Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, expressed his excitement about the project, praising the talent involved and the creative team led by Guy Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, and Ronan Bennett.
The one-hour gangster drama is a collaboration between Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and a team of seasoned producers and creatives. The series is written by Ronan Bennett, with Guy Ritchie serving as director and executive producer.
Paramount+ executive vice president of programming Jeff Grossman highlighted the high-caliber acting, compelling storylines, and top-notch production values that viewers can expect from the upcoming series.
Ronan Bennett, known for creating the acclaimed series “Top Boy” and writing several novels and screenplays, brings his expertise to this new project.

With a powerhouse cast and a talented creative team behind the scenes, this new Paramount+ series is sure to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline and exceptional performances.
