The Associate, which is also lining up Oscar winner Helen Mirren, centres on a family of elite London fixers and follows two generations of gangsters, according to Deadline.
The Paramount+ show focuses on the businesses they run, their complex relationships, and a dangerous and handsome fixer called Harry (Hardy), who they call upon to sort their problems.
The description further teases family fortunes and reputations at risk, unlikely alliances and betrayal, with the nature of the family’s business meaning no guarantee of what’s around the corner.
Brosnan and Mirren are set to play the family’s patriarch and matriarch, and the show will mark a reunion for the pair following their roles in Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club.
The latter project is adapted from Richard Osman’s bestselling novel, with the author recently teasing when audiences can expect the movie version.
“Chris Columbus is editing it right now. So it should be next year, I would think,” he told Saturday Kitchen. “That’s cinemas and then, then on Netflix straight after that. So I would think next summer, next autumn? I would guess, but I don’t know for sure.”
Meanwhile, Hardy recently signed on to star in crime thriller Blood On Snow, which will co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
The movie has been adapted by Jo Nesbø, who wrote the original book, and follows a hitman who is targeted by his boss after he is ordered to do a job that goes against his morals.
