Since its release in 2000, Jonathan Glazer’s Sexy Beast has become something of a cult classic. Now, the story of Gal and Don is back with a much-anticipated prequel series on Paramount+.

The original crime thriller followed Gal Dove (Ray Winstone), an ex-gangster who, after serving time, has settled down in a beautiful Spanish villa with his wife, DeeDee (Amanda Redman). However, when Don (Ben Kingsley), his old partner, shows up, he gets dragged back into the business.

If you have ever wondered How did Gal and Don get involved in east London’s crime scene, anyway, the new Paramount+ series promises to answer all of your questions. With an all-star cast featuring James McArdle, Sarah Greene, Tamsin Greig and Eliza Bennett, the eight-part series takes us back to the 90s, when Gal, Don and DeeDee all met and made their first steps into a life of crime.

Since dropping last week, Sexy Beast has already captivated both fans of the original and newcomers to Glazer’s film. Here’s everything to know about the series.
