The Gentlemen Series: Release Date, Cast, and Everything to Know

The Gentlemen was a box office hit in 2019 from director Guy Ritchie, featuring an action-comedy plot with a stellar ensemble cast. With the story of cannabis looking to sell his business, encountering numerous schemes and attempts on his life in the process, this film impressed critics and audience, and made $115 million at the worldwide box office. While it certainly didn’t contend with the gross sales of Avengers: Endgame it has left enough of an impression to inspire a Netflix series set in the same world. You might be wondering when you can see The Gentlemen series on Netflix, and who is in it.
