Tom Hardy reportedly fired from ‘MobLand’ and won’t appear in season three
Tom Hardy has reportedly been fired from the hit Paramount+ series MobLand and will not return for season three.
Hardy is the star of the show, which premiered in 2025, alongside Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Paddy Considine.
The second season of MobLand is reportedly set to air later this year, and now, according to a new report from Puck, a third series is also in the works, but Hardy will play no part.
The report from Matthew Belloni claims that Hardy frequently clashed with the show’s producers, Jez Butterworth and David Glasser, as well as having creative disagreements over the direction of season two.
It’s also alleged that Butterworth threatened to walk away from the show amid the disputes with Hardy on-set.
Puck‘s report claims: “Hardy was apparently late to set a bunch, constantly asked to give notes on scripts, attempted to change dialogue, and expressed his displeasure that a series initially built around him was increasingly becoming an ensemble showcase for Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and other co-stars.”
Neither Paramount or Hardy have commented on the report.
The first season of MobLand was a triumph for Paramount+ and proved to be one of the most successful original series that the streaming platform has produced, topping the viewing charts in the United Kingdom.
In MobLand, Hardy plays the crucial character Harry De Souza, who works as a fixer for the Harrigan crime family, headed up by Brosnan’s Conrad and Mirren’s Maeve.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2025, Hardy shared his long-term vision for the future of the show, suggesting, “The plan is definitely to see more seasons. The question is: Does it become international? There are international elements to organized crime, which are touched on in season one 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 added, “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 kind of commodities through and who polices that and how that fits into a world stage.”
