'MobLand' Has a Stacked Cast, Killer Premise, and a Fast-Approaching Release Date

When's the last time we've seen Tom Hardy really kicking some ass? If your answer to that question is one of the Venom movies, or Mad Max: Fury Road, there's some good news. Hardy is back in rare form in a blistering new crime drama TV series called MobLand, and it's from producer/creator Ronan Bennett and action movie demigod and fantastic director, Guy Ritchie. 

In addition to Hardy, the cutthroat series stars Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren and is coming out very soon. Here's your guide to the MobLand release date, the cast, the trailer, and what the plot of the show is all about. No Spoilers ahead.

MobLand will hit Paramount+ on Sunday, March 30, 2025. New episodes will air every Sunday. Paramount+ shows tend to drop at 12:00 a.m. ET. So, conceivably, if you're on the West Coast, you could watch the first episode of MobLand on Saturday, March 29, at 9:00 p.m.

What is the Plot of MobLand? Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza and Paddy Considine as Kevin Harrigan.

Created by Ronan Bennett, the new TV series MobLand originally began life as a prequel to the series Ray Donovan. But, as development went on, it became its own, standalone series.

However, like Ray Donovan, the show focuses on a "fixer" for a specific mob family, in this case, Harry (Tom Hardy), who works for a UK crime family called the Harrigans. The conflicts on the show involve Harry trying to clear up various problems the family finds themselves in, which include a rapidly escalating war with a rival gangster family called the Stevensons.

Here's the official synopsis from Paramount+:

"Power is up for grabs as two warring crime families clash in a battle that threatens to topple empires and ruin lives. In the crossfire stands Harry Da Souza (Hardy), a street-smart ‘fixer’ who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide."

Essentially, think The Penguin meets The Sopranos, with Irish and British mobsters.

One of the most appealing things about MobLand is its incredible cast. Not only do you have the Harrigan family and their rivals, but you've also got everyone in Harry's orbit. The show has a lot of overlapping storylines, though pretty much everything comes back to Harry, the man at the center of the spider web. 

Here's who's who in the MobLand cast:

Tom Hardy as Harry Da SouzaHelen Mirren as Maeve HarriganPierce Brosnan as Conrad HarriganPaddy Considine as Kevin Harrigan, one of Conrad's sons, and an old friend of Harry'sDaniel Betts as Brendan Harrigan, another one of Conrad and Maeve's sonsJoanne Froggatt as Jan, Harry's wifeLara Pulver as Bella Harrigan, Kevin's wifeAnson Boon as Eddie Harrigan, Kevin's son and Conrad's grandsonMandeep Dhillon as Seraphina, Conrad’s daughter from another marriageJasmine Jobson as ZosiaGeoff Bell as Richie, the leader of the Stevenson gangLisa Dwan as O’Hara, a lawyer for the familyEmily Barber as AliceJanet McTeer as KatMobLand Trailer

Set to the Rolling Stones classic "Sympathy for the Devil," the Mobland trailer finds Brosnan narrating the basic set-up of the show as Conrad, the boss of the entire operation. Plenty of mayhem, backstabbing, and action are contained in the trailer, but that's only a snippet of what the rest of this epic show is really like.
