Tom Hardy is not leaving “MobLand” behind after all. Variety has confirmed with sources that the actor is set to return to the Paramount+ crime drama for a potential third season.
As previously reported, Hardy had completed work on Season 2 of the series when he fell out with executive producer Jez Butterworth, 101 Studios, and others. Production wrapped on Season 2 in March.
Hardy and the production team reportedly met in London to hash out their issues, leading to Hardy’s return to the show. Sources previously told Variety that plans were underway to bring Hardy back to the series. 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.
Variety has reached out to Paramount, 101 Studios, and reps for Hardy for comment.
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. Butterworth wrote all ten episodes alongside Bennett.
