While originally intended as a prequel to the popular Showtime series Ray Donovan titled The Donovans, the upcoming crime drama series MobLand (not to be confused with the John Travolta action thriller film Mob Land) became a standalone series after much thought, leading to its move from Showtime to Paramount+. Created by Ronan Bennett, the gangster series is said to be a fast-paced thrill ride with a lot of brutality.
Guy Ritchie is attached to the upcoming project to direct some episodes, and he will also be serving as an executive producer alongside Bennett, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Ivan Atkinson, Keith Cox, Jez Butterworth, Kris Thykier, and Tom Hardy.

MobLand – Production Details (When & Where Was It Shot?)
MobLand began filming in London in November 2024. Part of Isle of Dogs in East London was closed off during production. Two notable events took place during the production of the series, the first one was that some thieves stole production equipment in broad daylight and later they came back and stole more leading to the firing of the security team. The other one was that the set construction company Helix 3D went bankrupt, leaving several crew members unpaid. While Hardy offered to pay the crew, the production company ultimately paid them.
