Paramount+ has not yet renewed MobLand for a second season, but a renewal seems likely given the success of Season 1. The premiere broke records as the streamer's biggest global series launch, drawing 2.2 million viewers worldwide. The first season also holds a 75% Fresh rating and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Adding to the likelihood of a second season is lead star Tom Hardy's enthusiasm for continuing the story. When asked about the show's future, Hardy told The Hollywood Reporter that he hopes to keep going with more seasons.
'The plan is definitely to see more seasons,' he said, noting that the real question is now, 'Does it become international?'
He continued, 'There are international elements to organized crime, which are touched on in season one and the control of drugs and ammunition and weapons and people and all kinds of things that go through Europe and from Africa through to South America, Pakistan and the variable commodities that move around Europe. There are families that are involved in each European country that are vying for power to have that status to be able to move these kind of commodities through and who polices that and how that fits into a world stage.'
In a video interview with Deadline, producer David Glasser also appeared to confirm that there will be a Season 2 of MobLand, even before an official renewal from the streamer.
"Yes, there will be," he answered, after Hardy was asked whether there would be a Season 2. Glasser also revealed that the entire creative team and main cast will return for the next installment. 'Everybody's coming back... One big family.' Check out the producer's comments below.

World Craft status for city's jewellery trade

Birmingham's global influence in jewellery making has been recognised by being granted World Craft City Status. World Crafts Council President, Saad Al-Qaddumi, said the title celebrated the city's "rich heritage, skilled artisans, creative designers, proud makers, and innovative contributions to the jewellery industry." Only eight other cities in Europe have been awarded the title. This includes Stoke-on-Trent which was awarded the status last year for its pottery craft. The Jewellery Quarter Development Trust (JQDT) said the award "signifies a landmark moment for Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, placing the city's historic Jewellery Quarter firmly on the global stage." Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter sits close to the city centre and has been a manufacturing centre for more than 200 years. Shops only started to appear in the 1970s when manufacturers decided to sell to individual customers. To get the status, an international judging panel visited the School of Jewellery, established in 1890 and situated in a Grade II-listed building on Vittoria Street, where they took part in a silversmithing workshop and viewed the artistry and craftsmanship of current students. Elsewhere in the Jewellery Quarter, judges stopped at the Birmingham Assay Office, Cooksongold, and the historic Coffin Works. Birmingham's bid was led by JQDT and Birmingham City Council, while being supported by Birmingham City Council and the Goldsmiths Company. Matthew Bott, the chair of JQDT, said: "This is a moment of real pride - not just for the Jewellery Quarter, but for Birmingham and the West Midlands. "We've always known the value of what happens here, and now the world does too. Our thanks go to everyone who helped us reach this point, and we look forward to working with partners old and new to build on this incredible foundation." With the designation now confirmed, the JQDT, supported by city curator Alex Nicholson-Evans, says it will use this recognition as a springboard for further ambition, starting with launching the Birmingham Jewellery Biennial, the UK's jewellery festival. Envisaged as a citywide celebration, plans for the biennial include open studios, jewellery fairs, heritage tours, a trade conference and a flagship exhibition - shining a spotlight on internationally acclaimed artists and emerging talent, selected through a UK-wide open call. JQDT also says the new status opens the door to international partnerships, funding opportunities and collaborative projects - for the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, and the West Midlands. A spokesperson for JQDT said: "With both the Jewellery Quarter and Stoke-on-Trent now recognised as World Craft Cities, the West Midlands is fast becoming a national leader in championing craft as culture.

What we know about Derrick Groves, the convicted double murderer still on the run after escaping a New Orleans jail

Crime Gun violenceFacebookTweetLink Follow When Derrick Groves, 27, was convicted in October of killing two people, his sentence was supposed to bring relief to New Orleans and renewed confidence in law enforcement. 'The days of Derrick Groves bullying and brutalizing this community are over,' FBI Special Agent in Charge Lyonel Myrthil said at the time. But less than a year later, Groves, who later pleaded guilty to battery of a correctional officer, broke out of jail with nine other men and escaped into the dark New Orleans night. Two weeks later, Groves and Antoine Massey, another inmate with a history of escaping custody, are still on the run. A video posted online appears to show Massey declaring his innocence. The US Marshals Service received the video Monday and is looking into it, Deputy US Marshal Brian Fair told CNN. In the video, Massey described himself as 'one of the ones that was let out' of the jail 'where they said I escaped.' 'As far as declaring his innocence, he's going to have to come in to take care of that,' Fair said. Here's what we know about Groves, a man with a violent past whose escape has drawn controversial support. Groves' criminal record dates back to 2014, when he was charged for attempted second-degree murder at age 17. He was eventually found not guilty, according to court records. Last October, Groves was convicted for the second time in the killing of two people on Mardi Gras Day in 2018. After his initial conviction in 2019, a new law calling for unanimous verdicts forced Groves into a second trial — which ended in a mistrial due to a juror reading media reports about the case. A third trial ended in a deadlock, and Groves was finally convicted again last year after a fourth trial, the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office detailed in a news release about the conviction. Groves was determined to be one of two gunmen who opened fire with AK-47-style assault rifles 'on what should have been a joyous Mardi Gras family gathering,' according to the DA's office. Groves was found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Jamar Robinson and Byron Jackson and two counts of attempted second-degree murder for the shooting of two other victims, charges that carry a life sentence, the district attorney said. Prosecutors used social media to help convict Groves, indicating that his online activity 'played a chilling role' in their case. Groves' posted on social media days after the killings showing his familiarity with the weapons used in the incident, according to the DA's office. He 'brazenly boasted about the violence' and even took credit for the killings, officials said. Three witnesses also 'courageously' testified, identifying Groves and his co-defendant as the gunmen, the DA's office said. 'Groves routinely used violence to lash out and silence witnesses or 'snitches,'' Myrthil said at the time. 'There was no doubt in the minds of anyone involved in this case that Groves would continue his bloody rampage on the streets of New Orleans if he weren't stopped. We hope this guilty verdict and the life sentence that accompanies it will give the community renewed confidence and hope in law enforcement.' Because of delays caused by Groves' attorney being suspended from practicing law and the judge in the case recusing herself, Groves was still awaiting sentencing for that conviction at the Orleans Justice Center when he escaped, Keith D. Lampkin, a spokesman for the DA's office, detailed. In April 2024, before his conviction in the double murder, Groves was charged with battery of a correctional facility employee. He pleaded guilty in that case, court records show. After Groves' escape, prosecutors and witnesses associated with the double murder left town 'out of an abundance of caution,' Lampkin told CNN. He did not elaborate. Groves' aunt, Jasmine Groves, told CNN affiliate WDSU that she wants her nephew to turn himself in and that she hopes deadly force will not be used to get him back into custody. She told the station that her family does not know where her nephew is and that the days since his escape have been a nightmare. Jasmine Groves added that Groves' mother was taken from her home against her will by law enforcement officials. US Marshals confirmed to WDSU that they went to Groves' mother's home to question her. 'For my family, it's been like reliving a constant nightmare that we relived throughout these whole 30 years,' she said. Groves is the grandson of Kim Groves, who was killed in a notorious murder-for-hire plot in the Ninth Ward in 1994, the DA's office said. She was a 32-year-old mother of three when the hit was ordered by New Orleans Police Department Officer Len Davis, WDSU reported. This time around, many of the social media posts about Groves have come from supporters, some of whom seem to reference his grandmother's death at the hands of a police officer as a reason to extend him sympathy. 'DERRICK GROVES is the only inmate i dont blame for what he did to qo to jail i hope he neva qet cauqht,' one X user wrote. 'I pray Derrick Groves is never found …safe travels!' another posted. Another X user shared the hashtags '#StayFreeWoo #Groves #JusticeForKimGroves.' The DA's office did not have any comment on the social media support for Groves. He indicated, however, that any suggestion that Groves' crimes were in response to or retaliation for his grandmother's death is 'newly generated urban myth.' CNN's Zoe Sottile, Sarah Dewberry and Karina Tsui contributed to this report.

Deported Albanian drug dealer who returned illegally can stay in UK

An Albanian drug dealer who returned to the UK after being deported for drug offences has been allowed to remain in Britain despite having committed further crimes. Stiljano Ziu was jailed for nine months after being convicted of producing cannabis but was released early on condition that he agreed not to return after being deported. In breach of his deportation, he returned and married a Greek national resident in the UK, on the basis of which he claimed the right to remain in the UK. He was backed by a lower and upper immigration tribunal, on the basis that he was not a threat to the public, despite an appeal by the Home Office who said he had shown 'blatant disregard' for the immigration controls. However, Ziu was subsequently convicted of drug dealing, which means he faces the prospect of deportation for a second time. The case, disclosed in court papers, is the latest example uncovered by The Telegraph where illegal migrants or convicted foreign criminals have been able to remain in the UK or halt their deportations on human rights grounds. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has announced plans to curb judges' powers to block deportations with new legally-enforced 'common sense' rules to clarify how judges interpret human rights laws and strengthen the public interest test. The court was told Ziu entered the UK unlawfully in 2017 or 2018. In November 2018 he was convicted of offences involving the production of cannabis and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. He was deported the following month. However, he illegally re-entered Britain in early 2019 and just before Christmas 2020 he applied for a residence card as the spouse of a Greek national exercising treaty rights to stay in the UK. They married in April 2021. The application was refused but he successfully appealed to a first tier tribunal which noted that his unlawful entry to the UK was four years ago. It found in his favour on the basis that it could not 'be satisfied that there is a 'present' threat to the integrity of the immigration system in the circumstances.' The Home Office appealed, arguing that he posed a 'genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat' to the public and that deportation was proportionate. It noted that his period of residence in the UK was limited and he had started a relationship with his wife at a time when he had entered the UK in breach of a deportation order. 'His familial links were insufficient to establish integration in the UK and his ability to reintegrate into Albania, his country of origin, was realistic,' the Home Office told the court. Ziu was, at the time of the appeal, facing trial for drug producing and dealing but the court said an impending prosecution did not automatically disqualify him from the right to stay as he could be proved innocent. The upper tribunal dismissed the Home Office appeal. 'We find that the Secretary of State has failed to show that the first-tier tribunal erred in law and we dismiss the Secretary of State's appeal,' the judge declared. However, Ziu was convicted in November and jailed for four-and-a-half years for two counts of conspiring to supply Class B drugs. The judge said: 'What happens next is of course a matter for the Secretary of State. However, the claimant must understand that his recent conviction has resulted in a sentence that may require his deportation from the United Kingdom and that is something the Secretary of State will consider. It may be that this case has been an academic exercise.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
