Paramount+ has booked a springtime trip to MobLand. The Guy Ritchie crime drama, headlined by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, will premiere Sunday, March 30. The series’ trailer was released yesterday. “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,” according to the official logline. “Caught in the crossfire is Harry Da Souza (Hardy), 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.” Brosnan, meanwhile, plays Conrad Harrigan, the head of the Harrigan family for whom Harry works, while Mirren co-stars as Maeve Harrigan, Conrad’s wife and the Harrigan family matriarch. Rounding out the ensemble are Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber.

A sneak peek at the upcoming show MobLand is here! PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the first look photos from Guy Ritchie’s new Paramount+ crime-drama series, which is set to premiere on Sunday, March 30. Starring Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan, who plays “the head of an organized crime family,” MobLand will follow his character Conrad and the fight “for power within a global crime syndicate.” Paddy Considine (House Of The Dragon) will play Brosnan’s son and Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey) takes on the role of Hardy’s wife. Other cast members include Lara Pulver (Da Vinci’s Demons); Anson Boon (Pistol); Mandeep Dhillon (CSI: Vegas); Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy); Geoff Bell (Top Boy); Daniel Betts (Fate: The Winx Saga); Lisa Dwan (Blackshore); and Emily Barber (Industry).

Here are some exciting news courtesy The Hollywood Reporter: The star-studded organized crime series from filmmaker Guy Ritchie has landed on a title, as well as a premiere date on Paramount+. The drama is called MobLand, and it will debut March 30 on Paramount+ in the United States, Canada, U.K. and Australia, with other markets to follow later in the year. It’s a fairly quick turnaround for the show, which was announced (and in production) in late November. MobLand centers on an Irish crime family based in London, with Brosnan playing the head of the family, Conrad Harrigan. Mirren – who also stars in Paramount+’s Yellowstone prequel 1923 – plays family matriarch Maeve Harrigan, Conrad’s wife. Hardy plays Harry Da Souza, the Harrigans’ fixer. The cast also includes Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber. The show began its life as a spinoff of Showtime’s Ray Donovan, titled The Donovans. As it developed, however, MobLand dropped the connection to the former series and became its own thing – though it obviously shares a premise of following a crime family and its fixer. MobLand is one of several streaming projects Ritchie is attached to, along with Netflix’s The Gentlemen – which has been renewed for a second season – and the upcoming Young Sherlock at Prime Video. MobLand comes from MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.

According to Deadline, people who are missing their Yellowstone fix may be finding refuge in season two of 1923: Paramount+ reports that the season two premiere of the prequel averaged 5.4 million global viewers, up 146% from year one (2.2 million). The streamer also says the S2 opener that dropped Feb. 23 marked the biggest original premiere in Paramount+ history. Results are based on internal streaming data for premiere day including CTV viewing, O&Os, Apple, Roku and Amazon channels. The episode titled “The Killing Season” kicked off with the camera panning the snow-covered ranch made famous in Yellowstone, with Helen Mirren’s Cara Dutton narrating a letter to her son Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) about how it’s up to him to rebuild their little corner of the world after it’s been plagued with burdensome taxes. Cara and Jacob (Harrison Ford) are gutting out the winter while impatiently awaiting Spencer’s return with their son Jack (Darren Mann) and his wife Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph), last seen traipsing around in a bikini on Landman. Spencer is trying to get back home to Montana while his wife Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) sets off on her own trans-Atlantic journey to reunite with him. New episodes of 1923 will drop every Sunday exclusively on Paramount+. 1923 is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Ben Richardson, Michael Friedman and Keith Cox. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions.

The wait is over. After its first season bowed in 2022, “1923”‘s second season will premiere today on Paramoun+. Season 2 finds Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) preparing to hold off businessmen who want their land to bring tourism to Bozeman. Meanwhile, Spencer is fighting to both get back to help his family and also find his new wife, who was separated from him due to a duel gone bloody. The promotional tour this week has been quick and easy – and unfortunately we didn’t get much of Mirren. She missed the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday, but participated in a press junket with Harrison Ford that made it to Entertainment Tonight and TV Line, among others. A couple new pictures have been added as well, and I’m sure many more will follow once the show is running again. Critics for season 2 have been very positive so far, praising the cast and especially Ford and Mirren as the central heart and soul of the series. A compilation of reviews can be found below.

Screen Rant, Felipe Rangel: Mirren’s Cara Dutton remains the rock of the family. She takes control of adverse situations and alternates between a strong persona and moments of vulnerability that make her a compelling and well-rounded character. In interviews about the show, Mirren has talked about how co-star Harrison Ford had a change in his acting in the past few years, and it opened a new door to his inner feelings. That statement could not be more correct.

On Sunday, David Tennant was back hosting the EE BAFTA Film Awards for the second year in a row. The ceremony opened with a pre-recorded sketch that featured cameos from Helen Mirren, Jim Broadbent and Brian Cox as BAFTA Gods to pep him up for his hosting duties. It ended with Tennant singing The Proclaimers classic “(I’m Gonna Be) 500 Miles”, adjusting the chorus to “one BAFTAs more” and getting the likes of James McAvoy, Anna Kendrick and (upcoming “Thursday Murder Club” co-star) Celia Imrie involved in the chorus. A video of the opening segment can be found in the video archive. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

Exciting news courtesy The Hollywood Reporter: Kate Winslet is set to make her feature film directorial debut with the Netflix family drama “Goodbye June”. The Oscar winner will also produce and act in the movie, which will star Toni Collette, Johnny Flynn, Andrea Riseborough, Timothy Spall and Helen Mirren. Joe Anders, Winslet’s son with ex-husband Sam Mendes, wrote the screenplay and Kate Solomon will produce with Winslet. Netflix describes Goodbye June as a “touching, yet humorous” drama, “which sees a fractured group of siblings pull together under sudden and trying circumstances.” The England-set present-day drama will begin production soon in the U.K. Last year, Winslet explained she felt a sense of “urgency” and responsibility to women in Hollywood to step behind the camera. “So many people will say to me on film sets, people I work with and know well, whether it’s an actor or a crew member, they will say, ‘Why aren’t you directing?’ and I’ll go ‘No, no, no, please don’t say it. Stop saying it. Why does everyone keep saying it?’” she said. “But the more I’m not doing it now, with the need to change the culture, the more I feel like I’m actually letting down other women by not doing it. I’m really starting to feel that in quite a loud way.” She added of female directors, “The more of us that are doing it, the more will be inspiring others to do it.”
