A Season 3 writers room is already underway on "MobLand" ahead of Paramount+‘ drama’s Season 2 premiere, Deadline has learned. But if/when the series is renewed for a third season, it will be without one of its stars, Tom Hardy, who will not be returning, Deadline has confirmed.

Friction between him and the series’ writer, executive producer and showrunner Jez Butterworth reportedly boiled over to a point where the two could no longer work together. Hardy’s chronic lateness to set is believed to be one of the points of contention, with tension between him and his co-stars also said to be a contributing factor.

Reps for Hardy and "MobLand" producers 101 Studios and Paramount TV Studios did not respond to requests for comment.

Helen Mirren says she would “absolutely” work with MobLand co-star Tom Hardy again: “In a f***ing heartbeat” (https://variety.com/2026/film/festivals/helen-mirren-speaks-out-israel-zionist-bitch-attack-1236772240/)

“I love Tom, I think he’s the most amazing actor,” Mirren tells Variety at Sicily’s Taormina Film Festival, where she’s receiving the lifetime achievement award. “Different actors have different processes. I’ve learnt over the years that some people get to things faster. As long as what’s on the screen is fantastic, I’m totally chilled with however someone gets there. Tom is a very special person. I think he’s absolutely remarkable. My support of him is genuine and heartfelt.” Mirren previously expressed support for Hardy on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/DY5OCaooXMr/?hl=en) last month following reports that he was fired for upsetting his co-stars, including Mirren, by being late to the set.
