Guy Ritchie kicks off new gangster series with Tom Hardy

In recent weeks, a new gangster television series produced by Paramount+ has officially begun filming in London, starring Tom Hardy and directed by the acclaimed British filmmaker Guy Ritchie. The series, previously known as The Associate, has undergone a title change as production started. Ritchie is known for his blockbuster hits and has gained significant attention for his successful transition into streaming TV. The new series will see Hardy playing Harry Da Souza, who serves as a fixer for the Harrigan crime family, played by Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. The story promises a gripping narrative revolving around two rival families engaged in organized crime, showcasing their powerful and far-reaching enterprises. This ambitious project represents the latest collaboration between Ritchie and Hardy, both of whom are well-respected figures in the film industry, adding further intrigue to the series. The announcement of the cast and creative team has generated excitement among fans, especially after Ritchie's recent success with his Netflix spin-off of The Gentlemen, which was well-received and renewed for a second season. In addition to this new series, Ritchie has several other film projects in development, including works with high-profile actors like Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Krasinski, and Natalie Portman. As filming progresses, anticipation will build around whether this series will reach similar heights as Ritchie's past successful projects, reinforcing his reputation as one of Britain's top contemporary directors.
