MobLand Starring Tom Hardy Greenlit for Second Season

Fans craving more of Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan’s gripping crime saga, or eager for another dose of Helen Mirren’s commanding presence? Paramount+ has officially confirmed MobLand will return for Season 2.

The streaming platform reports that 26 million viewers have tuned into the series since its March 30 debut, making the renewal an easy choice, especially with its stellar cast. Paramount+ notes that MobLand ranks as the second most-watched original series on its platform.

Joining Hardy, Brosnan, and Mirren are House of the Dragon’s Paddy Considine and Downton Abbey’s Joanne Froggatt. The series centers on Hardy’s Harry Da Souza, a fixer working for Brosnan’s Conrad Harrigan and his London crime syndicate. The show’s official synopsis describes it as a tale of “two generations of gangsters, their enterprises, the connections they forge, and the troubleshooter they rely on to resolve their issues.”

“Boasting over 26 million viewers and growing, MobLand has emerged as a global hit, fueled by the creative genius of producers Guy Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, and David C. Glasser, and elevated by the electrifying performances of Tom, Pierce, and Helen,” said Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount and president of Showtime/MTV Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to approve a second season of this worldwide sensation, which has topped charts in the UK and dominated both domestic and international markets.”

Season 1 holds a strong 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is currently available to stream, though a premiere date for Season 2 has yet to be announced.

In May, while discussing MobLand, Hardy shared that his work on projects like Venom, Mad Max: Fury Road, and The Dark Knight Rises has taken a significant physical toll as he nears his 50s.

“I’ve had two knee surgeries, a herniated disc in my back, and sciatica,” the 47-year-old Hardy disclosed.

“And then there’s... what’s it called? Plantar fasciitis? Where did that come from? Why? And I’ve torn a tendon in my hip, too. It feels like everything’s falling apart, and it’s not going to improve.”
