Guy Ritchie’s ‘MobLand’ — Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren — Sets March Premiere on Paramount+
By Ethan Shanfeld
Guy Ritchie‘s organized crime series starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren has finally been given title — “MobLand” — and a March 30 premiere date on Paramount+.
In the series, Brosnan plays Conrad, the head of an organized crime family who is fighting for power within a global crime syndicate. As Variety previously reported, the show will center on “two warring families based in London whose enterprises stretch all corners of the globe.” Hardy plays Harry, a “fiercely loyal” fixer who is charged with protecting one of the families at all costs.
“MobLand” also stars Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber.
Considine will play Kevin Harrigan, Conrad’s (Brosnan) son. Froggatt will play Jan Da Souza, Harry’s (Hardy) wife. Pulver will play Bella Harrigan, Kevin’s wife. Boon will play Eddie Harrigan, Kevin’s rebellious son.
“MobLand” will launch on Paramount+ on March 30 in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia. A global rollout will take place later in 2025.
The one-hour gangster drama had initially been developed with the title “The Donovans,” with plans to function as a British spinoff of the Showtime series “Ray Donovan.” However, “MobLand” has been reworked into a standalone series with no connections to that franchise.
The series is executive produced by Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, David C. Glasser, Guy Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari. It’s produced in association with MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Get ready for more Guy Ritchie coming to the small screen soon. Hot on the heels of the director’s well-received Netflix series The Gentlemen, the British filmmaker known for loads of action and rapid-fire dialogue is bringing his signature style to Paramount+ with the gritty crime drama MobLand, set to premiere on March 30.
If you loved The Gentlemen — with its snappy banter, colorful gangsters, and all the backstabbing you could ask for — then MobLand looks set to be your next obsession. This time, Ritchie shifts the action to the heart of a global crime syndicate, following the powerful Harrigan family as they navigate power struggles and betrayals. Pierce Brosnan stars as the family patriarch Conrad Harrigan, with Helen Mirren bringing her regal presence as his wife Maeve. Tom Hardy is also on hand as a ruthless fixer, assigned to protect the clan.
This new one-hour gangster drama promises to deliver everything Ritchie fans crave — high-stakes drama, dark humor, and plenty of stylish violence. With an ensemble cast that also includes Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, and Jasmine Jobson, MobLand is shaping up to be the kind of crime saga that makes you root for the bad guys, even if you wouldn’t want to come across them in real life.
As an aside, the series had reportedly been developed at first as a planned British spinoff of Showtime’s Ray Donovan, the hit drama in which Liev Schreiber stars as the titular Hollywood fixer who makes the problems of L.A.’s rich and powerful disappear. However, as MobLand evolved, it was reworked into its own standalone story.

What makes MobLand even more intriguing is how it builds on the momentum of Ritchie’s recent small-screen success. The Gentlemen proved he could translate his cinematic style into binge-worthy TV — and now he’s doubling down with another story in the same vein. If Ritchie’s name on the credits wasn’t enough to sell you, the promise of watching Pierce Brosnan and Tom Hardy face off in the world of organized crime should also help to seal the deal.
With MobLand, Ritchie looks definitely ready to remind everyone why he’s still the king of stylish, brutal crime dramas. Importantly, his show is yet another reason why TV fans absolutely shouldn’t sleep on Paramount+.
