“Another hurdle will be securing Guy for the series as he already has several film projects in the pipeline this year.
‘But the success of series one has already convinced them that there is huge potential for a sequel.’
Hollywood sensation Guy, 55, has come up with a fresh take on his Movie from 2019, but features a whole new cast of characters.
Ray, 67, stars as Bobby Glass, a career criminal from London’s East End who has created an industrial cannabis empire.
Meanwhile, Theo, 39, plays Edward Horniman – who “inherits his father’s extensive estate only to discover” it is a “weed empire owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson” – and Daniel, 38, plays his disinherited eldest brother Freddie.
Ray and Theo star alongside Chanel Cresswell, Joely Richardson and Gaia Weiss, as well as Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito, who plays a scheming, wealthy entrepreneur.
Kaya, 32, plays Susie Glass – Ray’s character Bobby’s effortlessly stylish and steely daughter who runs the day-to-day affairs of her father’s empire.
In an endless series of twists, a host of unsavory characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of Eddie’s operation.

The Crown star Daniel Ings recently recalled a raucous drama school party where he first met his The Gentleman co-star Theo.
The pair play brothers on screen, but the actor has revealed that their relationship actually started much earlier, when the duo studied together at Bristol Old Vic Theater School.
On Wednesday’s episode of This Morning, Daniel candidly revealed he came across then ‘roaring drunk’ Theo at a house party.
He told presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary: ‘I was playing chess with someone in the living room and he came in. Later he came back and said, ‘Are you still playing? You know there’s a party out there!’ ‘
Daniel continued, “An hour later he came back roaring drunk, dropped the chessboard, threw it across the room and shouted, ‘Stop playing chess!’
‘Later everyone sat with their faces pressed against the window while lighting fireworks in the garden with their bare hands.’
