Tom Hardy’s Taboo Hits Free Streaming Charts Following MobLand Premiere

Tom Hardy’s 2017 historical thriller Taboo is an eight-part series which features a gritty 19th-century setting. The series is one of the actor’s collaborations with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.

The interest in Hardy’s library coincides with the recent success of his Paramount+ crime thriller, MobLand, which premiered its second season on September 18, 2026. Starring alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, Hardy’s performance in the series has maintained his standing as a major draw for streaming audiences.

The success of the crime thriller has driven new interest in Hardy’s previous television projects.

Taboo was a collaborative effort between Tom Hardy, his father Chips Hardy, and Steven Knight. The series follows James Keziah Delaney, an adventurer who returns to London in 1814 to rebuild his father’s shipping empire while navigating a web of conspiracy involving the East India Company. While the first season originally aired years ago, the creators have continued to develop the story behind the scenes.

Status of Taboo Season 2

Fans of the series have long awaited a continuation of Delaney’s journey. As of January 2026, Steven Knight confirmed that production is moving forward, noting that six out of eight scripts for Taboo Season 2 have already been written. While a specific filming window has not been announced, the progress on the teleplays suggests that the creative team is preparing for an eventual return to the set.

Hardy’s ability to command high viewership follows a massive theatrical run for his recent film projects. The Venom movie trilogy, starring Hardy as the titular anti-hero Eddie Brock, has collectively grossed over $1.8 billion at the global box office as of late 2026. This box office power, paired with the cult status of Taboo and the current performance of MobLand, highlights a “Hardy effect” that continues to drive engagement across the entertainment landscape.
