Tom Hardy is out of “Mobland.”
Variety has confirmed with sources that Hardy will not appear in a third season of the Paramount+ crime drama. Production has already wrapped on Season 2, which finished filming in March. Sources say that Hardy was let go from the series following onset issues with executive producer Jez Butterworth, 101 Studios, and others.
Variety has reached out to reps for Hardy, Butterworth, Paramount, and 101 Studios for comment.
A third season has not been formally announced at this time, but given the show’s success on the streaming platform it is all but guaranteed. How Hardy’s character would be written out of the series remains to be seen.
Hardy plays fixer Harry Da Souza in the series, which launched on Paramount+ last spring and quickly became the second most-watched series on the platform. “Mobland,” which was created by Ronan Bennett, stars Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Paddy Considine. It follows the Harrigan crime family, headed by Brosnan’s Conrad and his wife, Maeve (Mirren). Considine plays their son Kevin.
