Directed by Guy Ritchie, the Brad Pitt and Jason Statham film turned a very healthy product for Sony. It would seem that the company still views Snatch as a viable property, as evidenced by the fact that they green-lit the show for Crackle.

Joining Grint on the series are Fear The Walking Dead‘s Dougray Scott and Wicked City‘s Ed Westwick, with Nick Renton expected to direct:

Grint will play the dynamic, frustratingly chaotic and utterly posh con man, Charlie Cavendish. Scott plays Vic Hill, who continues the con game from inside prison; Westwick plays night club owner Sonny Castillo.

Production on the 10-episode first season begins next week in Manchester, England. The series will premiere in 2017. Alex De Rakoff, creator and head writer, also serves as executive producer and Helen Flint produces for Little Island Productions.

Snatch is part of a growing drama series portfolio at Crackle, joining StartUp which premieres September 6, and The Art of More, which will be returning for a second season later this year.

Grint most recently was seen on Broadway opposite Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane in It’s Only a Play, and he also stars opposite Nick Frost and Don Johnson in the upcoming six-part Sky Atlantic comedy Sick Note. He is repped by Gersh, Management 360, UK’s Hamilton Hodell and Sloane Offer.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
