Even as James Bond, Pierce Brosnan hasn’t looked as badass as he does in this new season 2 trailer for Paramount+’s MobLand. The new season drops on September 18th. The first season of the show resonated with viewers and this second season looks to take things up a notch. The Guy Ritchie series made incredible waves on Paramount+, breaking the streamer’s biggest global series launch record on premiere day with 2.2M subscribers and 9.7M views. Ritchie’s episodic crime saga joined 1923 and Landman as part of the top three launches in Paramount+ history.
MobLand stars Tom Hardy (Venom: The Last Dance), Pierce Brosnan (Goldeneye), Paddy Considine (House Of The Dragon), Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), Lara Pulver (Da Vinci’s Demons), Anson Boon (Pistol), Mandeep Dhillon (CSI: Vegas), Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy), Geoff Bell (Top Boy), Daniel Betts (Fate: The Winx Saga), Lisa Dwan (Blackshore), Emily Barber (Industry) and Helen Mirren (The Queen).
The Drama of Tom Hardy
Controversy surrounded the return of Tom Hardy as this season wrapped. It was first reported that Hardy was fired from the following seasons after clashing with the producers on the show. Despite the hearsay, Helen Mirren would defend Hardy and ultimately, Guy Ritchie helped to bring Hardy, showrunner Jez Butterworth and executive producer David Glasser together on an agreement and any issue has been resolved. Hardy is now on board to return for season 3.
Season 1
The official synopsis for the series reads, “Power is up for grabs as the Harrigans and Stevensons, two warring London crime families, clash in a kill-or-be-killed battle that threatens to topple empires and ruin lives. Caught in the crossfire is Harry Da Souza, the street-smart ‘fixer’ as dangerous as he is handsome, who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide. As kingdom goes up against kingdom, lines will be crossed – and the only saving grace is a bet-your-life guarantee: family above everything.”
Alex Maidy reviewed MobLand season one for JoBlo and, from the look of it, thoroughly enjoyed the ride. In his review, Alex said, “MobLand is not all that different from any other gangster or crime-based series on television. Still, it rises above the formula thanks to the fixer plot structure inherited from Ray Donovan and the great cast led by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren. MobLand is violent and intense, with the right amount of humor to brighten the story.”
