Hardy’s commitment to ‘MobLand’ was the stated reason for ‘Taboo’ Season 2 delays, with the actor prioritizing the new series. Now that ‘MobLand’ ends after eight episodes, Hardy’s production slate opens for the BBC/FX co-production. ‘Taboo’ creator Steven Knight previously confirmed scripts are ready, awaiting Hardy’s availability.
The timing aligns with Hardy’s recent comments about revisiting Delaney, a character he co-created with his father, Chips Hardy. ‘Taboo’ Season 1 drew strong viewership and critical acclaim, earning a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score. A second season could capitalize on the growing appetite for dark historical dramas on streaming platforms.
Industry insiders suggest FX will fast-track ‘Taboo’ Season 2 to secure Hardy before other projects claim his time. The series’ unique blend of espionage, the occult, and 19th-century London remains a cult favorite. Revival would also strengthen FX’s slate amid increasing competition from Netflix and Apple TV+.
Power Move: Hardy’s exit from ‘MobLand’ isn’t a loss—it’s a strategic pivot. With ‘Taboo’ scripts ready and fan demand high, expect an official greenlight within six months. The actor’s star power will make Season 2 a must-watch event, potentially launching a franchise.
