Joanne Froggatt said Jan does not necessarily view her situation as permanently leaving Harry, explaining, “I don’t even think it’s like taking Harry back, I don’t think she’s ever really fully left him.”
4
Tom Hardy publicly praised Helen Mirren’s performance as Maeve, saying she has “an extraordinary range” and that it was “lovely to see her let the devil out.”
5
Pierce Brosnan said Hardy’s return was essential to the show, declaring, “Tom is MobLand. Without Tom, we don’t have MobLand,” while describing the reports of conflict as “a storm in a teacup.”
MobLand Season 2 is drawing rave reviews as the Paramount+ crime drama returns with the Harrigan family in crisis. Collider reports that the season premiere sees Conrad kill several gangsters after a deal goes wrong, while Harry struggles with his crumbling marriage to Jan, who hands him divorce papers. Early critics have given the season a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes based on six reviews.
The cast is rallying behind Tom Hardy after months of rumors about conflict with co-stars. NME reports that Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren called the reports "false" and "blindsided" the actors, with Brosnan declaring, "Tom is MobLand. Without Tom, we don't have MobLand." Paramount+ has already renewed the series for Season 3, with Hardy, Brosnan, and Mirren set to return.
A Crime Family Fractures in Season Two
The new season plunges the Harrigans into chaos as rival gangs circle and loyalties crumble. Collider explains that Conrad's violent response to a failed deal sets off a chain reaction that threatens the entire family. Harry faces mounting pressure from multiple directions: his marriage dissolves, his son challenges his authority, and powerful enemies sense weakness.
Joanne Froggatt, who plays Jan, hints that her departure may not be permanent. Collider quotes her saying, "I don't even think it's like taking Harry back, I don't think she's ever really fully left him." This suggests Jan's divorce papers may be a negotiating move rather than a final break, adding layers to the family drama.
Critics Deliver Unanimous Praise for the Premiere
MobLand Season 2 arrives with exceptional critical momentum. Yahoo News reports the show earned a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score from early reviewers, signaling broad approval for how Guy Ritchie's team has deepened the crime saga. The 10-episode season drops weekly on Paramount+, with new episodes arriving at 3 a.m. ET each Friday.
Cast Defends Hardy Against Months of Rumors
Reports of tension between Tom Hardy and his veteran co-stars proved baseless. NME reports that both Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren dismissed the speculation at the Season 2 premiere in London. Brosnan called the conflict reports "a storm in a teacup" and emphasized Hardy's indispensability to the show's success.
Hardy himself praised Mirren's performance in the new season. Yahoo News reports he said she has "an extraordinary range" and called it "lovely to see her let the devil out." The chemistry between the three leads remains strong, with all three confirmed for Season 3 filming expected to begin in November.
