MobLand season 2 gets September release date as Tom Hardy returns

MobLand season 2 will premiere globally on Paramount+ on Friday 18 September 2026, with Tom Hardy returning as fixer Harry Da Souza. The 10-episode run puts the Harrigan family under pressure from rival gangs and a growing internal split, while a new teaser promises a more chaotic fight for control.

The Full Story

Paramount+ has set 18 September 2026 for the worldwide return of its British crime drama. The new season runs for 10 episodes and brings back Hardy alongside Pierce Brosnan and Dame Helen Mirren as the Harrigan family faces pressure from both outside rivals and fractures within its own ranks.

The first teaser shows Conrad and Maeve Harrigan going directly into danger as their latest street war escalates. Conrad is shown firing at rivals and declaring, “We are the Harrigans!”, while the trailer uses The Prodigy’s “Firestarter” to drive the sense of disorder. The official story description says the family will struggle to present a united front as rising rivals threaten its north London criminal empire.

Harry sits at the centre of that conflict. The season description places him on a dangerous tightrope as tensions inside the family intensify, forcing the fixer to hold together people whose loyalties are beginning to break. The threat is not simply another gang war: the story is built around the possibility of civil war within the Harrigans themselves.

The release-date announcement also arrives after weeks of uncertainty around Hardy’s longer-term future. Reports said he had fallen out with writer and showrunner Jez Butterworth after completing work on season 2. A later meeting in London involving Hardy, Butterworth and executive producer David Glasser reportedly produced a way forward, with Guy Ritchie also involved in efforts to resolve the dispute. A third season has not been formally ordered, but a writers’ room is already open and Deadline reported that Hardy, Mirren and Brosnan are being kept at the centre of plans.

Who's Involved

Hardy returns as Harry Da Souza, the street-smart fixer trying to keep the Harrigans together. Brosnan plays family head Conrad Harrigan, while Mirren returns as Maeve, his wife. Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Teddie Allen, Emmett J. Scanlan, Johnny Flynn, Ophelia Lovibond, Janet McTeer and Toby Jones are also listed among the season 2 cast.

Ronan Bennett created the series. Jez Butterworth is showrunner and executive producer, while Hardy and Guy Ritchie are also executive producers. The production is associated with Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios.

By the Numbers

The second season has 10 episodes and launches on 18 September 2026. Radio Times reports that MobLand has reached 26 million viewers since its March 2025 debut, while Deadline says the first season became Paramount+’s second biggest launch for an original series, behind Landman.

Those figures help explain why the production has worked to preserve its central trio. The dispute around Hardy created a practical risk for any future season, because Harry, Maeve and Conrad are the characters around whom the current plans for a potential third run are being written.

What This Means

For UK viewers, the new season keeps one of Paramount+’s biggest British crime dramas anchored in a recognisable north London setting and led by three of the country’s best-known screen stars. The fresh conflict also shifts the danger inward: rival gangs matter, but the family’s inability to stay united may be the bigger threat.

There is also a clear business dimension behind the scenes. A show that reached 26 million viewers and became one of the platform’s biggest launches has strong reasons to protect the cast dynamic that drew audiences in. The reported resolution with Hardy therefore matters beyond celebrity gossip: it reduces uncertainty around how a future season could continue the story without removing its central fixer.

What to Expect

The next confirmed event is the global Paramount+ premiere on Friday 18 September 2026. Viewers can expect the full 10-episode season to centre on the Harrigans’ attempt to survive rival attacks while preventing their own family tensions from turning into open civil war.

Beyond that, season 3 is still not official. The writers’ room is open and reports say Hardy is expected to continue alongside Mirren and Brosnan, but Paramount+ has not formally announced another renewal.
