So far, most large series take two or three-year breaks between seasons, “gangstereland” (original name- Mobland) is beaten out of the trend.
Paramount+ officially expanded the criminal drama with Tom Hardy for the second season, and apparently the continuation will be released by 2026 – that is, only a year after the premiere of the first. Against the background of the “Dragon House”, “very strange things” and other long -term epics – this is unexpectedly fast.
The first season debuted in March 2025 and the final was released on 1 June. Despite the rather dense schedule of releases on streaming, “Gangsterland” According to Nielsen, he managed to spend six weeks in the top 10 of the most popular original series. And the number of the project was very impressive:
- 26 million views – That is how much, according to Paramount, has collected the first series in 70 days
- No. 2 under all original Series Paramount+ – only gave the Taylor Sheridan show “Landman”
- 6 weeks in a row In the Nielsen Top 10 rating
The plot is built around the London criminal family of the Harrigans and their “decisions” Harry, which is played by Tom Hardy. The clan tries to maintain power, maneuver between the police and competitors.
In the cast they are mentioned next to Hardy:
- Pierce Brosnan
- Helen Mirren
- Paddy Considine
- Lara Pulver
- Anson Bun
- Jeff Bell
The script was written by Ronan Bennett and Isa Battterort. They also act as performance enactors together with Guy Richie (director of the first two episodes) and Tom Hardy himself.
This is how the expansion was commented by Chris McCarthy, President Showtime/MTV Entertainment:
“With more than 26 million spectators,” Gangsterland “was a real breakthrough – thanks to the talent of Guy, Isa and Ronan, as well as the excellent competition of Tom, Pierce and Helen. We are pleased to give the green light to the second season of this global phenomenon, which dominated the graphs and became number 1 in the United Kingdom.”
It is curious that the series was generally conceived as a British version “Ray Donovan “. But in the process of development, the project broke completely away from the original source and turned into an independent history – and, based on the reaction of the public, this was the right decision.
