Tom Hardy is not expected to continue with Paramount+’s crime drama MobLand if the series moves forward with a third season, according to multiple reports. While Season 2 has already finished filming and is set for a fall release, Hardy’s long-term involvement now appears unlikely following reported behind-the-scenes friction.
Sources say the actor, who portrays fixer Harry Da Souza, completed filming on Season 2 but experienced ongoing issues on set involving executive producer and writer Jez Butterworth, 101 Studios, and others involved in production. Reports also point to repeated tension tied to Hardy’s punctuality, as well as strained relationships with some cast members.
Different outlets have offered slightly varying accounts of his status. Some indicate he was not invited back after production wrapped, while others describe his future on the series as undecided. Paramount+ has not officially confirmed plans for a third season or addressed Hardy’s role moving forward.
Hardy stars alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren in the series, which follows the powerful Harrigan crime family as internal rivalries and external threats push their empire toward collapse. Brosnan plays family patriarch Conrad Harrigan, with Mirren as Maeve Harrigan and Paddy Considine as their son Kevin.
Created by Ronan Bennett and executive produced by Guy Ritchie, MobLand became a major streaming success after its debut last year, ranking as Paramount+’s second-biggest original series launch, behind Landman. It was later renewed for a second season in June 2025 after drawing more than 26 million viewers.
Season 2, which wrapped filming in March, continues the story of competing mob factions in a violent struggle for control, with an ensemble cast that also includes Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Jasmine Jobson, Mandeep Dhillon, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan, and Emily Barber.
