Guy Ritchie is one busy man, having his hands in multiple projects across film and television. His latest TV show is the upcoming crime drama MobLand, and once you learn more about it, you'll want to watch it right away. Fortunately, you won't have to wait long, as it will be released on Paramount+ this year.
You might know Ritchie from his work on movies such as Sherlock Holmes, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Gentlemen and Wrath of Man. Or maybe you watched his hit Netflix crime drama series The Gentlemen, which is a spinoff of his 2019 movie of the same title. Now, you have another thrilling Ritchie project to look forward to with MobLand.
When the new crime drama was first ordered in February 2024, it had a different title. Originally titled The Donovans, the show was intended to be loosely based on the popular Showtime series Ray Donovan, focusing on the lives of the Donovan family. However, the concept later evolved, leading to a reworked version now known as MobLand. The final iteration stands as a completely independent series with no connection at all to Ray Donovan.
Set in London, the story follows two feuding families with global business empires and a dedicated "fixer" whose duty is to protect one of them.
