Will there be a MobLand season 2?

The series comes from showrunner Ronan Bennett and executive producer/director Guy Ritchie, and features an all-star cast led by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.

There were a few players taken off the board in the season 1 finale, but most of the main figures have lived to fight another day, and Hardy has already teased plans for where the Paramount Plus show could go next.

But how likely is it that we will get to see those plans come to fruition in a second season?

Read on for everything you need to know about MobLand season 2.

Will there be a MobLand season 2?

We don't yet know whether MobLand will get a second season, as nothing has been officially announced.

This shouldn't really come as a surprise or a sign that fans should worry. The first season has just finished airing, so it will likely be little more time until we hear anything official.

Thankfully, signs for the future are good. The series' premiere broke records for Paramount Plus, being watched by 2.2 million global viewers on its first day, the highest ever in the streamer's history.

Other shows to land in the top 3 launches in Paramount Plus history are 1923 and Landman, both of which were renewed following their first seasons.

Tom Hardy has also expressed interest in returning for a second season, telling The Hollywood Reporter that that is definitely "the plan" and that the question is whether the show becomes more international.

"There are international elements to organised crime", he explained, "which are touched on in season one and the control of drugs and ammunition and weapons and people and all kinds of things that go through Europe and from Africa through to South America, Pakistan and the variable commodities that move around Europe.

"There are families that are involved in each European country that are vying for power to have that status to be able to move these kind of commodities through and who polices that and how that fits into a world stage."

Meanwhile, producer David Glasser told in Deadline in March that "there will be" a second season, with the full team returning.

The only negative sign is that, in May, The Sun reported that MobLand was facing cancellation - however, this report has not been in any way confirmed.

When could a potential MobLand season 2 be released?

It's hard to say when a second season of MobLand would be released, but we'd imagine it might be quite a long wait for fans. That's in part because the show has such a large cast of big name actors, and wrangling their schedules can't be easy.

We'd imagine that the earliest we'd likely see a season 2 would be in 2027 – but, of course, that is just speculation. We will make sure to keep this page updated as and when we get any further information.

Who could return to star in a potential MobLand season 2?

We don't yet know who would return from the MobLand cast for season 2, but we can make some guesses based on where the characters ended up at the end of season 1.

We would certainly expect Tom Hardy to be back as Harry, despite that sticky end for him, as writer Jez Butterworth has confirmed he won't die from his stab wound.

Meanwhile the returns of Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren Paddy Considine and Joanne Froggatt also currently seem likely, along with the rest of the surviving central characters.

Here's a list of the major cast members who could return for MobLand season 2:

• Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza
• Pierce Brosnan as Conrad Harrigan
• Helen Mirren as Maeve Harrigan
• Paddy Considine as Kevin Harrigan
• Joanne Froggatt as Jan Da Souza
• Lara Pulver as Bella Harrigan
• Anson Boon as Eddie Harrigan
• Mandeep Dhillon as Seraphina Harrigan
• Jasmine Jobson as Zosia
• Janet McTeer as Kat McAllister
• Jordi Mollà as Jaime Lopez
• Toby Jones as Colin Tattersall

Is there a trailer for a potential MobLand season 2?

There isn't a trailer for MobLand season 2, as the show hasn't yet been renewed.

We will make sure to add one in here if and when one is made available, but for now you can rewatch the trailer for season 1 right here.

MobLand continues on Paramount Plus on Sundays.
