Guy Ritchie’s New Crime Thriller Is Already the Perfect ‘MobLand’ Replacement
Guy Ritchie has lined up a new crime series called Capital, developed for Prime Video alongside his Young Sherlock producer Rob Williams. The article frames the project as a natural successor to MobLand — the Paramount Plus crime thriller on which Ritchie directed episodes — describing Capital as a modern-day exploration of London's ruthless criminal underworld. The news matters as the latest step in Ritchie's recent pivot towards television, where he has found more consistent success than at the box office.
The piece places the announcement within a mixed run for the director. His 2026 feature In The Grey, starring Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal, struggled in cinemas and has since found a second life on VOD platforms such as Prime Video. On the small screen, however, MobLand (starring Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan) has returned after a bout of controversy and just released its Season 2 trailer, while Young Sherlock, starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin, was released as a binge in March and renewed for a second season. Capital remains in early development, with no casting yet announced.
