Ray Winstone is developing a new TV show based in 1970s London
Ray Winstone is developing his own TV series. The 68-year-old British actor has teamed up with one of the creatives on 'The Departed' to create a new show which is set in London in the 1970s and carries on in the UK capital through the decades focusing on the dark underbelly of the city. In an interview with iFL TV, he spilled: 'I'm working on something with an old mate of mine; we worked together years ago on 'The Departed'. "We've put together a series about London from the '70s, all the way through up to today.' Before Ray starts filming that he is reprising his role as Bobby Glass in Guy Ritchie's Netflix crime drama 'The Gentlemen', which also stars Theo James and Kaya Scodelario. Production on the follow-up series has begun and Ray is looking forward to getting stuck into his scenes after enjoying a break from acting. He said: 'I'm looking forward to getting back into the graft. 'Bobby Glass is back. I'm still in the prison, still nicked, but that's the best place for him. 'It's nice because I can come in and out and that way my daughter runs the business. It's a good dynamic. "I've got three scripts. I think we're moving into the legalisation of cannabis and all that stuff. 'To be honest, I haven't seen the rest of the script so I don't know where the journey goes. In a way, it's a good thing. I don't mind that with this, because some of it is all over the place. 'And then Guy edits it and puts it all together and it becomes a story. It kind of worked that way last time.' 'The Gentlemen' TV series is based on Guy's 2019 film of the same name. But Ray has never watched the crime comedy film - which starred Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant, among others - because he didn't want his own performance to be influenced by that cast and story. He said: "I'll probably watch that after I finish. 'You want to bring your own mark to it." Joining the cast of 'The Gentlemen' Series 2 is Hugh Bonneville who will be portraying a new crook. The first series of 'The Gentlemen' became one of Netflix's most-watched shows when it was released in 2024 and the new instalment is set to be released on the streaming service in early 2026. The first season saw Theo's character Eddie Horniman become the new Duke of Halstead after his father's death. Unbeknown to him initially, he also inherits an illegal cannabis farm that is located underneath his family's estate and run by the ruthless Susie Glass (Scodelario) with her crime boss father Bobby Glass (Winstone).
