The show, titled “Guy Ritchie’s Production,” is overseen by the esteemed Guy Ritchie and hails from award-winning production company, Lightbox Media. As per its description, it promises to be an enthralling exploration into the world of true crime, akin to a captivating heist story.

In the year 2000, a gang of criminals from Southeast London is planning an incredibly bold and daring heist.

My intention: I’ll seize the opportunity of a bright day to utilize a bulldozer in a daring break-in at the Millennium Dome, making off with the world’s second largest flawless diamond, valued at an astonishing £350 million. My escape route will be by speedboat along the Thames.

“There’s just one tiny problem: the Flying Squad are watching.”

The narrative unfolds from the perspectives of the Southeast London gang involved in the heist, as well as the officers leading the biggest Flying Squad operation ever, who successfully thwarted their actions.

Currently, Ritchie is basking in a series of high-profile roles. As an executive producer for The Diamond Heist, he’s also introducing a fresh wave of crime dramas, including MobLand, Wife & Dog, with the eagerly awaited second season of The Gentlemen on the horizon.

Last year, it was disclosed that Ritchie is going to direct a fresh Sherlock Holmes TV series.
