The Cast of Virgin River Netflix: A Potential Sequel on the Horizon?

The success of series one has already convinced them there’s huge potential for a follow-up. According to insiders, Netflix chiefs are keen for a sequel, despite the challenges that lie ahead in reassembling the star-studded cast. The original film boasted major names like Matthew McConaughey, Michelle Dockery, and Hugh Grant, making it a daunting task to get them to return for a shooting schedule that would almost triple that of a film.

Despite these hurdles, an insider revealed to The Sun that Netflix executives are eager for a sequel, buoyed by the overwhelming success of the first season. There is already talk of writers being approached and discussions with Guy Ritchie about what he might want to do in a second season, what things to focus on. Producer Marc Helwig hinted at ongoing preparations, stating that they have started the process and even suggested the potential for a broader 'Guy Ritchie world.'

However, cast member Giancarlo Esposito recently revealed that 'nothing was ever discussed' about a renewal hadn't taken place. The show, set in Guy Ritchie's gritty underworld, follows Eddie Halstead (Theo James) and Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) as they navigate a turf war in the marijuana empire led by the formidable Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone).

Since its premiere on March 7th, The Gentlemen has dominated Netflix's charts, outshining formidable contenders like the Game of Thrones' showrunners latest project and the latest sleuthing, serial killer adaptation of Patricia Higsmith's novel Ripley. With its slick crime series and inspiration from Guy Ritchie's 2019 film of the same name, The Gentlemen has become Netflix's breakout hit of the year, sparking speculation about its future.

While a second season seems imminent given the show's popularity, it remains to be seen whether Netflix can overcome the challenges of reassembling the cast. Nevertheless, producer Helwig's hint at ongoing preparations suggests that The Gentlemen season 2 may be in the cards despite facing a few bumps in the road. Only time will tell if we'll get to see more of Eddie Halstead and Susie Glass navigating the gritty underworld of marijuana empire.
