The buzz around the crime series MobLand has been rewarded with a renewal for a second season. Featuring iconic James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan and The Queen's illustrious Dame Helen Mirren, the show has impressed audiences on Paramount+.
Following the turbulent lives of two rival mob families, the Harrigans and the Stevensons, the narrative unfolds with drama and dangerous power struggles which dominate their existence.
At 72 years old, Brosnan takes on the potent role of patriarch Conrad Harrigan, alongside Dame Helen who portrays his wife Maeve Harrigan. Their screen dynamic is elevated by Tom Hardy's Harry Da Souza, the quintessential "fixer" who sweeps in when the sons of these feuding families face trouble after their night out spirals out of control.
A constellation of acting talent fills the MobLand roster, including Paddy Considine from House Of The Dragon, Downton Abbey's very own Joanne Froggatt, and Jasmine Jobson known for her role in Top Boy.
Strengthening the cast further are Lara Pulver of Da Vinci's Demons, Anson Boon from Pistol, Geoff Bell of Top Boy fame, and Emily Barber who made waves in Industry.

Paramount's co-chief executive Chris McCarthy expressed immense satisfaction with the show's performance: "With over 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph."
With palpable excitement, he confirmed the next installment, "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."
The debut series, produced in collaboration with MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, launched in March and was conceived by Top Boy creator Ronan Bennett, who also co-penned the series with Spectre writer Jez Butterworth, and had Guy Ritchie on board as an executive producer.

Paramount+ reports that the show drew in over 26 million viewers, securing its spot as the second most-watched original series on the platform.
Butterworth commented: "TV was a brand-new world for me and I was reluctant to commit to TV overall, but Chris (McCarthy) David (Glasser) and the teams at Paramount and 101 Studios, completely changed my perspective with their bold creative vision and razor-sharp strategic insight.
"Collaborating with Chris, David, Guy (Ritchie) and our stellar cast has been nothing short of inspiring and I'm excited to dive into the second season of MobLand."
