  "textContent": "\n\n\nTom Hardy has allegedly been removed from the Paramount+ crime drama MobLand prior to its third season, following reported disputes with the production team during filming of the second series.\n\nSources have claimed that the streaming service recently decided against bringing the 48-year-old actor back for another run of the show.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nA writer at Puck wrote in the outlet's newsletter: \"I'm told Paramount recently opted not to pick up Hardy for season three after his clashes with producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser, among others, during the recent production of season two.\"\n\nMr Hardy leads the cast as Harry Da Souza, a fixer working for the Harrigan crime family.\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe report alleged that Mr Hardy was frequently late arriving on set during production of the second season.\n\nHe is also said to have regularly offered notes on scripts and attempted to alter dialogue.\n\nAdditionally, the actor is said to have voiced his unhappiness that a series originally centred on his character was increasingly shifting towards an ensemble format featuring Dame Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and other cast members.\n\nOne colleague who has worked with Mr Hardy on a separate project told Digital Spy: \"He is awkward for creatives to work with.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe second season was greenlit in June 2025, with filming having wrapped earlier this year.\n\nAccording to sources, the show's writer and executive producer, Mr Butterworth, threatened to leave the production before Paramount ultimately relieved Mr Hardy of his role.\n\nThe Puck report noted that Mr Hardy's contract included a mutual option for the third season, meaning he could have chosen to depart voluntarily had he wished.\n\nThe series, created and co-written by Ronan Bennett, premiered in March last year and drew 8.8 million viewers during its debut week.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Brooklyn Beckham puts on brave face amid family row as he supports wife Nicola Peltz at career event\n  * ITV legend Judith Chalmers dies peacefully at home aged 90 as family releases emotional statement\n  * Phil Collins shares rare health update as singer addresses if he'll return to stage amid setbacks\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFans have reacted strongly to the reports, with many declaring they would abandon the series if Mr Hardy is no longer involved.\n\n\"Who's gonna tell them there is no need for a season 3 now?\" one fan penned on X, as another added: \"So, for 90% of viewers, the show ends with Season 2.\"\n\nA third wrote: \"Well the show's over then, he was literally the face of it.\"\n\nOthers, however, called out Mr Hardy for his alleged bad behaviour on set.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nOne critic wrote: \"Probably he sees himself as irreplaceable, that's why he had to argue with them and also be irresponsible to the rules of punctuality.\"\n\nAnother added: \"To be honest MobLand wasn't good because of Tom Hardy, it was good because of the characters and writing. Don't know why people get so attached to individual actors.\"\n\n\"This is either a messy exit… or the most Tom Hardy story ever told,\" another joked.\n\nOthers questioned how the production would handle Mr Hardy's absence, speculating whether his character would be recast or killed off.\n\nIt remains unclear how the actor's alleged departure will affect the third season.\n\nGB News has contacted Paramount and Mr Hardy for comment.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
