Guy Ritchie is busy these days as he released The Gentlemen in January, expected to release his armored car thriller Wrath of Man starring Jason Statham in the near future, and is about to return to the spy genre with his Statham action flick Five Years filming this fall in Europe.
Deadline has learned that Ritchie is looking to turn his film The Gentlemen into a series for Miramax TV, pointing out that the project originally was a television pitch before it pivoted to a feature film adaption. Adding that Guy will both write and direct the show.
Miramax TV is developing The Gentlemen, a TV series based on the studio’s successful action-comedy feature that was written and directed by Guy Ritchie and starred Matthew McConaughey. Ritchie will write and direct the series, which he will executive produce alongside Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies, his fellow producers on the movie.
The British gangster film starred Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell, Michelle Dockery, and Hugh Grant, however, it’s unknown if that cast will reprise their roles for the series.
