inherited his father’s sprawling country estate only to learn it was part of a cannabis empire. With plenty of Britain’s criminal underworld eager to snag a piece of the operation, Eddie was determined to remove his family from their clutches and tried playing gangsters at their own game. When Eddie found himself sucked into the criminal world and enterprise, he learned he had a talent for it and found an unexpected ally in Susie Glass.

Season 2 is set one year after Eddie and Susie joined forces to work together on the criminal empire overseas. As they drive to expand their business, the decisions Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound. Now Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all.
