I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.

As part of my tracking on what’s dethroning what on Netflix’s top 10 list, I keep waiting and waiting forto drop from #1, and it simply will not. It has held off all comers, even the recent Love is Blind reunion episode, and this is now 10 days or so that it’s been the highest viewed program on the service, as it was released on March 7.

As such, the idea that a season 2 is coming, further exploring Eddie and Susie’s adventures in the drug business, almost seems like a sure thing. While the season did not necessarily end on acliffhanger, it’s clear that there are many paths forward for the series to make new content, and Netflix is nothing if not in search of new hits, particularly as old ones end like The Crown and Stranger Things.

Another thing working to the advantage of The Gentlemen is its budget. We don’t know exactly how much it costs, but we do know two things. First, it is not a series hugely reliant on pricey VFX the way we see with so much other Netflix content. Second, unlike the first film it was spun out of, it does not have an ultra-high-profile A-list cast. Yes, Theo James and Kayla Scodelario are excellent as the leads, but they’re also not Matthew McConaughey and Colin Farrell either. Not yet, anyway.

I think this is pretty much a sure thing at this point. Netflix wants hits, they found one, it’s not meant to be a miniseries, it’s not that expensive. The end. This will happen, it’s just a matter of when Netflix decides to announce it. I have no doubt.
