“We are elated to greenlight a second season of this global phenomenon, which has dominated both domestic and international charts and soared to #1 in the United Kingdom.”
Glasser, who is the CEO of production company 101 Studios, added: “Mobland was one of those incredible moments where Chris McCarthy came to us with the vision of creating the next great mob series, and after traversing the UK countryside in a quest to land Guy Ritchie, we both came to the realization that we knew the exact formula.
“With the extraordinary talent of Guy, Ronan, Jez and our incredible cast, we brought that vision to life.”
