The Star of Guy Ritchie’s Best TV Series Is Bringing Her 2019 Creature Feature to Paramount+



[

A filmmaker known mostly for his work on the big screen, Guy Ritchie has also lent his directorial prowess to some TV projects, notably the recent hit series MobLand. But his best TV work so far came back in 2024 as he evolved his hugely popular 2019 movie The Gentlemen into a must-watch TV series on Netflix. Accumulating over 76 million views and ranking as one of Netflix’s top-watched English-language shows of that year, there was no surprise when the laugh-a-minute, punch-packing crime series was greenlit for a second installment.

This second season of The Gentlemen is set to hit Netflix on September 3, with Theo James‘ (The White Lotus) Eddie Horniman and Kaya Scodelario‘s (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) Susie Glass set to take their criminal empire to Italy, only to find Italian crime boss Marco Moretti (Sergio Castellitto) in their way. There is no doubt that The Gentlemen Season 2 is one of the most hotly anticipated returning shows of 2026, and Paramount+ has just acquired the perfect way to get you in the mood.

As of August 1, you can stream The Gentlemen star Scodelario’s 2019 survival thriller Crawl on Paramount+. The film stars the Skins favorite alongside Barry Pepper of Saving Private Ryan fame, as she decides to stay during a Category 5 hurricane in Florida to search for her missing father. Alexandre Aja, the name behind the French slasher film High Tension and the divisive Piranha 3D, directed Crawl, which was co-produced by horror legend Sam Raimi. Dubbed “terrifying,” “exciting,” and “action-packed” by critics, this clever creature feature was a sleeper success when it first released and regularly finds itself in the streaming charts.



















Collider Exclusive · Horror Survival Quiz
Which Horror Villain Do You Have the Best Chance of Surviving?
Jason Voorhees · Michael Myers · Freddy Krueger · Pennywise · Chucky

Five killers. Five completely different ways to die — if you’re not smart enough, fast enough, or self-aware enough to avoid it. Only one of them is the villain your particular set of instincts gives you a fighting chance against. Eight questions will figure out which one.

🏕️Jason

🔪Michael

💤Freddy

🎈Pennywise

🪆Chucky

01

Something feels wrong. You can’t explain it — you just know. What do you do?
First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty.





02

Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong?
Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply.





03

What is your most reliable survival asset?
Every survivor has a quality the villain didn’t account for. What’s yours?





04

What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through?
Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it.





05

You’re with a group when things start going wrong. What’s your role?
Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn’t.





06

What’s the horror movie mistake you’re most likely to make?
Honest self-assessment is a survival skill. Denial is not.





07

What’s your best weapon against something that can’t be stopped by conventional means?
Every horror villain has a weakness. The survivors are always the ones who find it.





08

It’s the final scene. You’re the last one standing. How did you make it?
The final survivor always has a reason. What’s yours?





Your Survival Odds Have Been Calculated
Your Best Chance Is Against…

Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.


Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th

Jason Voorhees

Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.

  • He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
  • Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
  • The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
  • You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.


Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween

Michael Myers

Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.

  • But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
  • Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
  • Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
  • You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.


Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street

Freddy Krueger

Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.

  • You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
  • The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
  • Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
  • Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.


Derry, Maine · It

Pennywise

Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.

  • The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
  • You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
  • That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
  • It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.


Chicago · Child’s Play

Chucky

Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.

  • You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
  • Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
  • Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
  • Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.

How Much Did ‘Crawl’ Make at the Box Office?

So Crawl was a quiet hit with critics and audiences when it debuted in 2019, but could that translate to box office success? The answer is yes, with the movie turning a reported budget of $17 million into an impressive $91.7 million worldwide, split between a domestic haul of $39 million and a further $52.7 million from overseas markets. The movie opened at #3 at the North American box office, falling short of the top spot because of the huge blockbusters Toy Story 4 and Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Crawl is streaming on Paramount+ this August. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
