Where to watch ‘The Gentlemen’ online right now

The Gentlemen is streaming right now, but only on one platform in the U.S., and the choices are narrower than they were six months ago. Netflix holds both the 2020 Guy Ritchie film and the 2024– series, including the new eight-episode Season 2 that landed on September 3. Every other legal option is a rental or purchase, and free ad-supported services have dropped the titles for now.

Platform exclusivity confirmed

Netflix carries the film and both seasons of the series on its standard and ad-supported plans. JustWatch’s October 20 update lists no other major U.S. streamers, confirming the titles are not on Hulu, Max, or Prime Video.

The arrangement is deliberate: Netflix ordered the series as an expansion of the movie’s London cannabis empire, and the platform has renewed it for Season 3 before Season 2 finished its first month on the charts.

Viewers who want the full story can start the movie and move straight into the series without switching accounts or juggling log-ins.

Film background and cast

The 2020 feature introduced Matthew McConaughey’s Mickey Pearson, a Yank building a weed fortune in Britain, and Charlie Hunnam’s fixer, Ray. Guy Ritchie’s circular plotting and punchy dialogue set the tone the Netflix series inherits.

At 113 minutes and rated R, the film still plays like a brisk sampler of the world the show later populates with Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, and Giancarlo Esposito.

Many viewers treat the movie as an optional prologue, yet its return to Netflix keeps the option open for anyone who wants the chronological route.

Season 2 timing and chart data

All eight episodes of Season 2 dropped at once, a strategy Netflix has used for its biggest English-language titles. FlixPatrol data showed it leading the worldwide charts within days of release.

The binge model rewards subscribers who want to finish the arc in a weekend, and social feeds lit up with theories about the Horniman estate and the Glass family’s next moves.

Renewal for Season 3 was announced in August, weeks before the premiere, signaling continued confidence in the franchise’s pull.

Rental and purchase prices

Amazon, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and Spectrum On Demand list the 2020 film for $3.99–$5.99 to rent and about $14.99 to buy in HD or 4K. No digital storefront carries the series yet.

These prices have held steady since the titles left Tubi and Pluto TV late last year, suggesting the window for free streaming has closed for the immediate future.

Viewers who prefer to own rather than subscribe can still pick up the movie without a monthly plan, though the series remains locked inside Netflix.

Season 3 already green-lit

Netflix confirmed Season 3 renewal in August, before Season 2 even premiered. That early order keeps writers and cast on the same schedule and prevents the usual post-finale guessing game.

Hugh Bonneville joined the ensemble for Season 2, adding another layer of British establishment satire to the mix. His casting drew quick attention on UK and U.S. social accounts alike.

Production is expected to begin early next year, with the same showrunner team that shaped the first two seasons.

No free ad-supported options

Tubi and Pluto TV carried the film during parts of 2025, but both services lost the rights ahead of Season 2. Current checks show no legal free tier available in the U.S.

Piracy chatter on forums tends to spike whenever a title leaves the free tier, yet the legal path remains the simplest for anyone already paying for Netflix.

Industry trackers note that the window for free streaming often reopens months later, so a future Tubi or Pluto listing is possible but not guaranteed.

International chart momentum

Season 2 appeared in top-ten lists across dozens of countries the week it launched, a reach that outpaced Season 1. The global numbers help explain why Netflix moved quickly on renewal.

Subscribers outside the U.S. see the same Netflix-only arrangement, so the platform remains the single worldwide home for both film and series.

Marketing pushes on TikTok and Instagram Reels leaned into Theo James’s wardrobe and the show’s country-estate settings, feeding a steady clip of fan edits.

Cast and creative continuity

Guy Ritchie created the series, wrote multiple episodes, and directed several himself, keeping the visual language consistent with the 2020 film. The move keeps the project feeling like a single expanding story rather than a separate spin-off.

Returning faces such as Daniel Ings’s Freddy and Ray Winstone’s Bobby Glass anchor the tone, while new additions like Hugh Bonneville widen the social satire.

That blend of crime plotting and upper-class skewering has become the franchise’s signature, and the shared Netflix home makes it easy to trace from one chapter to the next.

Future windows and viewer options

Season 2’s strong debut makes another licensing shuffle unlikely in the short term. The safest bet for U.S. viewers is to stay inside Netflix for both the movie and the series.

Anyone who wants to own the 2020 film can rent or buy it on the usual transactional platforms without affecting series access. Free ad-supported windows may reopen later, but nothing is scheduled.

For now, the path is straightforward: open Netflix, queue the film or start Season 1, and keep an eye on the inevitable Season 3 drop sometime in 2027.

Where things stand

The Gentlemen lives on Netflix in the U.S., with the film and both seasons available to subscribers and no current free legal alternatives. Rental copies of the 2020 movie remain an option for ownership-minded viewers, but the series is locked to the streamer that ordered it. Season 3 is already confirmed, so the franchise’s single-home arrangement is set to continue.
