With the second season of Paramount+'s hit crime drama MobLand approaching, the show continues to expand its global reach. Data from FlixPatrol shows that the British gangster drama has found a new audience on Apple TV. The series created by Ronan Bennett has been enlarging its global streaming footprint on platforms like Paramount+ and Prime Video, but this new development opens it to a whole new audience. The show has found an audience in Australia and the UK, the latter of which it had already dominated on Paramount+.

MobLand is a gritty crime drama from the creator of The Day of the Jackal. It is set in London's crime world as different factions battle for control of the illegal trades that make them money. At the center of everything is the Harrigan family, led by patriarch Conrad (Pierce Brosnan). Also equally important is the family's fixer, Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy), whose main job is to anticipate problems and solve them. The Harrigan clan consists of intriguing figures, each with their quirks and shortcomings. Everyone is always looking out for themselves first, even when the family should be the prime focus. Other cast members include Helen Mirren (Maeve), the matriarch, and Joanne Froggatt (Jan), Harry's wife. Paddy Considine (Kevin), Mandeep Dhillon (Seraphina), Anson Boon (Eddie), and Daniel Beetts (Brendan) make up the rest of the family.

'MobLand' Could Be Expanding in Season 2

While the show's first season primarily dealt with the war between the Harrigans and the Stevensons, Season 2 could see a bigger stage for the next conflict. Season 1 had been building towards a global crime affair, introducing characters like Kat McAllister (Janet McTeer), a globally connected criminal with enough reach to exert pressure anywhere in the world. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hardy hinted that MobLand could introduce crime families from other countries, a claim corroborated by a new filming update. The actor said:

"There are international elements to organized crime, which are touched on in Season 1 and the control of drugs, 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. 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 kind of commodities through and who polices that and how that fits into a world stage."

MobLand Season 2 does not yet have a return date, but stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
