Fans of the hit series The Gentlemen have been eagerly awaiting updates on the highly anticipated second season, and there is now a confirmed release year. Production for The Gentlemen season 2 is set to begin in early 2025 and will continue until November of the same year. Netflix recently announced that the sequel is officially slated for release in 2026, joining other beloved series like Bridgerton season 4 and One Piece season 2 on the streaming platform’s lineup.
Although the announcement solidifies the timeframe, it may not come as a surprise as Netflix had always planned to release the show in 2026. The earlier completion of the production phase, which is wrapping up a month ahead of schedule, paves the way for the post-production phase to commence sooner than anticipated. As a result, while the release date remains set for 2026, there is speculation that it could potentially be pushed earlier, contingent on Netflix’s scheduling plans amid a busy roster of shows.
Typically, post-production for series of this nature takes between five to ten months. For a period drama like The Gentlemen—which requires intricate visual effects and green screening—the post-production timeline can be extended. The first season took about nine months from the end of production to its release. However, with some foundational work already completed for the second season, there may be a chance that this timeline could decrease slightly.
If we project a nine-month post-production period, a rough estimate places the release around July 2026. This does align with the pattern we have seen from Netflix regarding season gaps, making it feel like a standard wait for viewers.
The excitement for season 2 remains high, as viewers anticipate the return of the Theo James-led series. While the wait may feel lengthy, fans are sure to find that the new episodes will be well worth it. For now, audiences can continue enjoying the first season, which is currently available to stream on Netflix, as they look forward to more thrilling content in the future.
