The Characters of ‘MobLand’: A Breakdown of the Cast of the Paramount+ Series with Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren.

The newest captivating series on Paramount+ is called MobLand, and it boasts a stellar lineup of actors from both the big and small screens. The show features renowned names like Tom Hardy portraying the criminal “fixer” Harry Da Souza, Pierce Brosnan as his boss, the powerful crime lord Conrad Harrigan, and Dame Helen Mirren as the fearsome matriarch Maeve Harrigan. The cast of MobLand also includes familiar faces from popular shows such as House of the Dragon, Downton Abbey, and Sherlock, making it highly likely that viewers will recognize these characters from their favorite binge-watching sessions.

Originally intended as a spin-off of Ray Donovan, MobLand took on a life of its own under the creative vision of Ronan Bennett. The show is now a standalone original narrative set in present-day London. The first two episodes of MobLand are penned by Bennett and Jez Butterworth, with direction from the renowned filmmaker specializing in gangster themes, Guy Ritchie. The series delves into the aftermath of a chaotic night out by the Harrigan crime family’s troubled young member, Eddie Harrigan (played by Anson Boon), whose actions lead to a situation that Harry must resolve. Eddie’s actions may have unwittingly triggered a potentially disastrous conflict.

MobLand‘s cast is full of major movie stars, British drama mainstays, and up-and-coming talent. Here’s your guide to who’s who in MobLand:

• Character Analysis: Harry Da Souza in MobLand: In MobLand, Harry serves as the “fixer” for the Harrigan crime family, responsible for concealing crimes, carrying out tasks, eliminating adversaries, and committing various misdeeds on behalf of the Harrigan family. Harry is depicted as astute and lethal, with his vulnerabilities being his troubled marriage and his strong bond with his intelligent teenage daughter.

• Who is Maeve Harrigan in MobLand?: Maeve Harrigan is the formidable matriarch of the Harrigan clan. Although she seems initially a little daffy, it’s soon apparent that she’s the brains behind the operation — and that husband Conrad does her bidding. 

  Where You’ve Seen Helen Mirren: Dame Helen Mirren has been working on stage and on screen for over six decades. You might know her for her work on groundbreaking crime drama Prime Suspect, winning an Oscar starring in The Queen, or for sexing it up in everything from Caligula to Excalibur. She’s currently also playing another Irish matriarch in Paramount+’s 1923. 

• Who is Conrad Harrigan in MobLand?: Conrad Harrigan is the ruthless leader of the Harrigan gang, having built the family empire out of nothing. Now, he likes to enjoy the trappings of English country life on an estate called “The Cotswolds.” Nevertheless, he still has great ambitions for the future of his family.

  Where You’ve Seen Pierce Brosnan: Pierce Brosnan is perhaps most famous for playing James Bond in the ’90s, in films like GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. He’s also starred in the steamy remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, Mamma Mia! and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. You can also catch him right now in the slick Soderbergh spy thriller, Black Bag. 

• Who is Kevin Harrington in MobLand?: Kevin Harrington is the younger son of Maeve and Conrad. While we don’t learn much about him in early episodes, he is married to Bella and father to Eddie. He’s devoted to his family and seems to be pivotal to the Harrington family’s business.

• Who is Jan Da Souza in MobLand?: Jan Da Souza is Harry’s wife and the mother of their daughter Gina. When we first meet her in MobLand, she is exploring group therapy options. She is very keen on the idea of couples counseling with Harry, essentially saying it’s therapy or divorce. 

  Where You’ve Seen Joanne Froggatt: Joanna Froggatt is best known for playing the loyal ladies maid Anna in PBS’s massive hit Downton Abbey. When she’s not appearing in the show’s spin off films, Froggatt is also working on shows like Sherwood, North Shore, and Liar.

• Who is Eddie Harrigan in MobLand?: Eddie Harrigan is Kevin and Bella’s only son, ergo Conrad and Maeve’s grandson. He’s a bit of a spoiled party boy and his impulsive nature gets him — and the family — in trouble in the first episode of MobLand. 

  Where You’ve Seen Anson Boon: Anson Boon is a 25-year-old English actor who has appeared in films like Crawl, 1917, and Widow Clicquot. His splashiest role to date, however, is probably playing Johnny Rotten in FX’s Pistol.

Although she’s worked in tons of British TV, American viewers might best recognize her from 24: Live Another Day or CSI: Vegas.
