Ray Winstone to lead Prime Video's new action-comedy Danger Money

He'll play a former SAS operative haunted by a botched mission in the ‘90s!

Prime Video has announced Danger Money, a new six-part action-comedy written and created by David Crow and Oliver Maltman and starring Ray Winstone as former SAS operative Alan 'Razor' Sharp.

Described as a high-octane action-comedy, Danger Money follows Razor as he's haunted by a botched mission in the ‘90s that left his reputation in tatters and his best friend dead.

Decades later, Razor, still plagued by guilt and desperate to rebuild a relationship with his daughter, is pulled back into the world that he’d left behind when an old friend resurfaces with a job too good to refuse.

Reluctantly drawn into one last job, Razor travels to Italy, only for events to spiral. Forced on the run with a motley crew made up of his impulsive ‘nephew’ Jamaal and secretive tag-along Roxy, he is thrust into a violent conspiracy involving hidden war spoils, corrupt institutions and powerful enemies determined to keep the past buried.

As Razor fights to clear his name and protect those closest to him, he must confront the truth behind the mission that destroyed his life because the money isn’t the only thing waiting to be uncovered.

Ahead of starring in Danger Money, Ray Winstone said "They told me the character was a bit of a scrapper, surly and getting on a bit. I told them it doesn’t ring any bells, but I like a challenge. In all seriousness, it’s everything that I love because beneath the action, laughs and the hardman antics, there’s a lot of heart, soul and depth to this script as any great characters and shows have."

Made by Two Brothers Pictures in association with All3Media International, Danger Money is written and created by David Crow and Oliver Maltman, who will write episodes 1, 2 and 6, Ryan O'Sullivan and Matilda Wnek will write episode 5, and Ian Hollands will write episodes 3 and 4 as well as serving as a co-EP. And the show's casting director is Aisha Bywaters

Danger Money is executive produced by David Crow and Oliver Maltman alongside Harry and Jack Williams, Sarah Hammond, Alex Mercer and Katie Churchill for Two Brothers.

Speaking about Danger Money, Two Brothers Pictures founders and Managing Directors, Jack and Harry Williams added "David and Oliver have conjured up something brilliant in Danger Money. We’re so excited to bring it to the screen with Prime Video and the legend that is Ray Winstone."

To which writers and creators, David Crow and Oliver Maltman, jointly added "We’re thrilled to be bringing Danger Money to Amazon audiences, with screen icon Ray Winstone as the unforgettable Razor Sharp - a new breed of hero, whose Special Forces training and thirst for justice is somewhat hampered by his soaring blood pressure and sciatic spasms. We couldn’t think of a better home for the show or a more perfect team than Two Brothers to bring it to life."

Danger Money will air on Prime Video
