Tom Hardy Returns to MobLand, Clearing Path for Potential Season 3

3 articles · Updated · Hollywood Reporter · Jun 30

Summary

  • London talks between Tom Hardy, Jez Butterworth and 101 Studios' David Glasser resolved a behind-the-scenes dispute, putting Hardy back in line for a potential third season of Paramount+'s MobLand.
  • Season 3 has not been formally renewed, but production had been targeting a fall filming start, and Hardy's return makes that timetable easier to hit.
  • The clash surfaced during season two production, when Hardy was reported to have stayed in his trailer and sent script notes to Butterworth and creator Ronan Bennett, delaying castmates including Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.
  • Guy Ritchie, who has directed several episodes, also helped broker the detente as season two remains on track to premiere later this year.
