Tom Hardy will not appear if there’s a third season of “MobLand” after being asked not to return to the Paramount+ series, TheWrap has learned from an insider familiar with the matter.
Hardy was reportedly let go due to onset issues with executive producer Jez Butterworth, 101 Studios and others, according to media reports. Production for Season 2 wrapped in March. The drama has not been officially renewed for a Season 3.
TheWrap has reached out to reps for Hardy, 101 Studios, MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount+ for further comment.
Ronan Bennett’s crime drama premiered in March 2025 and was renewed for a second season that June, which finished filming this past March. The show also stars Pierce Brosnan, Janet McTeer, Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Jasmine Jobson, Mandeep Dhillon, Daniel Betts, Geoff Bell Jordi Mollà, Toby Jones and Helen Mirren.
Created by Ronan Bennett, the series follows a fixer for London crime family. Seeing as how Hardy plays the series’ main character — Harry Da Souza — it’s unclear how the show will proceed without him if it’s renewed for a third season.
The first season of the crime drama broke a record for Paramount+, securing 2.2 million global viewers on its premiere day — a launch day record for the streamer. Though the popular series is expected to continue past Season 2, Butterworth’s current deal with Paramount will wrap at the end of this year. In April, Butterworth signed an overall five-year deal with Universal Entertainment across TV, streaming and film. Both Butterworth and 101 Studios produce “The Agency” alongside “MobLand.”
