When the names Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan pop up together, you know something big is brewing. In an exciting move for fans of gangster dramas, the three iconic actors are reportedly in final talks to star in Guy Ritchie's latest project, The Associate. This upcoming series for Paramount+ promises to be a hard-hitting crime drama that will grip audiences from the start.
Originally, The Associate was meant to be a spin-off of Ray Donovan, Showtime's hit crime drama about a family of fixers. However, the show has now evolved into a completely independent series, shedding any direct connection to the Ray Donovan universe. But one important element remains: Irish writer Ronan Bennett, who's known for his work on Netflix's Top Boy and Michael Mann's Public Enemies, is on board to write all ten episodes.
With Guy Ritchie directing and the heavyweight trio of Hardy, Mirren, and Brosnan, this series has the potential to blend intense character dynamics with Ritchie's signature style. After his successful adaptation of The Gentlemen into a Netflix series and the upcoming The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Ritchie's latest project has big expectations.
Backing the series are major players like Showtime, MTV Studios, and 101 Studios, giving this show all the right elements to be a hit. With no official release date announced yet, fans are eagerly awaiting more details. Could The Associate be the next big thing in crime TV?
