As if Guy Ritchie hasn’t been busy enough with multiple films released recently and more in the works, he’s also got the gangster Paramount+ series, MobLand. As usual, Ritchie has gathered an A-list cast led by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan, Helen Mirren, and Emily Barber.
Here’s the synopsis: Power is up for grabs as the Harrigans and Stevensons, two warring London crime families, clash in a kill-or-be-killed battle that threatens to topple empires and ruin lives. Caught in the crossfire is Harry Da Souza, the street-smart ‘fixer’ as dangerous as he is handsome, who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide. As kingdom goes up against kingdom, lines will be crossed – and the only saving grace is a bet-your-life guarantee: family above everything.
You may recall that MobLand began life as The Donovans, a spinoff of the long-running series Ray Donovan. Showrunner Ronan BennettTo (he wrote Michael Mann’s Public Enemies) switched gears and went in a different creative direction which may have been for the best.
MobLand hits Paramount+ on March 30th.
