Vinnie Jones Gets Ready for Round Two: The Gentlemen Series Two Hits the Set with a Bang!

The anticipation is building, and the drama is heating up as Vinnie Jones continues filming for the highly-anticipated second season of The Gentlemen series. The actor, known for his iconic hardman character Geoffrey Seacombe, was spotted on set in Slough, England, behind the wheel of a classic Land Rover Defender, strapped to a filming rig as he navigated through the foggy landscape.

Sources close to the production have revealed that Jones will be joined by an all-star cast, including Jasmine Blackborow and newcomer Benjamin Clementine, who has just been added to the mix. The show's creator, Guy Ritchie, began shooting season two in June with a bang, and now it seems like things are heating up even more.

But what can fans expect from this new season? Insiders claim that Hugh Bonneville, best known for his role as Robert Crawley in Downton Abbey, will be playing a pivotal character. However, the identity of his character remains under wraps, leaving fans to speculate about his involvement in the show's narrative.

According to The Sun, Bonneville's new look has left fans stunned. "They've given him a very distinctive new look," an insider revealed. "With his giant head of grey hair and thick black glasses, he looks like a completely different person."

Ritchie's 2019 film adaptation of The Gentlemen proved to be a box office hit, grossing over $115 million against a reported budget of just $22 million. And it seems like the show is following in its footsteps, with fans raving about its unique blend of humor and drama.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first series received an impressive 75% on the Tomatometer and 83% on the Popcornmeter. Fans took to review site IMDB to praise the show's instant classic status, with one reviewer exclaiming, "The best thing Netflix has produced in a very long time."

With its star-studded cast, including Theo James as aristocratic Eddie Halstead and Kaya Scodelario as steely Susie Glass, it's no wonder that fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment. And with Vinnie Jones back on set, it looks like things are about to get even more dramatic.

What do we know so far?

Guy Ritchie began shooting season two of his Netflix gangster show The Gentlemen with very dramatic action scenes in London back in June

The Gentlemen series two is expected to pick up where the first season left off, with Eddie Halstead (Theo James) facing a new set of challenges as he navigates the complex world of marijuana trade. But what role will Hugh Bonneville play in this drama? Fans are eagerly waiting for answers.

In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note, Vinnie Jones revealed that he's been working closely with Ritchie to bring his character to life. "Guy is a genius," Jones said. "He's got a clear vision, and I'm just trying to stay out of the way and let him do his magic."

When asked about the show's themes, Jones hinted at the complexity of the marijuana trade. "It's not just about weed; it's about power, greed, and the consequences of getting caught up in something that's bigger than you," he said.

But now Vinnie was back shooting new scenes this weekend as a woodland in the west London area was transformed into a foggy set

The Gentlemen series two is set to be a wild ride, with its intricate plotlines, complex characters, and plenty of action-packed drama. And with Vinnie Jones back on set, fans can rest assured that this will be one show not to miss.
