Featuring an eclectic cast including Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, it is no wonder that the show has become such a huge hit.
Now, it has been confirmed that it will be back for a second series after becoming Paramount+'s second biggest show ever - just trailing behind Landman.
The streamer revealed that the show had been viewed 26 million times globally in the 70 days since its premiere.
Confirming the second series, Chris McCarthy, one of Paramount Global's three CEOs and president of MTV Entertainment said: 'With more than 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph — driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances of Tom, Pierce, and Helen.
'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 UK.'
In MobLand, Pierce takes the role of Irishman Conrad Hannigan, whose wife Maeve is played by Helen.
The pair head up a criminal family in London.
The tenth episode of the gangster show faced backlash over Pierce Brosnan's Irish accent - with some critics calling for it to be axed.
However, a dramatic end involving Tom Hardy's character Harry appears to have got viewers hooked on the idea of more episodes - something which has now been confirmed as a reality.
In a shock move, Harry's loyal wife Jan stabbed him in the chest in a fit of rage while chopping carrots in the kitchen.

Fans think this cliffhanger ending proves why the show must return - to find out whether he survives.
Sharing various thoughts on how series two will play out, one said: "I saw a post about the ending being bad and Harry getting stabbed being a way for Tom Hardy to leave, but I feel like what followed after the stabbing was kind of a wink that nothing is going to happen to him.
"Harry is definitely the cherry on top of the cake and the showrunners are not oblivious to that.
"If the show has a season 2, Harry will be in there and he would've survived."
Someone else added: "After enjoying the S1 finale, it appears we have our new antagonists to go up against Harry and Kevin: Kat and Eddie in series two.
"Eddie is more f****d up than we thought! Choking your own mother to death is pretty heinous."

Love Island's Megan stuns villa hunk as she proposes saucy throuple relationship after dramatic recoupling
Spin the bottle sowed seeds of discontent between two villa couples THREE OF A KIND Love Island's Megan stuns villa hunk as she proposes saucy throuple relationship after dramatic recoupling Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Megan left a villa hunk blushing tonight after suggesting they form a saucy throuple relationship. The episode began with a dramatic recoupling that saw the power firmly in the girls' hands. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Megan jokingly suggested a throuple scenario to Conor in tonight's Love Island Credit: ITV 4 Tommy is getting to know Emily Credit: ITV They each got to select the man they wanted to partner with, and Megan decided to remain with Tommy. It followed rugby lad Conor making an effort in recent days to pursue her, despite having a close relationship with existing partner Emily. He found himself picked last tonight by Welsh beauty Emily, who gave him a glowing assessment even though they've had a rocky few days. But it quickly became clear that Conor now only sees it as a friendship couple and remains determined to win Megan, later telling her that he'd pick her if another recoupling took place. The Irish lass said the situation was difficult and she still wanted to share a bed with Tommy but jokingly asked: "Can we be in throuple?" At the weekend, Megan and Tommy's seemingly solid relationship was tested properly for the first time this series in a game of spin the bottle. Conor acted out his favourite sex position with the girl he thought was best in bed, choosing Megan. It raised eyebrows from Emily, who said if he keeps going on the way he is he'll never find out about her bedroom skills. She then licked Ben from head to toe in a saucy dare, with an irked Conor simply saying she only chose Ben because he'd chosen Megan previously. All the while, Tommy was sat stewing after learning Megan said she had "unfinished business" with Conor. 4 Megan is playing it cool and insists Tommy is still her number one 4 Tommy admitted he finds Emily attractive Credit: ITV

U2 guitarist The Edge hails ‘monumental day' as he becomes Irish citizen
His Irish citizenship was conferred at a ceremony in Killarney, Co Kerry on Monday. Some 7,500 people will officially become Irish citizens across Monday and Tuesday. He described an 'amazingly joyful event'. 'For all of us, a monumental day,' he told RTE, wearing the distinctive hat he is known for, as well as an Irish flag badge on the lapel of his jacket. 'I'm a little tardy on the paperwork – I've been living in Ireland since I was one but the time was right and I couldn't be more proud of my country for all that it represents and all it's doing. 'It's showing real leadership right now in the world and this couldn't have come at a better moment for me.' The Edge, a guitarist in U2, has been involved with the band since its formation in Dublin in the late 1970s, going on to win scores of music awards. U2's Bono and The Edge (left) performs on stage at the U2 eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour. The O2 Arena, London. U2 is also noted for speaking out with songs such as Sunday Bloody Sunday about the shooting of unarmed protesters in Londonderry in 1972 by British soldiers, New Year's Day which became associated with the Polish Solidarity movement and Pride (In The Name Of Love) in tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. They also strongly supported efforts to secure peace in Northern Ireland with the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement in 1998. The band played Sunday Bloody Sunday last month with a call to 'stop war' at the Ivors award ceremony. The performance came as the group became the first Irish songwriters to be awarded an academy fellowship at the 70th year of the awards ceremony, hosted at London's Grosvenor House.
