Pierce Brosnan continues to make waves in the entertainment industry, with his latest venture being a starring role in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming gangster drama series for Paramount+. This high-profile project marks another significant addition to Brosnan’s impressive roster of recent work.
In recent years, Brosnan has maintained a strong presence in both film and television. He starred in the musical sequel MAMMA MIA HERE WE GO AGAIN (2018), reprising his role from the 2008 hit. He also took on the role of Eli McCullough in the western drama series THE SON (2017-2019), showcasing his ability to lead a TV series.
Brosnan’s film career has remained active, with notable appearances in THE FOREIGNER (2017) alongside Jackie Chan, and THE MISFITS (2021), an action heist film. He also starred in the fantasy comedy CINDERELLA (2021), playing King Rowan.
The actor’s involvement in Ritchie’s new series, which was initially developed as a spinoff of RAY DONOVAN but has since been reworked into a standalone project, demonstrates Brosnan’s continued appeal in high-caliber productions. The series, focusing on generations of gangsters and their complex relationships, promises to be a compelling addition to Brosnan’s filmography.
This new role aligns with Brosnan’s track record of choosing diverse and intriguing projects, solidifying his status as a versatile and in-demand actor well into his career. As he joins forces with acclaimed filmmaker Guy Ritchie and writer Ronan Bennett, audiences can anticipate another captivating performance from the veteran star.
