Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan have joined the cast of Guy Ritchie’s Paramount+ series.
Previously developed as ‘The Donovans,’ a spin-off of the Showtime series ‘Ray Donovan,’ which starred Liev Schreiber, the series will now be a stand-alone project with no ties to the franchise.
The series will centre around two warring families based in London whose enterprises stretch across the globe and the fiercely loyal ‘fixer’ charged with protecting one of them at all costs.

Hardy takes on the role of Harry Da Souza, described as “a professional conciliator on behalf of the Harrigan family.” Brosnan will play Conrad Harrigan, “the head of a very successful Irish crime family based out of London for whom Harry works.” Mirren will play Maeve Harrigan, Conrad’s wife and the Harrigan family matriarch.
Ronan Bennett will pen the series and Ritchie will direct. Both serve as executive producers, alongside Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, David C. Glasser, Jez Butterworth, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Tom Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari.
Hardy and Ritchie reunite after they worked together on the 2008 film ‘RocknRolla.’ Production is currently underway in London, the series is slated for a 2025 release.
