The\u00a0Paramount+<\/a> show stars Hardy as Harry, a fixer for the Harrigan crime family, led by husband and wife duo Conrad (Pierce Brosnan<\/a>) and Maeve (Helen Mirren<\/a>).\u00a0Guy Ritchie<\/a> executive-produced the show and directed the first three episodes, which have been a big hit for the streamer.<\/p>\n

Now that its second season<\/a> has wrapped production, it\u2019s been reported that Hardy has not been invited back for season three.\u00a0Per Variety<\/a>, Hardy had clashed with producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser, among others, leading to his departure from the show.<\/p>\n

The actor was reportedly regularly late to set and \u201cconstantly asked to give notes on scripts,\u201d while allegedly also being displeased with the increased focus on his co-stars, per Puck News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Neither Paramount+ nor Hardy have commented publicly on the news.<\/p>\n

Hardy has previously made headlines for his on-set feud<\/a> with Charlize Theron<\/a>\u00a0during the filming of\u00a0Mad Max: Fury Road.<\/p>\n

Both actors have since taken responsibility for their feud, saying the film\u2019s gruelling schedule plus a lack of trust in each other contributed to the fallout.<\/p>\n

As for MobLand, Deadline<\/a> have reported that the show attracted 26 million views over the first 70 days following its March 30 2025 release, making it the second biggest launch for a Paramount Original series, behind drama Landman.<\/p>\n

Last year, MobLand star Brosnan talked about how Ritchie wanted him to lean into his Irish accent for the part.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cGuy just said, \u2018Go mad. Got it?\u2019 That was it,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we took off from there, and everyone jumped in\u201d.<\/p>\n

NME gave the first season a three star review<\/a>, which read: \u201cTom Hardy, both endearing and menacing, is easily the best thing in the show but Boon also deserves props for bringing the same bug-eyed intensity he cultivated in Danny Boyle<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Sex Pistols<\/a>\u00a0biopic\u00a0Pistol<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0MobLand.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, for all the laugh-out-loud moments and intriguing plot lines, it\u2019s hard to believe Guy Ritchie is still rolling out the same old schtick. It\u2019s as well made a version of this show as you could expect but it\u2019s nothing to get excited about. Lock, Stock\u00a0feels like a very long time ago indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Hardy has reportedly been axed from MobLand.
