New Guy Ritchie Crime Series Adds Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber
A Guy Ritchie crime series in production for Paramount+ with Showtime has added Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber to its ensemble cast.
The series already has Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Paddy Considine as leads. The untitled project is a global crime show 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.
Bell will play Richie, leader of and up-and-coming south London Stevenson gang, while Betts will perform the role of Brendan, Conrad (Brosnan) and Maeve’s (Mirren) oldest son. Dwan will play O’Hara, the Harrigan family lawyer and Barber is Alice, a friend of Jan, a role filled by the previously announced Joanne Froggatt.
Other earlier-announced cast members include Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillonand Jasmine Jobson. The new Guy Ritchie project is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios and will debut in 2025 globally on Paramount+.
The series is executive produced by Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, David C. Glasser, Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari.
The Guy Ritchie project comes in the wake of Paramount+ ordering a spinoff of its crime drama Ray Donovan that was to be directed and executive produced by Ritchie. Titled The Donovans, the new series was to be “loosely based” on the successful series that ran for seven seasons on Showtime and starred Liev Schreiber as a professional “fixer” in Los Angeles.
But the Guy Ritchie crime series, thought to have an earlier title The Associate and set in the U.K., has now become a stand-alone series not tied to The Donovans.
