Tom Hardy’s gritty gangster drama MobLand has officially been renewed for a second season, Paramount+ has confirmed. The news comes after the crime thriller’s explosive finale left fans reeling—and eager for more.
🔥 Record-Breaking Viewership Fuels Renewal
Since its debut on March 30, 2025, MobLand has become one of the biggest successes in Paramount+ history. The series racked up a staggering 26 million global viewers in just 70 days, making it the streamer’s second most-watched original series ever, behind only Taylor Sheridan’s Landman.
Viewership was particularly strong in the UK, where MobLand topped streaming charts, and it consistently ranked in Nielsen’s Top 10 SVOD Originals for five consecutive weeks in the US. The show’s combination of raw storytelling, intense performances, and authentic East End grit clearly struck a chord with audiences around the world.
🎬 A Shocking Finale Leaves Fans Stunned
Season 1 concluded on June 1 with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger: mob boss Harry (played by Tom Hardy) is shockingly stabbed by his own wife, Jan, in a moment that left fans questioning whether the lead character had been killed off.
However, executive producer Jez Butterworth quickly reassured viewers. Speaking to the press shortly after the finale aired, he confirmed:
“Harry’s not going anywhere. He survives. This story is far from over.”
🧠 What to Expect in Season 2
With the creative team—including Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Guy Ritchie, and Tom Hardy himself—all returning, expectations are sky-high for MobLand Season 2.
Insiders hint that the second season will broaden the scope of the criminal underworld explored in Season 1. The action may expand from East London to international turf, potentially involving continental European gangs and new power dynamics.
Season 2 is also expected to delve deeper into the complex relationships between key characters, with Kat and Eddie likely playing bigger roles. Jan’s betrayal will no doubt be a central focus, as the consequences of her actions ripple through the crime empire Harry built.
🎥 Filming Timeline and Release Date
While no official release date has been set, production on MobLand Season 2 is expected to begin later in 2025, with a likely premiere in late 2026 or early 2027.
👑 Tom Hardy’s Reign Continues
Tom Hardy’s magnetic performance as Harry—equal parts brutal and vulnerable—has been widely praised. Critics have described his portrayal as one of the standout roles of his career, with MobLand helping to redefine British gangster television for a new generation.
