The series aired on Paramount+ in March and April and left fans on a cliffhanger regarding the future of some of its best-loved characters.
In a post on their social media accounts this week, Paramount+ confirmed a second series is on the cards.
“They may have won the battle, but will they win the war? Mobland will return for season two," they stated.
“Unfinished business never ends quietly," they added.
The series was created by Belfast author and screenwriter Ronan Bennett, who is also an executive producer on the show.
Bennett co-writes the show with The Ferryman playwright Jez Buterworth.
Director Anthony Byrne, the Dubliner behind the likes of Say Nothing, Peaky Blinders and Love/Hate, directed four episodes of the first series, while Ritchie directed two.
Paramount have confirmed that the first series “scored 26 million viewers” for the channel.
“With more than 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph – driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances of Tom, Pierce, and Helen,” Paramount CEO Chris McCarthy, said.
“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 UK," he added.
