Amid 'MobLand' Season 2 Rumors, Local Pub Has a 522 Percent Business Increase
When the Harrigan family decamped to their estate in the Cotswolds, it was hard to get out of the house and get a pint. In MobLand Season 1, characters go to specific pubs to make very big decisions. And, although a decision about MobLand Season 2 has yet to be made, enthusiasm for the show is very high. The proof? The real-life Cotswold pub from MobLand, the Falkland Arms, is suddenly seeing a big uptick in customers.
According to Holiday Lodges in the UK, business at the Falkland Arms is up 522 percent, all thanks to the fact that MobLand was filmed at the pub.
"There has definitely been a buzz amongst our customers. People want to know where each scene was shot and if they are sitting in Pierce's or Tom’s seat," Felicity, a manager at the Falkland Arms, told Holiday Lodges in a statement shared with Men's Journal.

Apparently, MobLand star and former James Bond himself, Pierce Brosnan, stopped by the Falkland Arms outside of filming. "Pierce did indeed stop by for a pint of Guinness," the statement read.
As of this writing, there's no word on whether or not Paramount+ is gearing up to renew MobLand for a second season. All the stars of the show who have spoken to Men's Journal all want to do a second season. "I'm sure whatever happens with the storylines will be really cool."
Mandeep Dhillon told Men's Journal before the finale. Meanwhile, Anson Boon is fully ready to explore the rest of Eddie's story in hypothetical Season 2, saying, "If we are lucky enough to do a Season 2 — which I'd love to do — I'm just really excited to see how this character can grow and what kind of man he could become."
MobLand Season 1 streams on Paramount+.
