Tom Hardy Captured Filming MobLand Season Two in Hackney
Tom Hardy, the acclaimed actor, was recently seen on set in Hackney, shooting scenes for the highly anticipated second season of the drama series MobLand. The star, embodying his character Harry da Souza, a ruthless gangland fixer, was filmed outside a café on Hoxton Street on Thursday, March 5, surrounded by a bustling TV crew.
Fan Interactions and Co-Star Appearances
During breaks in filming, the 48-year-old actor, originally from Hammersmith, took time to engage with local fans, posing for photos and chatting with onlookers who gathered to witness the production. Earlier that day, Hardy was photographed alongside his co-star Emmett J. Scanlan, known for his role in Netflix's How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, as they entered a car while production staff from the Paramount+ hit worked diligently around them.
These scenes are part of MobLand season two, which is scheduled to premiere later this year, though an exact release date has not yet been confirmed by the streaming platform.
Previous Filming and Series Background
Hardy had previously been spotted on set with Joanne Froggatt, who portrays his on-screen wife Jan, in early February, where they filmed an intense moment against the backdrop of the River Thames. The second season of MobLand kicked off with scenes featuring Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren at the upscale Mayfair restaurant Scott's back in November.
First aired in 2025, MobLand follows the gripping conflict between two mob families, the Harrigans and the Stevensons, as they battle for power, threatening their very existence. Hardy's character, Harry Da Souza, is called upon to resolve a crisis after a night out goes wrong for the sons of the warring factions.
Cast and Production Success
The series boasts a star-studded cast, including Paddy Considine from House Of The Dragon and Jasmine Jobson from Top Boy. Since its debut, MobLand has garnered over 26 million views, delighting executive producer and director Guy Ritchie.
London's Thriving Film Scene
London continues to be a hotspot for film and television production, with recent sightings including Gary Oldman shooting scenes for Slow Horses in West London last month, where he was seen entering a Shepherd's Bush launderette as his character, gruff MI5 agent Jackson Lamb, for the Apple TV series. Additionally, Sandra Bullock was in town for the production of Practical Magic 2, which transformed a Worcester Park housing development into a New England-inspired seaside town.
