The story of warring crime families has historically proven to be fertile ground for TV and film, and MobLand, Guy Ritchie's star-fronted Paramount+ crime drama, has shown our appetite for it is very much still strong. And now, after a bit of behind the scenes drama (spoiler: it involved Tom Hardy), the series is returning for a phenomenal second series with everybody on board.
26 million people tuned in to see Tom Hardy as Harry da Souza, a fixer for the lawless Harrigan family – and the second instalment is set to seriously up the ante with Paramount+ teasing that we should "prepare for uncivil war". With Tom returning as Harry da Souza, alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, we can't wait to see tensions within the family intensify!
With a release date finally set for the new series, here's everything you need to know about the next instalment, including the plot, cast and when you can watch it.
What is MobLand about?
The series is a gripping gangster epic that pitches the Irish drugs-and-guns family empire, The Harrigans – fronted by matriarch Maeve Harrigan (Helen Mirren), her husband Conrad Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan) and Kevin Harrigan (Paddy Considine) as one of their sons – against the rival gangland family, The Stevensons. Geoff Bell plays Richie Stevenson, who's the head of the latter crime dynasty.
Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy) is the street-smart and formidable fixer employed by the Harrigans to navigate and mitigate the escalating conflict threatening their empire. As tensions between the families intensify, Harry is tasked with protecting the Harrigans' interests and preventing an all-out gang war. Drugs, blackmail, murder – there’s no bar too low in the fight for dominance, and viewers were landed with an excruciating cliffhanger at the end of series one.
What will happen in MobLand series 2?
The new 10-part series will see Tom Hardy return as loyal fixer Harry da Souza, alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren as the unscrupulous heads of the Harrigan family, Conrad and Maeve. When we meet the Harrigans again, we'll find them struggling to show a unified front as rising rivals threaten their fractured criminal empire - and Harry must walk a dangerous tightrope when tensions within the family intensify.
What to read next
Paramount+'s official synopsis continues: "As violence spills into every corner of their lives, loyalties snap, safety proves temporary, and the battle for power leaves no room for mercy."
