Tom Hardy may not be leaving MobLand after all. Multiple reports throughout the day suggested the actor had been fired from the show following clashes with its producers. Now, a new update has shed some light on the situation.

What’s the latest MobLand update on Tom Hardy’s status?

According to new information obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, it appears that Hardy’s future on the show is “very much in limbo.” Despite multiple reports of Hardy’s firing, THR states that the actor has indeed not been fired yet, but there are ongoing discussions about it happening.

The report reveals that one of the reasons why the decision hasn’t been made is that MobLand hasn’t been renewed for a third season yet. While a new season hasn’t been ordered, a writers’ room has been set up to develop story ideas. This suggests early intent by the streamer to continue the show. Hardy reportedly clashed with Jez Butterworth, an executive producer, and individuals at David Glasser’s 101 Studios, who produce the show.

The report notes that the show’s performance is strong enough to survive a renewal even without Hardy. To that end, MobLand Season 3 could persevere Hardy’s exit with potential recasts. The original report from Puck revealed that Hardy attempted to change dialogue, gave script notes, arrived late to set, and disliked the idea of the show turning into an ensemble.

MobLand follows Harry Da Souza, played by Hardy, who works for the Harrigan crime family, led by Pierce Brosnan’s Conrad and Helen Mirren’s Maeve. Besides Hardy, Brosnan, and Mirren, the series also stars Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Teddie Allen, and Paddy Considine.

MobLand Season 2 is yet to get a release date. Series director and producer Guy Ritchie recently revealed that season 2 will debut towards the end of 2026.

The first season of MobLand is streaming now on Paramount+.
