Calling all crime drama lovers, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan have teamed up for what has to be the most anticipated series of the year - and it's coming to our screens this weekend. The pair are the couple to watch in Guy Ritchie’s epic new London-based Paramount+ series, MobLand.

The long-awaited series is centred around two warring families whose enterprises stretch across the globe, and the loyal "fixer" (played by Tom Hardy) who's charged with protecting one of them at all costs. Helen and Pierce - who, much to our delight, are also starring in The Thursday Murder Club together - play the head of one such family, Maeve and Conrad Harrigan, and the series is set to take them to some pretty dark places.

What is MobLand about?

The series has been described as "an electrifying, new global crime series," which centres around two warring families based in London and the fiercely loyal “fixer” tasked with protecting one of them.

Tom Hardy (who also has an executive producer credit along with Guy Ritchie) will star as Harry Da Souza, a professional conciliator on behalf of the Harrigan family, while Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren will play Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, the head of a very successful Irish crime family based in London and Harry’s bosses.

Joanne Froggatt stars as Harry's wife, Jan Da Souza, with Paddy Considine starring as the eldest Harrigan son, Kevin, Lara Pulver as Kevin's wife, Bella Harrigan and Anson Boon as Eddie Harrigan, Kevin and Bella’s rebellious son.

Pierce Brosnan recently shared his admiration for Helen Mirren in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "We enjoy each other’s company a lot," he said. "I’m a great admirer of Helen’s work. I think she’s a beautiful woman. I’ve admired her from afar for many years and my first movie was with her — but it wasn’t really with her. I was just somewhere in the film. It’s a movie called The Long Good Friday."

"She’s a powerhouse of a woman, a powerhouse of an actress," he added. "She’s got a lot of heart, a lot of soul. I love her to bits."
