Demi Moore kicked off the festival by sharing her thoughts on AI during a press conference.

Ronan Bennett, the creator of the acclaimed spy thriller The Day of the Jackal starring Eddie Redmayne, brings us MobLand, a hard-hitting crime drama featuring a fantastic cast including Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and Paddy Considine. Following a strong first season of 10 episodes, where Hardy played Harry Da Souza, the intimidating enforcer for the Harrigan crime family, the show has been renewed. However, recent behind-the-scenes changes have come to light, offering an early look at what’s in store before the scheduled 2026 return.
Now that Hardy is back for the second season of MobLand after the dramatic ending of season one, Harry Da Souza, a London crime fixer, faces even higher stakes. This season is particularly significant as the actor playing Hardy is expected to leave the show before season three. The series is also aiming to build on its impressive launch success on Paramount+ and attract even more viewers.

Critics can now share their reviews of the series, which premiered on May 27th. Initial reactions were positive, with 78% of the first nine critics recommending it. That number has since climbed to 88% based on 26 reviews.
The new series will have six episodes, taking place ten years after World War II and following the events of the recent Peaky Blinders movie, The Immortal Man.

Right from the start, the M-6 group seems to be winning. They landed their ships – which look a lot like Imperial Battle Fleet vessels – successfully and have secured control of the reactor complex. According to a report from the sergeant to command, they’re now prepared to begin fighting inside the complex. The only heartwarming moment was Marcus checking on Avery. Alex and Lily saw the M-6 ships land while returning from filming with Ollie, indicating it’s only been a few hours since Avery witnessed Sergeant Ruiz’s death at Kuznetsov Station. Understandably, she’s still deeply upset and angry with the people from Mars.
