To mark the start of production on Friday, James and Scodelario appeared in a teaser in which Eddie and Susie enjoyed a cup of tea together. The camera then rapidly zoomed out to reveal they were in a tent in the middle of the desert.

The second season of The Gentlemen debuted on Netflix in early September.
