Crime thrillers have accounted for some of Netflix’s biggest hits of the year. The streamer kicked off 2026 with the release of Harlan Coben‘s Run Away, which amassed roughly 40 million views and even outpaced Stranger Things on the charts. Despite drawing heavy criticism from fans, Coben’s follow-up thriller, I Will Find You, is currently delivering an even stronger streaming performance. The divisive series is now in contention to become Netflix’s most-watched crime drama of the year, a title currently held by His & Hers (starring Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson). With the genre continuing to dominate the platform, it’s no surprise that Netflix is doubling down on crime dramas. The streamer’s latest addition is a gritty crime saga that should appeal to fans of Peaky Blinders.
As part of its latest catalog reshuffle, Netflix is officially adding Paramount+’s hit crime drama MobLand to its library. Featuring a starry ensemble including Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, the series has been one of streaming’s biggest success stories since its debut in March 2025, consistently ranking among the most-watched shows even while off the air. That staying power is especially impressive given the competition. With Taylor Sheridan dominating Paramount’s crime drama landscape through hits like Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and, more recently, Marshals and Dutton Ranch, MobLand has continued to hold its own, regularly reappearing on streaming charts despite not releasing a new episode since its Season 1 finale more than a year ago.
What Is Tom Hardy’s ‘Mobland’ About?
Directed by Guy Ritchie and created by Ronan Bennett, MobLand sees Hardy as Harry Da Souza, a fixer for the powerful London crime family known as the Harrigans. When the family’s long-running feud with a rival syndicate threatens to spiral out of control, Harry relies on his street smarts and ruthless efficiency to keep an all-out gang war from erupting. Brosnan and Mirren play the heads of the Harrigan empire, while House of the Dragon star Paddy Considine portrays Kevin Harrigan, the patriarch’s son.
The crime drama has earned strong reviews from both critics and audiences, making it little surprise that Netflix is now bringing the series to an even wider audience. The streamer has added a countdown to its platform, confirming that MobLand Season 1 will begin streaming on July 1. The release, however, appears to be limited to international territories, with Paramount+ retaining the exclusive U.S. streaming rights.
The international rollout comes at a welcome time for the series, which recently found itself at the center of controversy after rumors claimed Hardy had been fired following an alleged altercation with one of the show’s producers. The reports sparked backlash from fans, many of whom threatened to boycott the series if the actor was written out. Those concerns have since been put to rest, with subsequent reports indicating that Hardy remains firmly attached to the show. He is confirmed to return for Season 2, slated to premiere later this year, and will reportedly also reprise the role in Season 3, which is already in development despite an official greenlight.
MobLand will stream internationally on Netflix on July 1 and is currently available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. As always, stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
