“But the success of the first series has already convinced them that there is huge potential for a sequel.”
Hollywood sensation Guy, 55, has created a new version of his 2019 movie, but features a completely new cast of characters.
Ray, 67, plays Bobby Glass, a career criminal from London’s East End who founded a cannabis industrial empire.
Meanwhile, Theo, 39, plays Edward Horniman, who inherits “his father’s important estate only to discover” it is a “marijuana empire owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson,” and Daniel, 38, plays his disinherited older brother, Freddie.
Ray and Theo star alongside the likes of Chanel Cresswell, Joely Richardson and Gaia Weiss, as well as Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito, who plays a shrewd rich businessman.
Kaya, 32, plays Ray’s character Susie Glass, Bobby’s steely and elegant daughter, who runs the day-to-day business of her father’s empire.
In an endless series of twists and turns, a series of unsavory characters from the British criminal underworld want a piece of Eddie’s operation.

The pair play brothers on screen, but the actor has revealed that their relationship actually began much earlier, when the duo were studying together at Bristol Old Vic Theater School.
Speaking on Wednesday’s episode of This Morning, Daniel candidly revealed that he bumped into Theo, then a “roaring drunk”, at a house party.
He told presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary: “I was playing chess with someone in the room and he came in. “He later came back and said: ‘Are you still playing?’ You know there’s a party out there!”
Daniel continued: ‘An hour later he came roaring drunk and knocked down the chess board and threw it across the room and shouted, “Stop playing chess!”
“Later, everyone had their faces pressed to the window while he set off fireworks in the garden with his bare hands.”
