Tom Hardy Fired From ‘MobLand’ Season 3: Report
What To Know
- Actor Tom Hardy has reportedly been fired from his Paramount+ series MobLand.
- A report indicates that he clashed with producers on set for Season 2.
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.”

Love the show but will not watch it if Hardy is not in it. He makes the show. Who cares about some producers ego.

Tom Hardy was the Star of MobLand Big big mistake Paramount+ just lost another viewer

Oh no. What could we possibly do without Jez Butterworth?
Arriving late, giving script notes, having an inflated ego ... part and parcel of being an above the title star. Not necessarily fun to deal with, but a huge part of a producer/showrunner's job is to keep the stars happy. This isn't art for goodness sake. The whole point is to make money.

Producers and Hardy better fix this. Otherwise, why would we stick for season 3. We've been waiting forever for season 2!

if his suggestions were good don't see why they didn't went to use them. if they weren't good, could simply tell him this doesn't work, so we will not be using them. that simple. might have being that they didn't want to pay him cs is a big name so decided to axe him instead. hollywood, if you don't abide by their whims you are labeled difficult & blacklisted. if they want to use actors for propaganda & to push whatever woke agendas or warmongering agendas then actors should have in their contract from get go as clause that if they disagree they can't force them to comply with the threat to be fired if not in agreement. hollywood mob are money grabbing opportunists & would do anything to get filthy rich.
