\n\tThe Gentlemen<\/a> is set to return for a season three amid reports that Meghan Markle<\/a> was in talks to star in the upcoming installment of Guy Ritchie<\/a>\u2018s action comedy.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix<\/a> confirmed a slew of other renewals on Monday, including season two of the Dublin-set House of Guinness, Neil Forsyth\u2019s Legends with Steve Coogan, Being Gordon Ramsay, as well as a ninth season of Formula 1: Drive to Survive.<\/p>\n

\n\tAttention, however, will almost certainly be on the Theo James-led Gentlemen, which also releases its season two trailer \u2014\u00a0watch below \u2014\u00a0in line with the renewal confirmation. The show co-stars Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Joshua McGuire, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito and Ray Winstone, with Downton Abbey\u2018s Hugh Bonneville joining the cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Duchess of Sussex \u2014 who is moving back to the U.K. with husband Prince Harry \u2014\u00a0was being eyed for a starring role<\/a> in the next season of The Gentlemen, but on Saturday, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker Tina Brown said Markle has been dropped from consideration<\/a> after \u201cintense backlash in the U.K.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHer role was reportedly being written for the third season, but The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0did not hear back from reps for Markle or Ritchie over the weekend. Brown, author of two bestselling books about the royal family, said she stands by her reporting.<\/p>\n

\n\tCreator, writer, director and executive producer Ritchie said about the confirmation of a third installment: \u201cThe ambition of The Gentlemen has accelerated, the world has expanded and the consequences carry weight. A third season felt inevitable, and I\u2019m looking forward to pushing the boundaries of it further.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news follows more renewals including Love Is Blind U.K. season four, The Rest Is Football season two, Black Doves season two, At Home With the Furys season three, Black Mirror season eight and Supacell season two.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnne Mensah, vice president of U.K. content at Netflix, said: \u201cOur audiences loved these shows, so it is such a delight to bring them back. To revisit the Guinness family, cook with the Ramsays, go undercover with the Legends and be At Home With The Furys. A huge thank you to the brilliant producers, actors, writers, directors and crew behind these shows and all of our returners on Netflix \u2014 it\u2019s an utter privilege to host these gems.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Gentlemen is set to return for a season three amid reports that Meghan Markle was in talks…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1022690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[30],"tags":[171,247177,1801,6436,4659,407294,26649,173,376,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-1022689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-guy-ritchie","tag-international","tag-meghan-markle","tag-netflix","tag-the-gentlemen","tag-thr-original-video","tag-tv","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117154980142221781","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1022689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1022689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1022689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1022690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1022689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1022689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1022689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
