The second season of House of the Dragon is over and we likely won't see season 3 until sometime in 2026. But we will get to revisit Westeros before that. Next year, HBO will debut a new Game of Thrones prequel series called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas by George R.R. Martin.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is an altogether smaller story than we saw in either Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. There's no massive war afoot; there's just a very tall knight named Ser Duncan the Tall and his diminuitive squire Egg, who wander the Seven Kingdoms having adventures. The first season will be based on Martin's story "The Hedge Knight," which begins with Dunk entering himself into a tournament in Ashford Meadow in the Reach. There he'll meet a variety of characters, including a member of...

One of Netflix's hottest shows of 2024 has gotten a second-season renewal! Here's what we know so far on The Gentlemen Season 2!

Fans of Netflix are used to the streamer sadly canceling some great shows after one season. So it's a bit of a surprise to hear one is getting renewed just five months after appearing. However, it shows that The Gentlemen has become a hot series for fans. 

Created by famed director Guy Ritchie, the movie is loosely based on his 2019 film of the same name. It follows Eddie Horniman (Theo James), a Sas officer who returns to his English estate when his father dies. Eddie is shocked when he's named the heir to the place over older brother Freddy (Daniel Ings). That's because Freddie is a drug-addicted moron who's millions of pounds in debt to local mobsters.

Eddie soon discovers that his father is growing a cannabis farm...

The second season of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon wrapped up this past weekend, and we'll likely be waiting until 2026 for more episodes. However, HBO isn't going to let us go that long without another visit to Westeros. It's readying another Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, to air sometime next year.

Set decades after the events of House of the Dragon but decades before the events of Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas by author George R.R. Martin. This first, six-episode season is based on the first of those novellas, The Hedge Knight. Here's HBO's official description:

A century before the events ofGame of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros … a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in...

Discovery February, 2024 earnings call, CEO David Zaslov revealed the prequel is currently in preproduction.

One of the most talked-about scenes from Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen is the one in which a cocaine-fueled Freddy Horniman, played by Daniel Ings, dances in a chicken costume to wipe out a debt he owes to a gang of drug dealers. He’s forced to fly like a chicken and eat imaginary seeds off the ground — and that scene, says Ings, was almost entirely unscripted. “There was a version of it in the script, but the ending was structured slightly differently, it was more comic and more of an aside, like the plot of the episode is over and you get to see this moment where the silly guy gets changed,” he tells THR.

Ings says he got more and more exhausted as he had to film the scene over and over again. “I think there is genuine frustration because I had no idea what I was doing...

When Guy Ritchie’s crime comedy series The Gentlemen debuted on Netflix in March, it came in at #1 Global Top 10 for English-Language Series, garnering 1.2B minutes viewed in its first four days on the platform, according to Nielsen. That being said, will there be a Season 2?

“It wasn’t genuinely discussed,” star Theo James admitted today, in an appearance at Deadline’s Contenders TV. “I think it would be a wrangling process with all of us and Guy. But also, I think with a show like this, if you’re going to do more, you need to come up with a really interesting conceit for Season 2. Because as much as we enjoyed it and as fun as it was, it needs narrative drive.”

If an interesting idea is put forward, he said, then maybe another installment is in the cards. “But I think before that,” James added, “there needs to be discussions,...

Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen was hailed as a return to form when it hit theaters in 2020, and now the gangster franchise is being expanded with an all-new series on Netflix. While it doesn’t feature the same ensemble cast, the show is very much in the same vein as the film, with Ritchie serving as executive producer and director on the first two episodes.

The entire season is now available on Netflix, and to celebrate the release, we sat down with a big chunk of the ensemble cast. First up were Theo James and Daniel Ings, who play the blue-blooded brothers at the show’s core. They play the sons of a late Duke who’s left them somewhat impoverished but land-rich. They discover their late dad was in cahoots with a major marijuana dealer. With the older brother, Ings’s Freddy, heavily in debt to the mob, the younger,...

Guy Ritchie’s limited Netflix series adaptation of his movie of the same name shot at the Duke of Beaufort’s Badminton Estate in Gloucestershire, England. “The family was there looking very disapprovingly at us running around in chicken suits and saying ‘cunt’ a lot,” star Theo James told Variety at a special screening of the show at the Tudum Theatre in Hollywood. “They were not impressed. They thought it was going to be ‘Bridgerton.’”

James stars in the series as a British Army officer who inherits his father’s massiva estate, which he eventually finds out is being used by a drug kingpin and his daughter to run their marijuana empire.

Daniel Ings plays James’ older very drug-addicted alcoholic brother. “I think it was vitamins,” Ings said of the fake cocaine he had to snort for the show. “Boy, I went through a lot. It’s fun playing these...

“White Lotus” star Theo James smoulders over a glass of liquor in the first images to emerge from Guy Ritchie’s upcoming series “The Gentlemen.”

Kaya Scodelario (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge”) and Vinnie Jones also star in the series, which is loosely based on Ritchie’s 2019 feature starring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell, Jeremy Strong and Michelle Dockery.

The original cast are not set to return for the show, in which James plays Eddie Horniman, an aristocrat who inherits his estranged family’s estate only to discover it’s home to Europe’s largest weed farm.

Instead James, Scodelario and Jones will be joined by Daniel Ings (“I Hate Suzie”), Joely Richardson (“Nip/Tuck”), Peter Serafinowicz (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) and Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”).

“A host of unsavoury characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of Eddie’s operation,...

Exclusive: Actors Mark McKinney and Daniel Ings have signed on to star in the comedy road movie A Rush of Blood.

We understand British filmmaker Tristan Shepherd will direct the pic from a screenplay he also wrote. Billed as a “comedy, thriller, road trip movie,” the plot follows a British-Canadian couple, who get their last shot at fulfilling their professional ambitions — and any hope of reinvigorating their marriage — when their independent film is selected for Sundance. However, when they accept a ride to Park City with Reegan, a young, self-styled film reporter, who becomes increasingly maniacal as the journey unfolds, their dream slowly turns into a nightmare – more frightening than any film plot they could have ever devised. McKinney will play a character named Larry, while Ings will suit up as a character named Brian.

The end of the year is a time for self-reflection. Sometimes, if you’re looking for a TV show to watch as the calendar waits to flip over, the goal is to find something that reflects a little bit of yourself back at you. Wind down in the vicinity of a fireplace and let a show wrap you like a warm blanket.

For those who want to go the opposite route and lean into every last shred of anxiety, “I Hate Suzie” Season 2 is here just in time for your end-of-year celebration of choice. A show that began as a laser-focused fame dramedy released on HBO Max in the heart of 2020 (not exactly the most calming chapter in world history either) returns for a follow-up, with Billie Piper’s former child star Suzie Pickles back under the fictional microscope again.

In the cheekily titled “I Hate Suzie Too,” Suzie’s...

The cast of The Gentlemen series is growing like a weed. See what I did there? After casting actor Theo James as the show’s star, Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series adaptation welcomes more stars to the cast. Joining James for the anticipated crime comedy are Vinnie Jones, Kaya Scodalerio, Giancarlo Esposito, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, and Peter Serafinowicz.

According to reports, Jones will star as Geoff Seacombe, the estate’s groundskeeper; Scodalerio will play Susie Glass, a compliment to Eddie Halstead (Theo James), who oversees Mickey Pearson’s drug business. Meanwhile, Ings will play Freddy Halstead, Eddie’s older sibling who owes dangerous people a lot of money; Richardson will play Lady Sabrina, Eddie and Freddy’s mother. Lastly, James plays the project’s lead character, Eddie Halstead, who inherits his father’s substantial estate and discovers he’s in charge of a marijuana empire owned by the notorious Mickey Pearson.

Guy Ritchie is set to reunite with longtime collaborator Vinnie Jones in Netflix’s The Gentlemen, a TV series inspired by Ritchie’s 2019 Miramax film. Jones joins the cast alongside Kaya Scodalerio (Crawl), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), Daniel Ings (I Hate Suzie), Joely Richardson (Lady Chatterley’s Lover) and Peter Serafinowicz (The Tick).
