With the most powerful clients in Europe, Guy Ritchie’s The Associate will see family fortunes and reputations at risk, odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner; and while the family might be London’s most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what’s in store tomorrow.
The one-hour drama from Showtime/MTV Studios and 101 Studios follows two generations of gangsters, the businesses they run, the complex relationships they weave, and the man they call upon to fix their problems.
Hardy is up for the role of Harry, the fixer, a man who is as dangerous as he is handsome. Mirren and Brosnan would star as the crime family’s matriarch and patriarch, respectively, we hear.
Hardy is set to reunite with his RocknRolla director Ritchie in this new project. Guy Ritchie’s The Associate is Mirren’s follow-up to Taylor Sheridan’s 1923, which recently concluded shooting its second and final season; both shows hail from 101 Studios and MTV Studios. Mirren and Brosnan co-starred in Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club which wrapped shooting early last month.
Ritchie, who will direct Guy Ritchie’s The Associate, executive produces with series writer Ronan Bennett, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin and Ivan Atkinson.
