Guy Ritchie Crime Drama Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren on Track for 2025 Premiere

Production is underway in London on Guy Ritchie’s untitled global crime drama (fka The Associates) for Paramount+ With Showtime, starring Tom Hardy (Peaky Blinders), Pierce Brosnan (Remington Steele) and Helen Mirren (1923).

When first announced in October, the story was that Paramount+’s announced Ray Donovan spinoff had morphed into the aforementioned series, which would no longer be connected to the #7SeasonsAndAMovie Showtime drama.

A 2025 U.S. premiere date is planned.

Described as “an electrifying, new 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,” the Paramount+ With Showtime drama stars Hardy as Harry Da Souza, a professional conciliator on behalf of the Harrigan family.

Brosnan in turn will play Conrad Harrigan, the head of said successful crime family based out of London for whom Harry works, while Mirren will fill the role of 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+”

In February, Paramount+ had ordered 10 episodes of The Donovans, an hour-long drama “loosely based” on Showtime’s Liev Schreiber-starring Ray Donovan series, though no one from Ray Donovan‘s cast or creative team was to be involved in the offshoot. Instead, Ritchie was attached to the new project as an executive producer/director, while Irish novelist/screenwriter Ronan Bennett was slated to write all 10 episodes.

Ray Donovan ran for seven seasons and one wrap-up movie on Showtime.
