"MobLand" Renewed for Season 2

Paramount+ has renewed its high-profile crime drama “MobLand” for Season 2.

The series originally debuted on the streamer in March, with the Season 1 finale airing June 1.

It has spent six weeks on the Nielsen Top 10 Original Series chart, with the most recent data being available for the week of May 19 – May 25.

Furthermore, Paramount said the first episode has drawn 26 million viewers since its debut, with viewers defined by total global watch time divided by total run time in its first 70 days of availability.

The company also says that the series is now Paramount+’s number two original of all time, behind only Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman.”

“MobLand” follows London crime family the Harrigans and their loyal fixer, Harry Da Souza (played by Tom Hardy), as they battle the authorities and other criminals in their attempts to hang on to power.

Along with Hardy, the cast also includes Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan, and Emily Barber.

“MobLand” was created and written by Ronan Bennett and Jez Butterworth. Both serve as executive producers.

Guy Ritchie is also an executive producer and directed the first two episodes.

Hardy executive produces in addition to starring. Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, Glasser, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Dean Baker, Anthony Byrne, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari also executive produce.

The series is commissioned by Paramount+, produced in association with MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

This is now Butterworth’s second Paramount show to nab a second season under his TV overall deal with Paramount+ and Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios.

Butterworth is also the co-creator of the Paramount+ with Showtime series “The Agency” along with his brother, John-Henry Butterworth. That show, which is based on the French series “Le Bureau des Légendes,” was picked up for Season 2 in December 2024.

Production on the new season is already underway.

“MobLand” was greenlit in February 2024 and was originally intended to be a British take off on Showtime’s “Ray Donovan.”

It evolved over the course of its development into a standalone series with no connection to that show, however.
