The second season of the Theo James-led series saw 45% fewer viewers than its first season did.
Recent Wire Report: The Gentlemen Fails to Capture Viewers' Attention in Second Season
According to a recent report by Deadline, Guy Ritchie's action-comedy series "The Gentlemen" has experienced a staggering 45% drop in viewership compared to its first season. The second season of the show premiered on September 3 and has only accumulated 6.7 million views, a significant decline from the 12.2 million views the first season garnered during the same period in March 2024.
While Netflix has attempted to market the second season, with star Theo James making a notable press push, the show has still struggled to maintain its audience. Intriguingly, "The Gentlemen" even managed to secure a third-season renewal before the second season even debuted, leading to speculation about a potential appearance by Meghan Markle in the upcoming season.
However, these efforts appear to have had little impact on the show's declining viewership. Despite the challenges, Netflix has evidently planned for a future with "The Gentlemen," hoping to turn the tide by limiting the gap between seasons to less than two and a half years.
