MOST DARING MISSIONS: TOM HARDY TO NARRATE NEW PARAMOUNT+ FACTUAL SERIES

Paramount+ UK have commissioned new three-part factual series Special Forces: Most Daring Missions, narrated by Tom Hardy. Each episode will "celebrate a different real life assignment undertaken by elite military force."

Federico Ruiz, Commissioning Editor, Factual and Non-Scripted, at Paramount UK said: "We are really excited to have one of Hollywood’s biggest actors, and one of Britain’s greatest exports, narrating this brand new series. When you watch their extraordinary stories, it’s clear that the real-life exploits and bravery of these soldiers would put most silver screen superheroes to shame."

Soho Studios founder Ian Lamarra commented: "It feels like a hugely important time in the market to be producing internationally appealing shows for a streamer. This brand has so much potential for further series, we can look at Navy Seals, the Marine Corps, Green Berets etc. Tom Hardy is the perfect narrator for this series. He is incredibly knowledgeable, absolutely passionate and respectful of the subject with his voice adding a really premium flavour."

Alan Clements, Managing-Director at Two Rivers Media said : "Two Rivers Media is thrilled to be co-producing this high-adrenaline action series for Paramount + and the international market and it represents a key step on our path to becoming a world-class premium documentary producer".

More details will be announced in due course.
