The Paramount+ series MobLand, which premiered on March 30, 2025, quickly garnered attention with its compelling narrative and a star-studded cast led by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren. The series, which delves into the dangerous world of warring crime families in London, captured a significant audience right from its debut, even breaking streaming records for Paramount+. This report consolidates all available information regarding the now-confirmed second season of MobLand, offering insights into its renewal, expected release date, possible plotlines, returning cast, and reception.
Is Season 2 Confirmed?
Yes – MobLand has officially been renewed for a second season.
Producer David Glasser confirmed the show’s return shortly after the premiere of Season 1, stating:
“There will be, there will be, yes there will be. Same team, same everybody. And Guy, and the directors Anthony Burns. Same actor, same actors.”
This statement was shared in an exclusive report by MovieWeb, which noted that MobLand Season 2 is already in the works, keeping its all-star cast and creative team intact.

When Could Season 2 Arrive?
While an exact release date for MobLand Season 2 remains unannounced, indications point toward a spring 2026 release window. This speculation is based on the Season 1 schedule, with episodes running from March 30 to June 1, 2025. If production for Season 2 begins in late 2025, a similar spring slot seems likely.
What Might Happen in Season 2?
While specific plot details for Season 2 remain under wraps, the groundwork laid in Season 1 offers several narrative possibilities. The ongoing war between the Harrigans and Stevensons, two crime families vying for dominance in London, continues to escalate. Central to this is Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy), the conflicted fixer for the Harrigans.
Season 2 is expected to delve deeper into:
- Harry’s evolving loyalties
- New alliances and betrayals
- Fallout from the events in Belgium (“Antwerp Blues”)
- Expanding criminal territories and international stakes
Given that MobLand was conceived as a spin-off of Ray Donovan, it may further carve out its own identity while loosely connecting to that universe.
Returning Cast
According to Glasser, the entire main cast will return:
- Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza
- Pierce Brosnan as Conrad Harrigan
- Helen Mirren as Maeve Harrigan
- Paddy Considine
- Joanne Froggatt
- Lara Pulver
- Anson Boon
- Mandeep Dhillon
- Geoff Bell
This confirmation ensures continuity in the storytelling and further development of intricate character arcs.
