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.
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."

Gareth Bale breaks his silence on bid to buy League One club as former Real Madrid star admits ownership would 'be a dream come true'
Gareth Bale has confirmed that he is trying to buy Cardiff City with the ultimate aim of propelling the club into the Premier League. The Wales legend spoke publicly for the first time about his bid to take over the League One club — as part of a consortium — at the European premiere of F1: The Movie in London on Monday. Bale, 35, retired from football two years ago after a stellar career in which he won five Champions Leagues with Real Madrid and 111 caps for his country. Last week, his consortium tabled an offer directly to Cardiff owner Vincent Tan. That initial offer was rejected but Bale has not given up hope of owning his hometown club. 'We are interested in getting Cardiff,' Bale said. 'It's my home club, it's where I grew up and my uncle [Chris Pike] used to play for them. To be involved with an ownership group would be a dream come true. 'It's a club close to my heart. It's where I grew up and I would love to be able to be a part of growing Cardiff and taking it to the Premier League where it belongs. 'I know how amazing the Welsh fans and Cardiff fans are. It would be amazing to try and do something together.' 'We are trying to engage with Cardiff and more news will come out on that in the future but hopefully we can get something done.' Bale's interest in Cardiff comes just two months after his former Real Madrid and Tottenham team-mate Luka Modric was announced as a co-owner of Welsh rivals Swansea. Bale himself had previously been linked with a potential investment in Plymouth Argyle but that now appears to have been ruled out. Cardiff, who were last season relegated to League One for the first time since 2003, have just appointed Brian Barry-Murphy as their new head coach.

Love Island's Megan stuns villa hunk as she proposes saucy throuple relationship after dramatic recoupling
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. 4 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
