MobLand season 2 releases trailer with Tom Hardy warning family

Published by Daniella Wilson

We’re now just over a month away from the premiere of MobLand season 2 and, in advance of the release, a brand-new trailer has been unveiled. The promo sees Tom Hardy’s Harry Da Souza warning Pierce Brosnan and Dame Helen Mirren’s Conrad and Maeve Harrigan that the crime family is in a death spiral, and saying that “the war” for North London has already begun. The trailer also introduces us to Johnny Flynn’s new character, who makes a particularly explosive entrance, while Conrad is said to have gone “completely bonkers berserk”, as he is seen holding a gun to his own son, Paddy Considine’s Kevin. Throw in a chainsaw, some guns and plenty of splattered blood, and it looks like another thrilling season. You can watch the trailer right here now. Want to see this content?

Following reports suggesting that Tom Hardy could be leaving the cast of MobLand after the second season due to behind-the-scenes drama, it has now been claimed that he will actually be returning. Hardy’s potential exit was first reported back in May, with the suggestion being that this was due to growing frustration between Hardy and head writer Jez Butterworth.

In a f**king heartbeat.” Now, Deadline has reported that Hardy will be staying on for season 3.

The real-life drama surrounding Paramount+ series MobLand is rumbling on, with fresh details clarifying that star Tom Hardy has not been fired from the show – but there is reportedly discontent behind the scenes. The series, created by Top Boy’s Ronan Bennett, stars Hardy as Harry Da Souza, a ‘fixer’ for the Harrigan crime family led by the formidable Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and Maeve (Dame Helen Mirren). While the first season was an enormous commercial success, the future of the series has been questioned amid reports of growing frustration between Hardy and head writer Jez Butterworth.
