MobLand Season 1 Ending Explained: What Happens To Harry

Updated Sep 17, 2026, 1:30 PM EDT Zach Moser has been writing for ScreenRant since 2022, covering movies, classic TV, and streaming TV. His areas of expertise cover a wide range of genres with a particular interest in horror and drama, and the conversations around the TV and film industry. When he's not covering the latest film releases or chronicling the latest season of a new show, he's writing humor pieces for McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Slackjaw, and Points In Case or working on short stories and his second novel. Warning: Major spoilers ahead for the season finale of MobLand The season finale of Ronan Bennett’s MobLand saw the war between the Harrigans and the Stevensons come to a sudden, violent end, and in the process, the key members of the Harrigan crime organization stepped into a bigger, more dangerous world. With Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and Maeve (Helen Mirren) behind bars, Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy) executed his master stroke to end the war with the Stevensons once and for all. En route to the explosive conclusion, several key mysteries surrounding the Harrigans' inner circle were solved, most notably the identity of the rat who had been feeding Richie (Geoff Bell) intel for months. Harry used Richie’s trust in the Harrigans’ own lawyer, O’Hara Delaney (Lisa Dwan), to set the South London crime boss and all his soldiers up, enabling Harry, Kevin (Paddy Considine), Paul (Emmett J. Scanlan), Zosia (Jasmine Jobson), and Kiko (Antonio González Guerrero) to take them all out in simultaneous ambushes. Elsewhere, Kevin makes his claim to the throne of the Harrigan criminal empire, refocused by the exorcism of his long-time tormentor, the prison guard Alan Rusby (Nigel Lindsay). After confirming that Eddie (Anson Boon) was in fact Conrad’s son with his wife, Bella (Lara Pulver), Kevin completely disowned Eddie, designating him Conrad’s problem and not his. While many of the mysteries of season 1 of MobLand were solved, and the conflict with the Stevensons brought to a close, the finale did plenty to set up season 2. The events of season 1 inadvertently pulled the Harrigans into a much larger criminal underworld than the London-based territories they shared with the Stevensons. Harry Is Stabbed By Jan The final scene of MobLand season 1 was much more intimate than the big action set pieces that dominated the middle stages of the final episode. It involved Harry returning to Jan (Joanne Froggatt) in the safe house, where she finally unleashed her rage, fear, and frustration with her and Gina’s (Teddie Allen) predicament of being trapped in their current dangerous lifestyle. In her frustration, Jan gets a bit too animated and accidentally stabs Harry in the chest with a kitchen knife. MobLand - Key Details Created By Streaming Network RT Tomatometer Score RT Popcornmeter Score Metacritic Score Metacritic User Score IMDB Rating Ronan Bennett Paramount+ 75% 75% 59 6.6/10 8.5/10 Given Tom Hardy’s prevalence in the show along with his calm and measured reaction to the stabbing, it was very possible that he would survive the stabbing, though fans were split at the time. It's since been revealed that Harry did in fact survive his domestic dispute. Why The Prisoners Cheer Conrad At the very end of the episode, Conrad exits his prison cell, surrounded by the other convicts in the prison. They meet him with cheering and applause, which Conrad absolutely soaks up, because, as has been made clear on several occasions, he cares about his own reputation above all else. As Conrad "100 Guns" Harrigan, he used to be the most feared crime lord in London, and undoubtedly earned the respect and admiration of criminals across the city. Now in prison with the rest of them, Conrad is celebrated for his decades of infamous malevolence. Maeve’s Series-Long Motivation Explained Admittedly, the reason for Maeve's incessant scheming is somewhat flimsy, and almost sounds as if she made it up on the spot. When she and Conrad talk on the burner phones they smuggled into their prison cells, Maeve says that everything she did, including sicking Eddie on Tommy Stevenson (Felix Edwards) and kicking off a war, anonymously calling the police to put them on Harry's trail, and providing Seraphina's (Mandeep Dhillon) location to Richie Stevenson himself, was all part of her own personal test. Maeve wanted to see which members of the family were worth building the future around. The finale also provides some much-needed context behind why Maeve was so attached to Eddie and hated Seraphina. Maeve always knew that Eddie was not actually her grandson, and got her hooks in him when he was not yet a teenager. She has essentially been grooming him as the heir to the Harrigan empire, which she cares about above all else. With Eddie in place, Maeve also has designs to make herself the queen of his kingdom, so that she can continue to be the power behind the crown; that wouldn't have been possible with an adult Seraphina at the head of the table. Is Kevin In Charge Of The Harrigan Empire Now? Kevin Harrigan's life has been tragic. He grew up with Conrad and Maeve as his parents in a crime organization. In prison from a young age, he was raped many times, which made him even more vulnerable to his evil father's will. Kevin was lied to about the real identity of his presumed son for years, and lived with a wife who pursued his best friend behind his back. The finale of MobLand saw Kevin begin to take back what's rightfully his, not only in terms of the Harrigan crime organization, but in control over his own life. With Conrad and Maeve still alive, Kevin's path to the throne won't be an easy one. He has Harry's love and respect, but he'll need to earn it from all the soldiers in the Harrigan crime organization if he is to truly rule the empire. Not only that, it will fall to Kevin to make his enemies and rivals respect and fear him. Richie might be gone, but Kevin now has bigger players like Jaime Lopez (Jordi Mollà) and Kat McAllister (Janet McTeer) to contend with. His last name will only take him so far; Kevin has to earn control over the Harrigan crime empire. MobLand's Finale Reveals What Bella's Story Was Really About The frustrating lack of elaboration on Bella's scheme involving her father, the Home Secretary (Steven Pacey), the Frenchman Antoine (Grégoire Colin), and his client (a sanctioned Syrian arms dealer) finally ended in the season finale. Through a series of background news broadcasts played on Bella's phone and computer, we learned that her father had been arrested for some sort of blackmail or illegal lobbying charges. Bella set the meeting with the arms dealer so that she could entrap her father with video evidence of his back-door dealings, all as vengeance for his rape and torment of her as a child. Why Harry Rejects Kat & How Will She Take Her Revenge? Harry sat down with Kat one-on-one in the season finale of MobLand, and sure enough, she called in one of the favors that Harry owed her after saving Seraphina's life in Antwerp and setting the meeting between Conrad and Jaime. Unfortunately, that favor was having Harry help her wipe out the remaining Harrigans so that Kat could take over the drug and gun trade in London. Harry flatly refuses out of sheer loyalty to the Harrigans in general, but specifically to his best friend Kevin, who was on Kat's list of people to kill. As has been established, Kat McAllister is one of the most powerful people in the criminal underworld, although the nature of her role or connections remains unclear. It was popularly theorized that she was some sort of intelligence operative for the CIA, MI6, etc., but the fact that she wanted to move in on the London drug and gun trade points to her being a significant crime lord herself. It's been established that owing her anything is a big mistake, but Harry has now painted a target on his back. Interestingly enough, Kat contacted Seraphina Harrigan during the season finale, which might be her play now that Harry has turned his back on her. Instead of wiping out the Harrigans en masse, Kat could look to place Seraphina at the head of the family as her puppet. Seraphina is an intelligent, unflinching businesswoman with the right last name and reputation in London, so she makes a ton of sense as an ally for Kat. She could be Kat's ultimate tool of revenge against Harry, undermining the Harrigan empire from within. What's Next For MobLand? MobLand returns for season 2 on September 18, 2026, on Paramount+ with 10 more episodes. The show has also been renewed for a third season, but conflicts between Hardy and the rest of the cast and crew have resulted in Hardy being dropped from the series. Though it looks like Hardy could find his way back into MobLand if he wished. Release Date March 30, 2025 Network Paramount+ Directors Daniel Syrkin Cast Pierce Brosnan Conrad Harrigan
