In the series, a host of unsavory characters from the British criminal underworld want a piece of Eddie’s operation.
Determined to free his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to make the gangsters play their own game. But as he gets sucked into the world of crime, he begins to find a taste for it.
Speaking about the new production, Guy said: ‘The world of ‘The Gentlemen’ is a bit mine, I’m very happy that with Netflix, Miramax and Moonage we have this opportunity to inhabit it again.
“We look forward to bringing fans back to that world and introducing new characters and their stories, and I’m excited to do so with this extremely talented cast.”
In addition to creating the TV series adaptation, Guy will also direct the first two episodes.
The 2019 film starred Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell, Jeremy Strong, Henry Golding and Hugh Grant.
