Dust off your best Irish accents. Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren are all set to star in Paramount+ and Guy Ritchie’s new crime drama series (as yet untitled).
Production is underway on the project, destined to land at Paramount+ in 2025, and featuring the trio as series regulars.
Described as a global crime series, the action focuses on 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 very successful Irish crime family based out of London for whom Harry works. Mirren will play “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 honored 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 firepower on and off the screen in this new Guy Ritchie crime series will deliver exactly what audiences expect from Paramount + with Showtime: high-caliber acting, high-impact storylines, and high-level production from some of the best in the business,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President of programming for 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.
