Tom Hardy has landed his next UK TV project narrating a new streaming series.
The Venom actor will lend his vocal talents to Paramount+’s three-part documentary Special Forces: Most Daring Missions, and is also on board as an executive producer.
The show will focus on real-life assignments conducted by elite military forces, and mainly follows the SAS and its operations during notable incidents, including the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege.

“We are really excited to have one of Hollywood’s biggest actors, and one of Britain’s greatest exports, narrating this brand new series,” said Paramount+’s commissioning editor, factual and non-scripted, Federico Ruiz (via Deadline).
“When you watch their extraordinary stories, it’s clear that the real-life exploits and bravery of these soldiers would put most silver-screen superheroes to shame.”
