The Gentlemen adaptations: films & series
Every version of The Gentlemen — the films & series, compared across media.
The Gentlemen is a world of underground weed empires, aristocratic entanglements, and criminal schemes set in and around London — where power shifts the moment someone tries to cash out or stumbles in uninvited. That premise has been told across both a film and a TV series, each following a different entry point into the same dangerous milieu of money, loyalty, and competing ambitions. Whether you come via the movie or the show, the world is unmistakably the same one.
The Gentlemen films
Frequently asked
Is The Gentlemen TV series based on the 2020 film?
Yes — The Gentlemen (2024) series is set in the same criminal world as The Gentlemen (2020) film, though it follows a new protagonist, Eddie, rather than continuing Mickey Pearson's story directly.
How many versions of The Gentlemen are there?
There are two: the 2020 film and the 2024 TV series. Both are crime-comedy stories centred on London's underground marijuana trade, approached from different characters' perspectives.
Should I watch the film or the TV series first?
Either works as a starting point — The Gentlemen (2020) introduces the criminal world through Mickey Pearson, while the 2024 series enters it fresh through Eddie and his inherited estate.
