Paramount+ today announced that MobLand has been renewed for a second season. The series, which spent five consecutive weeks in Nielsen’s most recent ranking of Top 10 SVOD Original Series, is executive produced by Guy Ritchie and marks his first TV series for Paramount+.
The series premiered on March 30 and stars Pierce Brosnan (Mamma Mia!, Tomorrow Never Dies) as the head of an organized crime family, fighting for power within a global crime syndicate, with Tom Hardy (Peaky Blinders, Venom) playing his fixer, and Helen Mirren (1923, The Queen) as his wife.
MobLand also stars Joanne Froggatt (North Shore, Downton Abbey), Lara Pulver (Blood of Zeus, Da Vinci’s Demons), Mandeep Dhillon (CSI: Vegas, After Life), Paddy Considine (House Of The Dragon, The Outsider), Anson Boon (Pistol, The Winter Lake), Jasmine Jobson (Bird, Top Boy), Geoff Bell (The Curse, RocknRolla), Daniel Betts (After The Flood, Fate: The Winx Saga), Lisa Dwan (Blackshore, Top Boy), and Emily Barber (Industry, The Alienist).
“With over 26 million viewers and climbing, MOBLAND has become a resounding triumph driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David C. Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances by Tom, Pierce, and Helen,” said Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount and President of SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment. “We are elated to greenlight a second season of this global phenomenon, which has dominated both domestic and international charts and soared to #1 in the United Kingdom.”
“MOBLAND was one of those incredible moments where Chris McCarthy came to us with the vision of creating the next great mob series, and after traversing the UK countryside in a quest to land Guy Ritchie, we both came to the realization that we knew the exact formula. With the extraordinary talent of Guy, Ronan, Jez and our incredible cast, we brought that vision to life,” said 101 Studios CEO, David C. Glasser.
