AGuy Ritchie crime serieswith Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren starring is in production for Paramount+ With Showtime.

The untitled projectis a global crime series centered around two warring families based in London whose enterprises stretch all corners of the globe and the fiercely loyal fixer charged with protecting one of them at all costs.

Hardy will play Harry Da Souza, a professional conciliator on behalf of the Harrigan family, while Brosnan will play Conrad Harrigan, the head of a successful Irish crime family based out of London for whom Harry works. Mirrenwill play Maeve Harrigan, Conrads wife and the Harrigan family matriarch. The seriesis produced in association with Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios. The project will debut globally in 2025 on Paramount+ and the Paramount+ with Showtime platform in the U.S.

The Guy Ritchie project comes in the wake of Paramount+ ordering a spinoff of its crime dramaRay Donovanthat was to be directed and executive produced by Ritchie. TitledThe Donovans, the new series was to be loosely based on the successful series that ran for seven seasons on Showtime and starred Liev Schreiber as a professional fixer in Los Angeles.

But the untitled Ritchie crime drama, thought to have an earlier title The Associate and set in the U.K., has now become a standalone series not tied to The Donovans property.

Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren are masters at their craft and we are honored to have them lead the cast for Guy Richies new global, original series, Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global co-CEO and president/CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios said in a statement on Wednesday.

For Ritchie, the project marks another step into the TV world following his Netflix seriesThe Gentlemen. BothGentlemenandThe Donovanshave storylines that center around Ritchies signature storytelling strength London-based crime dramas (in films likeSnatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels).

The UK-set series with Hardy, Brosnan and Mirren as series regulars is executive produced byKeith Cox, Nina L. Diaz,David C. Glasser, Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Tom Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari.

Guy, Jez Butterworth and Ronan Bennetts creative prowess, coupled with these gifted actors, is the perfect recipe for what we believe will be the next brand defining series for Showtime on Paramount+, McCarthy added.
