Tom Hardy is reportedly returning to MobLand for season three, despite behind-the-scenes drama on the show.
The future of Paramount+’s hit crime series hung in the air after reports of tension between Hardy, 48, and the show’s writer, executive producer and showrunner Jez Butterworth during season two of the show, with several outlets reporting that he had been fired.
However, Deadline reported Tuesday that the British actor will return to the show full-time and continue to star alongside Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
Hardy reportedly worked out his issues with Butterworth during a recent meeting in London where they came to an understanding about the future of the show, the outlet reported.
It comes after Mirren recently showed her support for Hardy, declaring, “As long as what’s on the screen is fantastic, I’m totally chilled with whatever, however anyone gets there.”
Paramount+ did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment on the news.
MobLand has not officially been renewed for a third season, but Deadline has reported that a writers room for future episodes had already opened ahead of the season two premiere.
News of tensions on set emerged last month with reports of Hardy being chronically late to shoots.
