As filming has begun in the UK, creator Ritchie has delved into the bigger scope of the follow-up.
"I am delighted to return to set for season two of The Gentlemen," the filmmaker said in a statement.
"This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes."
He continued: "Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they're besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players.
"The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew."
The Gentlemen season 1 is streaming on Netflix now. Season 2 is currently in production and will be released on the streamer at a later date.
