MobLand plot
MobLand follows two warring London-based organized crime families whose illegal activities cover most of the globe. As the families battle for power, a fiercely loyal fixer must protect one of them at all costs.
Hostilities commence after Eddie (Anson Boon), grandson of Irish mobster Conrad Harrigan (Brosnan) and his wife Maeve (Mirren), has a night out with Tommy, son of Conrad’s arch-rival Richie Stevenson (His Dark Materials’ Geoff Bell).
When a bloodstained Eddie returns home while Tommy disappears, Eddie’s father Kevin (House of the Dragon’s Paddy Considine) asks family fixer Harry (Tom Hardy) to cover his son’s tracks and deal with a furious Richie. However, Harry has family troubles of his own, with his wife Jan (Downton Abbey’s Joanne Froggatt) wanting the couple to have counselling.
Meanwhile, sensing a business opportunity, Conrad assembles his extended family for a meeting. But between the Harrigans’ three children and grandson, the question of who will inherit Conrad’s empire is at the back of everyone’s mind.

Anson Boon who plays Conrad's grandson Eddie told us: "The succession battle is what keeps them together but, at the same time, at each other’s throats."
For the 25-year-old working with so many big names was a thrill. "I still get goosebumps,’ he admits. ‘It’s the best cast I’ve been involved with, plus one of the best directors [Ritchie], as well as writer Ronan Bennett, who created Top Boy.’
Anson adds that acting alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren was an absolute pleasure.
"What stood out, working with two legends like that, is how playful they were," he reveals. "They would make us crack up all the time, and when you’re in a scene with them, you know something brilliantly unexpected is going to happen!|
