Guy Ritchie’s legendary movie Snatch is being turned into a TV series

The iconic film from 2000 is being made into a 10-part TV series.

“Blagged? Speak English to me, Tony. I thought this country spawned the f*cking language, and so far nobody seems to speak it.”

Yeah, we have just started this article with a quote directly from the movie because that’s how much we love Snatch (as seen in our Film Flashback), and now it appears as though a TV series spin-off is about to be made.

Sony plan to produce the series through the streaming service Crackle, with the idea influenced by the hugely successful TV adaptation of Fargo; the Coen brothers’ motion picture.

Although a release date is yet to be confirmed, the show looks to follow a group of young, small-time criminals who find themselves suddenly involved in organised crime.

To be fair, if it contains scenes akin to the brilliant film, we’ll be happy as Brick Top sipping on a nice cup of tea.
