- This comes after Tom Hardy was rumored to be fired from the show following season 2 production issues
- Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren will returning as leading cast across 10 new episodes
Paramount+ has confirmed that MobLand season 2 will return on September 18, 2026 in its first teaser trailer, which you can catch up with below.
According to the studios, the 10-episode season will see “the Harrigans struggle to show a unified front as rising rivals threaten their fractured criminal empire.
“Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy), their street-smart and formidable ‘fixer’, must walk a dangerous tightrope when tensions within the family intensify. As violence spills into every corner of their lives, loyalties snap, safety proves temporary, and the battle for power leaves no room for mercy.”
Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren will return to lead the cast, and are joined by Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Teddie Allen, Emmett J Scanlan, Johnny Flynn, Ophelia Lovibond, Janet McTeer, and Toby Jones.
If anything, this could now confirm that Hardy’s role in the show is safe, following rumors that he wouldn’t be returning for season 3 after “career suicide behavior.”
MobLand season 2 feels stronger than ever after Hardy exit rumors threatened to derail season 3
Let’s recap what happened. On May 27, an article from The Hollywood Reporter claimed that if MobLand season 3 were renewed, it would begin shooting later this year — but behavior from star Tom Hardy had “spooked producers”.
The source alleged: “He refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time. He kept the cast waiting, [which is] a power play. Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide, I would wager.”
However, a separate source has since told Variety, “Tom was not fired, the door is not closed for season 3 and things are being worked through creatively.”
Paramount+ has made no official comment on renewal of season 3, but if it does happen, we can expect news towards the end of season 2’s release.
In the meantime, the above trailer has already been described as “ruthless” by fans. As one YouTube comment puts it, “The first season set the chessboard. This trailer looks like someone just flipped the table. MobLand is back and it looks ruthless.”
“There is no MobLand without Tom Hardy,” a second weighed in.
