The trio are in final negotiations to star in a new Paramount+ show called The Associate, according to Deadline.
The drama series is set to follow 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 set for the role of a fixer by the name Harry while Mirren and Brosnan will star as the crime family’s matriarch and patriarch, respectively.
Ritchie will direct The Associate and executive produce with series writer Ronan Bennett, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin and Ivan Atkinson.
His most recent work was the spy action comedy The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare which was released on Prime Video over the summer.
The film tells a fictionalised version of Operation Postmaster, a British special operation during the Second World War that was tasked with sabotaging Nazi plans and supporting resistance movements in overseas territories.
Henry Cavill stars in the lead role of Gus March-Phillips, one of the leading British spies of the era, with Rory Kinnear playing Churchill. Cary Elwes, Alex Pettyfer, Henry Golding and Eiza Gonzalez co-star.
It is a prolific period for Ritchie, with Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre and The Covenant, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, both arriving within the last year. He also debuted a TV spin-off of The Gentlemen on Netflix in March.
