Netflix announces new cast members for “The Gentlemen” season 3, with production beginning in the UK and Morocco. The third season also follows the show’s renewal and is described as expanding in scale, with creator Guy Ritchie saying the project’s ambition has accelerated.

Among the additions are Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom and Robert Carlyle, alongside Dexter Fletcher, Bruna Marquezine, Saffron Burrows, Ed Speleers and rapper Bugzy Malone. Coverage broadly frames the move as part of the series’ growing, star-heavy ensemble.

Several outlets also address Meghan Markle’s absence, referring to prior reporting that her name had been linked to the show. HuffPost UK includes more detail on claims cited by The Telegraph and The Times about “sources close to the Duchess” and “show insiders,” suggesting there were competing accounts about whether she was ever in talks for the series.
