Tom Hardy’s ‘MobLand’: A Must-Watch for ‘Tulsa King’ Fans!

Keep an eye out for the upcoming gangster drama series, “MobLand,” premiering on Paramount+. Starring Tom Hardy as a criminal fixer, this new show offers a captivating glimpse into the world of organized crime, drawing inspiration from “Ray Donovan.” With Guy Ritchie serving as executive producer, “MobLand” promises to deliver an exhilarating journey filled with high-voltage action.

In this show titled “MobLand,” Tom Hardy portrays Harry Da Souza, a problem solver for the London-based Harrigan crime clan. When the Harrigans face a danger that imperils not just their family but their entire reputation, it’s time for hard-knuckled Harry to step in and protect them. Developed by Ronan Bennett (known for “The Day of the Jackal” and “Top Boy”), the series also features Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan as leaders of the crime family, who are resolute in preserving their empire.

‘MobLand’ Has a Wonderfully Talented Cast

Even before its official launch, MobLand is generating considerable anticipation. The exhilarating trailer showcasing a confident Hardy meting out street justice has amassed over 3 million views on the Paramount+ YouTube channel in just the first three days following its release. Spectators of the teaser are thrilled by the prospect of Mirren, Brosnan, and Hardy joining forces for this series.

The leading actors in this production are exceptional in their field and are recognized for their impactful screen presence. In an interview with GQ, Brosnan discussed the connection between his MobLand character and past roles: “The character shares a certain consistency with the personas I’ve developed throughout my career…He’s a complex individual who exudes charm, but he teeters precariously on the edge of danger.

The trailer offers a glimpse into a character on the brink played by suave and strategic Brosnan, reminiscent of his roles in movies like James Bond films and The Thomas Crown Affair. By his side is Helen Mirren, portraying a fierce and intelligent character, much like her roles in Fast & Furious series and Red. Also featured is Tom Hardy, known for playing rugged, hand-ready characters, as seen in films such as The Bikeriders and Lawless. This ensemble seems to be an abundance of talent. As Brosnan remarks in the GQ interview, “I’m working with a group of actors who are impeccable and courageous.” Those who have seen the trailer concur, praising the series for its exceptional casting choices.

‘MobLand’ Is Another Exciting Crime Drama Backed by Guy Ritchie

The television show is overseen by director-producer Guy Ritchie. Over the course of his professional journey, this renowned filmmaker has consistently demonstrated his unique ability to craft productions centered around criminal underworld activities. With his trademark blend of polished elegance and raw intensity in full effect, fans eagerly anticipate Ritchie’s next venture. Those who have seen the YouTube teaser admitted that merely seeing Ritchie’s name associated with the show makes it a must-watch for them.

Ritchie’s addition, along with the impressive cast of Hardy, Mirren, and Brosnan, has undoubtedly elevated both the trailer and the show to a new level of anticipation among viewers. While the trailer for MobLand is generating buzz with its portrayal of an intense criminal war, Brosnan (remaining as suave as ever) offers a more refined perspective on his on-screen family. He refers to them as “gangsters,” but also considers them as “businesspeople who occasionally resort to violence.

In Ritchie’s filmography, you’ll find notable titles like “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” “Snatch,” and “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” Ritchie also directed “The Gentlemen,” a crime movie featuring Matthew McConaughey and Charlie Hunnam, which was adapted into a popular Netflix series called “The Gentlemen” with Theo James and Kaya Scodelario in the cast. Initially conceived as a spin-off from the successful TV show “Ray Donovan,” this production started under the working title of “The Donovans.” It was intended to be an origin story for the family of the fixer character, but it was eventually transformed into a standalone series and moved from Showtime to Paramount+. Originally known as “The Donovans,” it is now better recognized as “MobLand.

As a fan excited about the upcoming series, I can’t help but share that MobLand is set to feature an impressive lineup of British talents alongside Hardy, Mirren, and Brosnan. This star-studded cast includes Paddy Considine from The World’s End, Joanne Froggatt from Downton Abbey, Geoff Bell from RocknRolla, Anson Boon, Lara Pulver from Sherlock, Mandeep Dhillon from Some Girls, Jasmine Jobson from Top Boy, Daniel Betts from The Crown, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber from The Royals. This series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios and carries a TV-MA rating, suitable for viewers aged 17 and up due to its mature content that includes violence, strong language, sexual themes, and crime-related elements. Mark your calendars because MobLand will make its debut on Paramount+ on March 30!
