The second season of MobLand has just recently completed production, but already news about a potential third season is starting to come through … and it’s not necessarily good news, either.
According to Puck’s Matthew Belloni, series lead Tom Hardy has been fired from the show’s third season due to certain behaviors on the set of Season 2.
The site reports that Hardy clashed with MobLand producers when arriving late to set and offering script notes and unscripted dialogue changes. The report also claims that Hardy was dissatisfied with being part of an ensemble cast for the series. Producer Jez Butterworth reportedly even threatened to quit the series ahead of Hardy’s ouster. Season 2 has completed production.
In MobLand, Hardy stars as Harry De Souza, a fixer who works for the Harrigans, a crime family in London who are originally from Ireland. The first season saw him spearhead the family’s feud with the rival Stevensons, with the war ending in major bloodshed.
The second season is expected to feature the return of Hardy to his role, along with Pierce Brosnan as Conrad Harrigan, Helen Mirren as Maeve, Paddy Considine as Kevin, Anson Boon as Eddie, Mandeep Dhillon as Seraphina, Joanne Froggatt as Jan, Jasmine Jobson as Zosia, Lara Pulver as Kevin’s wife Bella, Janet McTeer as Kat Mc Allister, Alex Fine as Donnie, Jordi Mollà as Jaime Lopez, and Toby Jones as Colin Tattersall. The second season will also feature the introduction of new characters portrayed by Johnny Flynn and Ophelia Lovibond.
Tom Hardy previously told The Hollywood Reporter that fans could expect the scope of the show to widen in Season 2, saying, “There are international elements to organized crime which are touched on in Season 1 and the control of drugs and ammunition and weapons and people and all kinds of things that go through Europe and from Africa through to South America, Pakistan and the variable commodities that move around Europe.” He’s referring, of course, to characters like Kat and Jaime, as well as those involved in the ill-fated meeting with Bella and her father. “There are families that are involved in each European country that are vying for power to have that status to be able to move these kinds of commodities through, and who polices that and how that fits into a world stage.”
