The upcoming series “MobLand”, directed by Guy Ritchie, has officially been titled and is set to premiere on March 30, 2025, on Paramount+. This highly anticipated organized crime drama features an impressive cast, including Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and the legendary Helen Mirren. The show is set to captivate audiences with its intense storytelling and global scope, as it delves into the lives of two powerful crime families based in London but operating on a worldwide scale. This gripping series promises to deliver the kind of gritty, suspenseful, and character-driven storytelling that Guy Ritchie is known for, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
At the heart of the series is the story of two formidable crime families locked in a brutal power struggle. Pierce Brosnan plays Conrad, the head of one of these families, who is fiercely battling to maintain his position within a sprawling global syndicate. Tom Hardy takes on the role of Harry, a fiercely loyal and uncompromising fixer tasked with protecting one family at all costs. The dynamic between these two characters is expected to be electrifying, with their contrasting styles and motivations driving the plot forward. The international setting adds another layer of complexity, as the families’ operations span the globe, creating a web of intrigue and danger.
The ensemble cast of “MobLand” is as impressive as it is diverse. Joining Brosnan and Hardy are Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan, and Emily Barber. Each actor has been cast in a role that adds depth and nuance to the story. Considine, for example, plays Kevin Harrigan, Conrad’s son, while Froggatt portrays Jan Da Souza, Harry’s wife. Pulver takes on the role of Bella Harrigan, Kevin’s wife, and Boon plays Eddie Harrigan, Kevin’s rebellious son. These characters are expected to bring the intricate family dynamics and internal conflicts of the crime world to life, making the story even more compelling.
One of the most interesting aspects of “MobLand” is its evolution. Initially developed under the title “The Donovans”, the show was meant to serve as a British spinoff of the popular Showtime series “Ray Donovan”. However, the creative team decided to rework it into a standalone series, ensuring that it would have no direct connections to the “Ray Donovan” franchise. This decision allows “MobLand” to stand on its own merit, offering a fresh and original take on the crime drama genre. With Guy Ritchie at the helm, the series is expected to bring a unique blend of style, wit, and intensity, making it a standout in the current television landscape.
The production team behind “MobLand” is equally impressive, with a list of executive producers that includes Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, David C. Glasser, Guy Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari. The series is produced in association with MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, with distribution handled by Paramount Global Content Distribution. This level of involvement from such a talented group of creators and producers ensures that “MobLand” will be a high-quality production, both in terms of storytelling and visuals.
“MobLand” is set to premiere on Paramount+ on March 30, 2025, in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. A global rollout will follow later in the same year, making it accessible to fans worldwide. With its powerhouse cast, gripping storyline, and expert direction, this series has all the makings of a hit. Fans of crime dramas, as well as those who enjoy complex characters and international intrigue, will undoubtedly be drawn to “MobLand”. As the release date approaches, anticipation is building for what promises to be one of the most thrilling series of the year.
