MobLand Scores Season Two Renewal

With 26 million viewers to date for its original series MobLand, Paramount+ has renewed the acclaimed show for a second season.

The drama, executive produced by Guy Ritchie and hailing from Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, has spent five consecutive weeks in Nielsen’s most recent ranking of the top ten original series on SVOD.

Created and written by Ronan Bennett and written by Jez Butterworth, the series came out of Butterworth’s exclusive TV overall deal signed by Chris McCarthy, Paramount Co-CEO and president and CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios.

“With over 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David C. Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances by Tom, Pierce, and Helen,” said McCarthy. “We are elated to greenlight a second season of this global phenomenon, which has dominated both domestic and international charts and soared to #1 in the United Kingdom.”

“MobLand was one of those incredible moments where Chris McCarthy came to us with the vision of creating the next great mob series, and after traversing the U.K. countryside in a quest to land Guy Ritchie, we both came to the realization that we knew the exact formula,” said David C. Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios. “With the extraordinary talent of Guy, Ronan, Jez and our incredible cast, we brought that vision to life.”

“TV was a brand-new world for me and I was reluctant to commit to a TV overall, but Chris, David, and the teams at Paramount and 101 Studios, completely changed my perspective with their bold creative vision and razor-sharp strategic insight,” said Butterworth. “Collaborating with Chris, David, Guy and our stellar cast has been nothing short of inspiring and I’m excited to dive into the second season of MobLand.”
