The source alleged, He refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a
time. He kept the cast waiting, [which is] a power play. Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide, I would wager. However, a separate source has since told Variety , Tom was not fired, the door is not closed for season 3 and things are being worked through creatively."

But what do the above tumultuous rumors really mean for a potential season 3 renewal? Opinion: Tom Hardy drama likely won't impact potential MobLand
season 3 renewal by Paramount+ (Image credit: Paramount) With a practical
head on, Hardy's rumors will likely not have much affect on the renewal of MobLand season 3. As we've seen with the likes of Kevin Costner in
Yellowstone , if a studio wants a new season of a show with high viewership figures and demand, they'll find a way to make it work, no matter who is in its cast.

Depending on how heavily Hardy is featured in season 2 would determine how easy a story change, or a write-out, would be. Hardy is also one of three A-Lister heavyweights that the show is focused on, and if Brosnan and Mirren stay put, the overall impact with audiences is likely to be minimized. What

If we take the rumors and sources at their word, all of this speculation will be for nothing. A renewal announcement will be made, episodes will be shot, and the leading trio will continue on as if headlines never existed in the first place.

If things change or are more unstable than they appear, a number of things could happen. Hardy could be recast, killed off or not even mentioned as the Harrigan crime dynasty takes a new shape. Worst case, the show gets canceled altogether.

My guess? The former. Experience tells us that rumors are hit and miss when
it comes to telling the truth, and there's enough staying in MobLand 's
favor, regardless of Hardy, for the Paramount+ show to continue.
