Fans of MobLand, the gritty crime drama that electrified British screens last year, can now mark their calendars for a thrilling showdown in September! The highly anticipated second season will explode onto Paramount+ on 18th September, sending shockwaves through the world of crime barons and their enforcers. And if the teaser trailer is anything to go by, this instalment promises to be an adrenaline-fuelled ride.
At the helm of MobLand is none other than master director Guy Ritchie, who has conjured up a complex web of characters and storylines featuring Tom Hardy as a 'fixer' navigating treacherous waters. Alongside Hardy are seasoned actors Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan, their combined acting prowess bringing authenticity to the cutthroat world of crime lords. But behind the scenes, all was not smooth sailing – at one point it seemed that Hardy's involvement in the series might have been a thing of the past due to alleged disputes with producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser.
Fortunately for fans, those reports were later debunked as mere speculation, and Hardy went on to clear the air with his collaborators during a high-stakes meeting in London. With Ritchie mediating, it seemed that all parties came out swinging – or at least, ready to get back to work. And judging by the teaser trailer, they're raring to go!
The first season of MobLand may have polarised audiences with its blend of dark humour and familiar crime-thriller tropes, but one thing's for sure – Guy Ritchie's unique style is back in town. With echoes of his earlier works, including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and RocknRolla, the drama has proven to be a wild ride full of unexpected twists and turns.
But it seems that Tom Hardy's creative streak knows no bounds! In a bizarre twist, the actor is now set to unleash his rap alter ego, Frankie Pulitzer (aka Face Puller), on the world. Joining forces with Czarface – a supergroup comprising 7L, Esoteric and Inspectah Deck from the Wu-Tang Clan – Hardy's debut album 'Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer' promises to be a game-changer in the rap world.
