Paramount+ has decided not to renew lead actor Tom Hardy for the upcoming third season of the British crime drama Mobland, following significant behind-the-scenes conflicts during production of season two, according to Puck News.
The streaming platform exercised a contractual exit after repeated tensions between Hardy and the creative team, including producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser.
