Guy Ritchie’s MobLand — Slow burn crime drama returns

Guy Ritchie’s MobLand is returning next month for its second season on streamer Paramount+ following a “good but not great” first season reviewed here at borg.  Featuring an impressive cast of movie stars along with some prime TV talent, the “sort-of” spin-off of Ritchie’s better series The Gentlemen was a slow drama that finally came together in its mob-style operatic third act.  Blending action and drama with humor, MobLand stars Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren as heads of the story’s crime family the Harrigans, a couple with a love-hate relationship, volleying the most outlandish, over-the-top profanity at each other for ten episodes.  But the real star is Tom Hardy as their enforcer, thug, and chief fixer.

The returning supporting cast includes Paddy Considine (the Cornetto trilogy) as Conrad’s son Kevin, Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey) as Harry’s wife Jan, and Lara Pulver (Sherlock) as Kevin’s wife Bella.  Jessica Jones’ Janet McTeer steps up as an even bigger threat this season.

Here’s the trailer for Season 2 of MobLand:

The first season of MobLand is streaming now on Paramount+.  Season 2 comes to Paramount+ September 18, 2026.
