Tom Hardy Out of ‘Mobland’ Season 3 After Season 2 Wraps Production

Tom Hardy is out of “Mobland.”

Variety has confirmed with sources that Hardy will not appear in a third season of the Paramount+ crime drama. Production has already wrapped on Season 2, which finished filming in March. Sources say that Hardy was not asked to return to the series following onset issues with executive producer Jez Butterworth, 101 Studios, and others.

Variety has reached out to reps for Hardy, Butterworth, Paramount, and 101 Studios for comment.

A third season has not been formally announced at this time, but given the show’s success on the streaming platform it is all but guaranteed. How Hardy’s character would be written out of the series remains to be seen.

Hardy plays fixer Harry Da Souza in the series, which launched on Paramount+ last spring and quickly became the second most-watched series on the platform. “Mobland,” which was created by Ronan Bennett, stars Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Paddy Considine. It follows the Harrigan crime family, headed by Brosnan’s Conrad and his wife, Maeve (Mirren). Considine plays their son Kevin.

Butterworth wrote all ten episodes alongside Bennett.

It’s not the first time Hardy has clashed with colleagues on set. He notoriously fell out with co-star Charlize Theron on the set of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” with director George Miller later revealing he had to be “coaxed out of his trailer.” Kyle Buchanan also wrote in “Blood, Sweat, and Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road,” a book about the making of the film, that Hardy was “aggressive” during filming.

Puck was first to report the “Mobland” news.
