'MobLand' season 2 kicks things off with a bang in a bloody season premiere and the return of Tom Hardy
And if you didn't know about the drama surrounding this show in the lead-up to its release, you'd assume everything was fine behind the scenes. Season 2 picks up right where we left off, as if it was just yesterday that we got the season 1 finale.That includes Tom Hardy being front and center in this episode, which wasn't always a guarantee. A reported spat between him and showrunner Jez Butterworth led to rumors that Hardy had been fired from the show.
