Guy Ritchie has recently begun production on a new global crime series for Paramount+ with Tom Hardy (Venom: The Last Dance) set to star alongside Pierce Brosnan (Die Another Day) and Helen Mirren (The Queen) set as series regulars.
The new Guy Ritchie Project is an electrifying, new global organized crime series centred 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, with Brosnan as “Conrad Harrigan,” the head of a very successful Irish crime family based out of London for whom Harry works, and Mirren playing “Maeve Harrigan,” Conrad’s wife and the Harrigan family matriarch.
Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren are masters at their craft and we are honoured to have them lead the cast for Guy Richie’s new global, original series,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO of SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios. “Guy, Jez Butterworth and Ronan Bennett’s 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+”
The series is executive produced by Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, David C. Glasser, Guy Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Tom Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari. The drama was commissioned by Paramount+ and Produced in Association with Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
“The firepower on and off the screen in this new Guy Ritchie crime series will deliver exactly what audiences expect from Paramount + with Showtime: high-calibre acting, high-impact storylines, and high-level production from some of the best in the business,” adds Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President of programming for Paramount+.
