A new organised crime series from Guy Ritchie, starring Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren, has just announced some additions to its impressive ensemble cast.

Digital Spy can exclusively reveal that joining the previously announced names are Top Boy's Geoff Bell, Lisa Dwan (Bloodlands, Blackshore), Daniel Betts (Gentleman Jack) and Emily Barber (Industry).

The drama will centre on two warring families whose criminal enterprises stretch across the globe. Hardy is set to play the fiercely loyal "fixer", charged with protecting one of the powerful household gangs at all costs.

We also have some new character details, with Bell playing the formidable leader of an up-and-coming south London gang and Betts taking the role of the eldest son of Mirren's character Maeve (believed to be the matriarch of one of the crime families).

The new Guy Ritchie project has been described as "electrifying", and is currently filming in London.

What to Read Next

As was previously revealed, Hardy and Mirren will also be joined by Pierce Brosnan (Mamma Mia!), Joanne Froggatt (Liar), Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon), Mandeep Dhillon (After Life), Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy), Lara Pulver (The Split) and Anson Boon (1917).

The series will debut globally on Paramount+ at some point in 2025, with a more exact release window not yet confirmed.

Meanwhile, Tom Hardy has another new TV project on the way, having been announced as the narrator of a three-part documentary called Special Forces: Most Daring Missions, which is also coming to Paramount+.

The new Guy Ritchie project will arrive on Paramount+ in 2025.
