Pierce Brosnan discusses MobLand Season 2 anticipation, revealing his own curiosity about what lies ahead after the shocking Season 1 conclusion. With fans still digesting the dramatic finale, Brosnan, who plays the embattled crime boss Conrad Harrigan, candidly shared that he is kept in the dark about future developments, mirroring viewers’ suspense.
Brosnan Reflects on the Aftermath of Season 1
The conclusion of MobLand’s first season left both audiences and cast in a state of suspense, notably Pierce Brosnan, who portrays Conrad Harrigan—an Irish crime leader pushed to his limits. Despite his central role, Brosnan stated that he remains uninformed about the direction the potential second season may take. He shared that this uncertainty appeals to him, suggesting that discovering the plot in real time adds authenticity to the performance.
“I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen. I have some ideas in my head, but I have not expressed those to Guy Ritchie or to Jez Butterworth or Ronan Bennett, who are the writers. I have no idea. I don’t know. I mean, I didn’t know going in last time, so there’s a part of me that’s quite happy to let it all just unfold before me. Right now, I’m just feeding the chickens, I’m painting, I’m golfing, and that’s what I do — enjoying life.”

His comments came during a conversation with Taylor Gates from Collider, accompanied by Samuel L. Jackson, ahead of their collaboration in The Unholy Trinity. In a playful exchange, Jackson quipped:
“He’s never getting out of prison! Leave him alone!”

The Fallout from MobLand’s Dramatic Finale
Conrad Harrigan’s journey left an undeniable impact on MobLand, particularly as Season 1 wrapped with the episode titled The Beast in Me. The show delivered its hallmark blend of intense, Shakespearean drama, resulting in significant shifts within the Harrigan family’s empire. While both Conrad and Maeve, portrayed by Helen Mirren, were imprisoned, their confinement provided time for the family to regroup and retaliate, unmasking Lisa Dwan’s O’Hara as a traitor within their ranks.
In the aftermath, new leadership emerges as Kevin (Paddy Considine) and Harry (Tom Hardy) temporarily gain control, setting the stage for further discord. As Maeve maintains her position as a manipulator from behind bars, Eddie—played by Anson Boon—descends further into turmoil. Meanwhile, questions arise about Seraphina’s (Mandeep Dhillon) loyalty, and Janet McTeer’s Kat McAllister continues to exert influence from the shadows. Until official confirmation of another season, viewers can revisit the entire first season on Paramount+.
Upcoming Project: The Unholy Trinity
Beyond MobLand, Brosnan and Jackson have teamed up for The Unholy Trinity, a Western drama set in Montana during the 1870s. The narrative follows Henry Broadway (Brandon Lessard), whose father Isaac (Tim Daly) faces execution for a crime he swears he didn’t commit. Tasked with uncovering the truth and seeking retribution, Henry returns to Trinity, only to become entangled in a tense conflict between Brosnan’s character, Sheriff Gabriel Dove, and Jackson’s enigmatic outlaw, St. Christopher. The film, directed by Richard Gray and written by Lee Zachariah, debuted at the Zurich Film Festival in October 2024 and will hit U.S. theaters on June 13, 2025.
Cast Members in Key Roles
MobLand showcases a talented ensemble, with Tom Hardy depicting Harry Da Souza and Pierce Brosnan anchoring the series as Conrad Harrigan. Their portrayals have been central to the evolving narrative, which also features Helen Mirren, Janet McTeer, Paddy Considine, Anson Boon, Lisa Dwan, and Mandeep Dhillon in prominent roles.
As anticipation builds for MobLand’s renewal, speculation continues regarding the fate of the Harrigan crime family and whether Conrad or Maeve might reclaim control or break free. While fans await news of a second season, Brosnan’s relaxed but invested outlook—balancing curiosity with patience—mirrors the mood shared by many viewers. Whether new alliances emerge or rivalries take a darker turn, the path forward ensures the story of MobLand remains fraught with intensity and suspense.
