Following The Gentlemen, the Netflix spin-off series based on his own 2019 gangster drama, Guy Ritchie is returning to familiar territory with MobLand, this time for Paramount+. The series, starring Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren, will stream in India on JioHotstar from March 31.
The plot revolves around a powerful crime family headed by a couple played by Brosnan and Mirren, with Hardy as an enforcer working for them.
As per the official logline, "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."
The series sees Ritchie reunite with Hardy after their last collaboration in 2008's RocknRolla, in which Hardy co-starred with Gerard Butler and Idris Elba before they all went on to become bigger stars.
Ritchie is one of the directors of the series alongside three other directors who have experience directing acclaimed shows: Anthony Byrne (Peaky Blinders), Lawrence Gough (Doctor Who), and Daniel Syrkin (Tehran).
Ronan Bennett, creator of the recent series version of The Day of the Jackal, is behind the conception.
