The series and Mirren’s involvement in it may be over, but1923is far from the last installment in theYellowstonefranchise, withTaylor Sheridan already planning several more TV showsfor future release.

Fans Of 1923 Should Check Out Helen Mirren In Paramount+’s MobLand
MobLand Follows The Harrigan Crime Family And Their Fixer
After1923,MobLandputs Helen Mirren into a new type of role, though her character remains just as powerful and compelling. The series was created by Ronan Bennett and executive produced by Guy Richie, thoughMobLandhas already drawn comparisons to Sheridan’s shows. The new series shares many themes with Sheridan’s most popular shows, such as groups defending their territories or attempting to take control by force, elements of family drama, and violent confrontations. Despite their vastly different temporal and spatial settings, the two shows certainly appeal to the same audiences.
Much like Cara Dutton’s influence on her family, Maeve wields a lot of control over the Harrigan crime family and London’s criminal underground.
MobLandtakes place in modern-day London and focuses on the dealings of the influential crime family, the Harrigans, and their fixer, Harry Da Souza, as they attempt to outsmart ongoing threats to their power. As for Mirren herself, the talented actor portrays Maeve Harrigan inMobLand. Much like Cara Dutton’s influence on her family, Maeve wields a lot of control over the Harrigan crime family and London’s criminal underground. Despite her seemingly calm demeanor, she is the one calling the shots, and she knows where the bodies are buried.
Like 1923, MobLand Features An Impressive Cast Alongside Helen Mirren
Mirren Appears Alongside Tom Hardy And Pierce Brosnan
Just as1923boasted one of the most impressive casts of the entireYellowstonefranchise, with Harrison Ford, Timothy Dalton, Robert Patrick, and more appearing alongside Mirren,MobLandhas quite the impressive cast itself (even complete with another iteration of James Bond). Helen Mirren’s ruling status in the Harrigan family is matched byPierce Brosnan’s Conrad Harrigan as the patriarch. The duo play well together as the heads of the threatening crime family.
Why Conrad Killed Archie In MobLand & Was Maeve Lying To Him?
The first episode of Paramount+’s new crime drama MobLand ended with a shocking public murder that set the stage for the rest of the series.
In addition to Mirren and Brosnan,MobLandalso features Tom Hardy in a leading role as Harry Da Souza, the family’s fixer who often has problems of his own. Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Jasmine Jobson, and more also appear as part ofMobLand’s talented cast. With just two episodes out so far, it will be interesting to see howMobLandprogresses through its 10-episode season, hopefully continuing a promising follow-up to1923for Mirren.
