Prime Video and MGM greenlight 'Capital' for modern London
Expanding his portfolio, Guy Ritchie is set to launch a new series titled Capital, backed by Prime Video and MGM. Guy Ritchie will take a hands-on approach to this project, serving as the co-creeator, writer, director, and executive producer.
Capital will return to the director's roots by exploring the criminal underworld of modern London. This project aims to replicate the raw energy and complex character dynamics that defined the early cinematic successes of Guy Ritchie.
From 'Lock, Stock' to the streaming era's blurred boundaries
This transition is part of a larger industry shift where the distinction between cinema and television is fading. Guy Ritchie's move from iconic films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000) to streaming reflects a trend of top-tier directors seeking the creative freedom and reach of digital platforms.
Having previously helmed massive blockbusters such as the Sherlock Holmes franchise and the live-action Aladdin, Guy Ritchie is now applying that cinematic scale to a serialized format. this allows for deeper world-building, as seen in The Gentlemen (2024),which expanded the universe of his 2019 film through new characters and narratives.
The missing timeline for 'Young Sherlock' and platform specificcs
Despite the broad success of these projects, certain details remain unconfirmed. While the report mentions that MobLand and The Gentlemen return in 2026, there is no specific return date provided for the second season of Young Sherlock.
Additionally, while the source notes that Guy Ritchie produces content for Netflix, Prime Video, and Paramount+, it does not explicitly assign each of the three renewed series to a specific platform. It remains unclear which of these services will host the future installments of Young Sherlock.
