MobLand has been commissioned for a second series (Pic: Paramount) All hell broke loose in the first series as gang warfare erupted on the streets of London between the Harrigans and the Stevensons before stretching to the Harrigan's country pile in the Cotswolds. The series aired on Paramount+ in March and April and left fans on a cliffhanger regarding the future of some of its best-loved characters. In a post on their social media accounts this week, Paramount+ confirmed a second series is on the cards. 'They may have won the battle, but will they win the war? Mobland will return for season two," they stated. 'Unfinished business never ends quietly," they added. The series was created by Belfast author and screenwriter Ronan Bennett, who is also an executive producer on the show. Bennett co-writes the show with The Ferryman playwright Jez Buterworth. Director Anthony Byrne, the Dubliner behind the likes of Say Nothing, Peaky Blinders and Love/Hate, directed four episodes of the first series, while Ritchie directed two. Paramount have confirmed that the first series 'scored 26 million viewers' for the channel. '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,' Paramount CEO Chris McCarthy, said. '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," he added.

Huge twist in Mobland finale guarantees second series, say fans – despite backlash over Pierce Brosnan's accent
A HUGE twist in the finale of Guy Ritchie's Mobland series has guaranteed a second series, according to fans. The tenth episode of the gangster show faced backlash over Pierce Brosnan's Irish accent - with some critics calling for it to be axed. Advertisement 2 Pierce Brosnan was criticised over his Irish accent Credit: Luke Varley/Paramount+ 2 Tom Hardy's character's fate was left on a cliffhanger at the end of series one Credit: Luke Varley/Paramount+ However, a dramatic end involving Tom Hardy's character Harry appears to have got viewers hooked on the idea of more episodes. 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. Advertisement READ MORE ON MOBLAND "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. Advertisement Most read in News TV "Before the finale, I would have said Eddie's too weak/cowardly to even be mentioned in the same breath as Kat McAllister. But seeing his venomous attempts to kill his mother, I think Kat and Eddie will find their way onto some kind of team together. I think Eddie wants to destroy every Harrigan now." Another said: "Lowkey wish Conrad and Maeve could just be gone from season 2 and they would focus on Kat and if anything Eddie only. And Seraphina perhaps as an antagonist as well working with Kat." A viewer wrote: "Well Eddie didn't successfully commit matricide so it'll be interesting to see how Bella reacts during S2." Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan star in new MobLand trailer
