Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Paramount+, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios announced Wednesday that they have hired Guy Ritchie to direct and executive produce a Ray Donovan spinoff. The new show will be The Donovans.

Ronan Bennett will write all 10 episodes and executive produce with Ritchie. Ritchie's adaptation of his own film, The Gentlemen, premieres on Netflix March 7.

Set in Europe, The Donovans will be a London-based family of fixers. The original Showtime series was set in Los Angeles.
