A spectacular warehouse explosion near London's River Thames marked a significant stunt for the upcoming series of MobLand. The dramatic event, directed by Guy Ritchie, sent flames and smoke high into the sky, astonishing local residents who initially mistook it for a genuine emergency. Emergency services were on standby as filming commenced for the second season of the Paramount+ crime drama.
The gritty series, which focuses on warring London crime families, is reportedly experiencing behind-the-scenes drama. Insiders suggest that relations between lead actors Tom Hardy and Dame Helen Mirren have become strained during production. Sources indicate that Dame Helen is growing frustrated with Hardy's attitude and punctuality on set, with a palpable tension reportedly affecting their scenes together.
The second season of MobLand is expected to continue the narrative from the first season's cliffhanger, where the Harrigan family emerged victorious over the Stevensons.

The series, launched in April, has garnered positive reviews, holding a 78 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
