With The Gentlemen dominating the entertainment headlines right now thanks to ongoing rumours about a certain jaw-dropping public figure joining the cast, Netflix shared on Monday evening that the show had been renewed for a third season.
But the announcements didn’t stop there.
Immediately after the news about The Gentlemen’s future, the streaming giant confirmed that it was greenlighting returns for a string of hit shows – including a few updates that fans have waiting a long time for.
Here’s a quick round-up of all the series that Netflix teased comebacks for as part of Monday’s mass announcement…
House Of Guinness was created by Peaky Blinders and A Thousand Blows screenwriter Steven Knight, who is next set to pen the upcoming reboot of the James Bond saga.
A historical drama about the famous brewing dynasty, the show premiered in September 2025 – meaning fans have been waiting for confirmation about a season two for the better part of a year.
Finally, it’s been revealed that more episodes are in the works, with Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge and James Norton all expected to return.
Steven Knight told Netflix’s Tudum: “It was such a joy to bring the Guinness story to the screen, so I’m beyond thrilled to be continuing the story of one of the world’s greatest dynasties into season two.
“I can’t wait to dive deeper into these characters and their complex relationships as they expand the Guinness empire […] there’s so much more to find out about them. We’ll see how they grow up because House Of Guinness is about a family growing up together.
“Even in season one, they change quite a bit. In season two, it will be interesting to see what changes and what stays the same.”
Speculation about whether Legends would get a season two – and how exactly that might work – has been rife ever since the show premiered back in May.
Helmed by The Gold creator Neil Forsyth and led by a sprawling all-star cast that includes Steve Coogan and Tom Burke, the six-part series was a hit with viewers, presenting a dramatic retelling of a real-life British heist that took place in the early 1990s.
Because it was inspired by true events, some wondered exactly how a second season of Legends would work, but Netflix has now revealed that we’re about to find out.
Neil Forsyth enthused: ““I’m delighted to have the opportunity to tell a new story in the fascinating and unique world that Legends offers, and to show just how dangerous, thrilling, and important their work became in the late 1990s.”
Meanwhile, Netflix has teased that the new episodes will see “the unlikely team” being “drawn back into the world of undercover maneuvering, with the outside world none the wiser”.
