Crime meets caviar! It’s time to meet a new class of criminal in the official teaser for The Gentleman, a new drama series from Guy Ritchie, inspired by the original Miramax film.
THE GENTLEMEN sees Eddie Horniman (Theo James) unexpectedly inherit his father’s sizeable country estate – only to discover it’s part of a cannabis empire. Moreover, a host of unsavoury characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of the operation.

However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it.
Debuting today, the teaser for THE GENTLEMEN also reveals veteran actor Ray Winstone will star in the series. Ray will play Bobby Glass, a career criminal from the East End of London who founded an industrial cannabis empire.
Winstone joins a host of on-screen talent, led by Emmy-nominated The White Lotus 2 star, Theo James as The Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman, who finds himself embroiled in criminality after inheriting his father’s estate, and Kaya Scodelario (Crawl, The Pale Horse) who plays Susie Glass, Bobby’s effortlessly stylish and steely daughter who runs the day-to-day business of the empire.
