The trailer for MobLand Season 2 has arrived, announcing its September 18 premiere on Paramount+ and providing the first look at Tom Hardy's Harry Da Souza since the events of the first season. The trailer depicts the Harrigan family on the verge of internal conflict, with Da Souza stating, “this hasn’t exactly been a wonderful 24 hours for me, yeah? I’m under a lot of pressure.”
Speculation regarding Hardy's continued involvement in MobLand has been ongoing. Reports in May suggested that Hardy would not be returning due to alleged on-set issues with producers and 101 Studios. These reports claimed Hardy was frequently late, attempted to alter dialogue, and was displeased with the show's shift toward an ensemble focus. While it was later suggested Paramount was considering dropping Hardy instead of risking the departure of creator Jez Butterworth, it ultimately emerged that Hardy had not been fired, but his future on the show was uncertain.
Further reports indicate that Hardy's role in a potential third season of MobLand has not yet been officially confirmed and remains undecided. Should MobLand be greenlit for Season 3, production is slated to commence later this year. Despite this ambiguity, Variety suggests a recent meeting between Hardy and the show's executives in London resulted in a breakthrough, paving the way for his return.
Season 2's official synopsis describes the Harrigans struggling to maintain a united front against rising rivals threatening their criminal enterprise. Harry Da Souza, their skilled "fixer," must navigate intensifying family tensions. As violence escalates, loyalties are tested, and the struggle for power becomes ruthless.
