The trailer for Guy Ritchie‘s Paramount+ series MobLand puts its cards on the table pretty quickly. Soundtracked with the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil,” the trailer features star Pierce Brosnan introducing his character via narration:
“Name’s Conrad Harrigan. Family man. And if you cross my family — well, you’d better pray,” Brosnan says, as the clip cuts to a house exploding.
MobLand, which also stars Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren, follows the London-based, Irish crime family headed by Brosnan’s Conrad as they fight for power within a global syndicate. Mirren plays Conrad’s wife, Maeve (“the brains behind the charm,” per Brosnan’s voice-over in the trailer), and Hardy is Harry Da Souza, the family’s fixer. Watch the trailer below.
The show’s cast also includes Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber.
MobLand was initially developed as a London-set Ray Donovan spinoff titled The Donovans. As the show progressed, however, it dropped the connection to the former Showtime series — and based on the trailer, it appears that Brosnan and Mirren’s characters will be at the center of the show as much as Hardy’s.
MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios are producing MobLand. Ritchie (who also directs) executive produces with Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, David C. Glasser, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari.
The series premieres March 30 on Paramount+ in the United States, Canada, U.K. and Australia. It will debut later this year in other countries.
