Guy Ritchie is working at such a prolific pace it’s tough to keep track of everything he’s got going on. With two films in post-production, In the Grey and Fountain of Youth, he’s also developing stuff for TV, like a second season of The Gentlemen, a new Young Sherlock series, and The Associate, which began life as a Ray Donovan spinoff.
The connection to Showtime’s Ray Donovan is no longer the case, but the show trucks along at Paramount+. Deadline reports that Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan are in final talks to join The Associate, which follows a London-based family of criminal fixers and their dangerous clientele.
Hardy takes the lead role as Harry, with Mirren and Brosnan as the heads of the family. This will be Hardy’s reunion with Ritchie after the 2008 film RocknRolla. His last TV series was the popular but short-lived Taboo. Of course, he’ll be seen next in Venom: The Last Dance later this month. Mirren has been busy on the small screen as the star of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone spinoff, 1923. Brosnan will forever be known as James Bond, and will be seen next in Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club.
So it could be a jam-packed 2025 for Ritchie if his two movies and The Associate all arrive relatively soon.
