Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan Officially Join Guy Ritchie Series at Paramount+

variety.com:

UPDATED: Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan have officially signed on to star in the Paramount+ series from Guy Ritchie and Ronan Bennett.

It was previously reported that the trio were in final negotiations to join the show. The project had initially been developed with the title “The Donovans,” with plans to function as an across-the-pond spin-off of the Showtime series “Ray Donovan,” which was led by Liev Schreiber for seven seasons and a film adaptation.

However, it has been reworked into a standalone series with no connections to that franchise. It was also previously reported that it was filming under the working title “The Associate,” but that is no longer the case.

Production is now underway in London, with the untitled show slated to debut in 2025 on Paramount+ with Showtime. The role reunites Hardy and Ritchie, who previously worked together on the 2008 film “RocknRolla.” It also keeps Mirren in business with Paramount, as she currently stars in Taylor Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” prequel “1923.” The official series description states that the show is “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, described as “a professional conciliator on behalf of the Harrigan family.” 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,”.
