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.
The tenth episode of the gangster show faced backlash over Pierce Brosnan’s Irish accent – with some critics calling for it to be axed.
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.”
