The Gentlemen in Morocco: Season 3 Filming Locations, Rabat, Erfoud and Production Details

Is The Gentlemen Season 3 filming in Morocco?

Yes. Netflix Tudum stated on October 23, 2026 that the third season was currently shooting in the UK and Morocco. That official update changes the evidence picture. Early reports about a Moroccan unit came from local media in September; Netflix itself now identifies Morocco as a production country.

What Netflix does not do is identify streets, buildings, hotels or individual scenes. Le360 reported on September 14 that filming had begun in Rabat the previous day and that Erfoud was also selected. Those cities are therefore supported by Moroccan press reporting, while the country-level confirmation comes from Netflix. They are different sources answering different parts of the question.

This page keeps three evidence levels separate: official statements from Netflix, Moonage Pictures, Companies House and Moroccan film authorities; attributed reporting from established media; and first-party information about a supplier’s own involvement. It does not turn an attractive location, an actor’s restaurant visit or a public fleet image into proof of a scene.

The new Season 3 cast announced by Netflix

Netflix’s October update adds nine new names: Robert Carlyle, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Dexter Fletcher, Bruna Marquezine, Ed Speleers, Saffron Burrows, Philip Arditti and Bugzy Malone. Theo James returns as Eddie Horniman, with Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings among the returning cast identified by Netflix.

The source confirms participation in Season 3; it does not say that every newly announced performer shot in Morocco. A responsible account should not connect a cast member to Rabat or Erfoud unless Netflix, the production or reliable reporting makes that connection. The UK and Moroccan units are parts of one production, not proof that the entire ensemble visited every location.

Guy Ritchie remains central to the series’ creative identity. Moonage Pictures’ official page describes The Gentlemen as a Moonage production for Netflix in association with Miramax Television. That production credit is useful because it identifies roles without collapsing Netflix, Moonage and local Moroccan services into a single organisation.

Rabat: the best-documented Moroccan filming location

Rabat is the clearest location in the first wave of reporting. Le360 said filming began there on September 13, 2026 and later reported Theo James in the capital. The articles do not provide a public call sheet, a comprehensive location list or permission to treat a social sighting as a set.

The capital can offer several visual registers within a manageable area: administrative avenues, twentieth-century architecture, Atlantic coastline, the medina, the Kasbah of the Udayas, historic walls and contemporary roads. This density can help a production find contrasting backgrounds without rebuilding its entire base for every exterior. It explains Rabat’s general production value, but it cannot tell us which landmark appears in a particular episode.

A photograph of Hassan Tower documents Rabat, not The Gentlemen’s camera position. A restaurant visited by an actor is not automatically a filming location. A vehicle photographed in the city is not necessarily a picture car. These distinctions may sound cautious, yet they are precisely what separates a durable reference page from a rumour roundup.

Erfoud: a pre-Saharan base, not a synonym for Merzouga

Le360 also named Erfoud. The Tafilalet town provides access to mineral landscapes, palm groves, long roads and pre-Saharan environments. It presents a very different operational setting from Rabat: longer movements, dust, heat, sparse services outside the town and greater dependence on planned transport and technical support.

Erfoud and Merzouga are not interchangeable. Travel guides frequently mention them together because Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes form part of the same broad tourism circuit. A report naming Erfoud does not prove filming on the dunes. Netflix’s October 23 update does not name Merzouga, Marrakech, Ouarzazate or Aït Benhaddou either.

This geographical discipline matters. Adding famous Moroccan destinations may capture more words, but it weakens the answer. The verified position is narrower: Netflix confirms Morocco; Moroccan press reports Rabat and Erfoud; the production has not released a full public location map.

Who does what: Netflix, Moonage, Dune Films and Accrocar

International television production involves several distinct layers. Calling every company a “Netflix partner” hides the practical and legal differences. The clearest public model is:

Companies House records the active legal entity MOONAGE PICTURES (THE GENTLEMEN) LIMITED, company number 14115797, with television programme production as its stated business activity. “Moonage Pictures” or “MOONAGE PICTURES LIMITED” may be used as a shortened production reference, but the registry name should be used when legal precision matters. The register proves the entity exists; it does not disclose a Morocco supplier agreement.

Dune Films presents itself as a full-service Moroccan production company established in 1998, with bases in Marrakech and Ouarzazate. Its public services include locations, permits, crews, equipment, transport, fleets and production coordination. That track record explains how a local services company can support an international series. It does not mean that every service listed on its website was necessarily used for The Gentlemen.

Accrocar and the Luxury Vehicles Behind The Gentlemen’s Morocco Production

Accrocar confirms that it collaborated directly with Dune Films and MOONAGE PICTURES LIMITED in connection with the Morocco production of The Gentlemen, including the supply of luxury vehicles for production requirements. This is a first-party statement about Accrocar’s own work, supplied directly by the company to the publisher.

The wording has boundaries. It does not establish Accrocar as an “official Netflix supplier,” an exclusive provider or a company appointed directly by Netflix. It does not identify any specific model as an on-screen car. The full procurement chain has not been made public, and it should not be reconstructed from assumptions.

The operational role is still meaningful. Production vehicle supply requires more than a retail booking: the correct car has to be available for call-sheet windows, prepared consistently, delivered to the correct unit, handed to an authorised driver, documented for condition and insurance, collected after wrap and supported when the plan changes. Accrocar describes itself as a high-end automotive concierge and says it does not ordinarily publish named clients.

Why Morocco works for international productions

Morocco combines varied landscapes, experienced crews and an established institutional framework. A project can move between a capital, historic quarters, coast, mountains and pre-Saharan terrain while remaining in one national production system. Local producers translate creative requirements into permits, crews, equipment, transport, accommodation, security and workable schedules.

The Moroccan Cinematographic Centre manages foreign-production requirements and publishes the conditions for its support programme. Eligible local expenditure can receive a rebate of up to 30% when all criteria are met. That maximum rate describes the national scheme; it is not evidence that The Gentlemen received a specific amount. No project budget or rebate figure should be inferred from the headline percentage.

The economic footprint is broader than cameras and actors. A series can engage location managers, drivers, camera and lighting crews, set builders, costume teams, interpreters, hotels, caterers, security providers and rental companies. A Rabat-to-Erfoud move adds intercity planning, vehicle maintenance, dust protection, storage and contingency capacity. Local experience becomes part of the creative result because it keeps the unit working.

What remains unknown

Netflix has not announced the Season 3 release date. It has not published a detailed synopsis, episode count, Moroccan schedule, set addresses or a cast-by-country breakdown. The production has not issued a public list of every Moroccan vendor.

At the time of this update, there is no robust public confirmation for filming in Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Merzouga, Aït Benhaddou or another city beyond the reported Rabat and Erfoud references. There is no official identification of a palace, hotel or restaurant as a set. There is no public proof that every new cast member worked in Morocco. There is no confirmed Rolls-Royce or Bentley model attached to an episode.

Unknown does not mean false. Productions keep locations, hours, story details and procurement private for security and commercial reasons. It means the information should remain unclaimed until a source with direct knowledge makes it public.

How this guide will evaluate future updates

A production story changes quickly, but a useful reference should not rewrite its history every time a social post appears. A future location will be added as official only when Netflix, Moonage, a relevant Moroccan authority or another directly responsible organisation names it. A location reported by an established publication will be labelled as reported and linked to the article. A supplier claim will be attributed to the supplier and limited to that company’s own work.

The same method applies to photographs. Promotional stills from an earlier season can illustrate the programme’s established visual identity, but they cannot document the Morocco unit. A licensed photograph of Rabat or Erfoud can explain geography, but it cannot identify a camera position. A fleet photograph can demonstrate vehicle availability, but it cannot establish use in an episode. Captions on this cluster state those limits because image search often strips pictures from the paragraphs that originally qualified them.

Dates are also part of the evidence. The original publication date remains October 30, 2026. A future dateModified change will correspond to a real addition such as a Netflix release announcement, a newly confirmed location, an official trailer or a documented production credit. Minor typography changes will not be presented as editorial freshness. The update log will record material revisions so readers and search engines can see what actually changed.

Finally, corrections take priority over preserving a claim. If a source retracts a location, the page will identify the correction rather than silently leaving the older wording in place. If the released season shows a location that was not publicly known during production, it can be added after broadcast with the new evidence and date. This approach is slower than filling every gap with speculation, but it produces a guide that remains useful after the news cycle has ended.

Source links will point to the most specific available page rather than a generic homepage. If an official page becomes unavailable, an archived or replacement first-party record will be preferred over an unsourced summary. Material corrections will retain enough context for readers to understand why the wording changed.
