It would be one hell of a cast if it gets made
Guy Ritchie has a new gangster series in the pipeline, and if he gets everyone he wants for it, then there’s going to be a star-studded cast.
When he makes a TV show it seems to be a spin-off of something he’s already made a film about.
Ritchie is currently working on Young Sherlock for Prime Video, you’ll remember he directed Sherlock Holmes (2009) and the sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011).
Now, according to Deadline he’s got another TV series in the works. This time for Paramount+ and going back to his gangster genre roots.

They report that negotiations are in place for the likes of Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren to star in a Guy Ritchie series called The Associate.
In the series if Hardy was cast he’d supposedly have the role of a bloke called Harry, a fixer who sorts out people’s problems. Deadline claim they’re hearing that Brosnan and Mirren would be likely culprits for the big cheeses at the top of a crime family.
Hardy worked with Guy Ritchie before on the 2008 movie; RocknRolla, whereas Brosnan and Mirren haven’t worked for the director. They have however worked together previously.
Recently, they’ve been filming The Thursday Murder Club, and neither is any stranger to the sort of action and gangster fare that Guy Ritchie is famous for serving up to audiences.
In fact, they were in a classic gangster film together even if they didn’t get to share much of any screentime back in 1980 movie The Long Good Friday and Mirren has recently appeared in a handful of movies in the Fast & Furious franchise.

If all the pieces fall into place for The Associate then you can expect one hell of a cast. The project itself is still in the casting stage so it’ll be quite a while before you could expect to watch it.
Guy Ritchie has had a pretty busy year thus far, what with the release of The Gentlemen series and his World War Two movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
The movie stars Henry Cavill as the leader of a group of Nazi hunters and is based on a true story which ended up providing some of the inspiration for none other than James Bond himself.
