The Gentlemen S2: A Hidden Pool Forced a Script Change | Collider BTS

Published Sep 27, 2026, 2:15 PM EDT The Gentlemen Season 2 turned broad daylight into moonlight for one of its action-heavy episodes — and doing it convincingly required far more than simply making the image darker. Director of photography Dan Atherton explains how Netflix’s The Gentlemen Season 2 tackled day-for-night cinematography, including controlling sunlight around a house with roughly ten large windows, building soft sources into blockers, adding hard accent lights, and creating the final silvery look through grading. He also reveals why shooting exterior scenes in direct sunlight could sometimes produce better results than overcast conditions.
