\n\t\u201cThe Gentlemen<\/a>\u201d Season 2 has seen a 48% jump in viewership in its second week of release on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Guy Ritchie<\/a> show, which features Theo James and Kaya Scodelario as the managers of a blossoming criminal empire, has seen its second season jump to the top of the streamer\u2019s English language global TV chart with 9.9 million views in the week from Sept. 7 to 15. <\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 2 premiered on Sept. 3, racking up 6.7 million views in three days and putting it at number 3 on the previous week\u2019s chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the figures still don\u2019t quite match those of Season 1, which garnered 12.2 million views in 3 days when it launched in March 2024, it suggests that viewers are continuing to return to the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tPerhaps unsurprisingly, the release of the second season has also prompted Season 1 to climb the charts again as audiences either re-watch or watch the show for the first time before potentially diving into the second season. Despite being released two and a half years ago, Season 1 has hit number 3 on the same chart, racking up over 8 million views between Sept. 7 to 15.<\/p>\n

\n\tTaking both seasons together, it means almost 18 million people have been watching \u201cThe Gentlemen\u201d over the past week. It will be interesting to see how many of the current Season 1 audience move to Season 2 in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tVariety\u2018s reviewer Aramide Tinubu called the show\u2019s latest outing<\/a> \u201cEngaging, devastating and thoroughly entertaining\u201d adding: \u201cIt\u2019s clear that with its second season, \u2018The Gentlemen\u2019 has upped the ante and fully hit its stride.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year Bloomberg reported that Netflix experiences a notable decline in viewership<\/a> in second seasons of its original shows, although Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos played down the significance of the report during a subsequent earnings call. \u201cOur second seasons are performing well within our bands of expectation. We very often we see drop off from Season 1 to Season 2. It\u2019s very common in the industry, but it\u2019s even more so with us because we launch our shows so big.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added: \u201cOur Season 2 fall-off is actually slightly improved this year relative to last year, so no changes in release strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRegardless, Netflix has shown \u201cThe Gentlemen\u201d is a priority for them, renewing the show for a third season<\/a> before the second one had launched and supporting Season 2 with a swanky premiere and afterparty at the historic Guildhall venue in east London. All of which means fans of the show can rest assured there\u2019s plenty more glitz and gore<\/a> to come from the Guy Ritchie extravaganza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe Gentlemen\u201d Season 2 has seen a 48% jump in viewership in its second week of release on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625832,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,58203,61,60,1868,230032,282],"class_list":["post-625831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-guy-ritchie","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-netflix","tag-the-gentlemen","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
