Emily as Alice in MobLand
MobLand premiered on Paramount+ on March 30, 2025, and immediately captivated audiences with its storyline and exciting cast. Based in London, UK, this crime drama centers around a British crime family - the Harrigans, portrayed by Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren - and their fixer, Harry Da Souza, portrayed by Tom Hardy.
Created by Ronan Bennett, MobLand earned a rating of 8.3 on IMDb and 79% on the online review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes based on 34 critics' reviews. MobLand features 10 action-packed episodes, four of which have already aired on Paramount+. Guy Ritchie is part of the team of executive producers and has written some of the episodes.
Alice appears first in episode 1 of MobLand, which is titled Stick or Twist. Harry's wife, Jan (portrayed by Joanne Froggatt), befriends her at a group therapy session, and they connect over similar struggles with their respective husbands.
As the season continues, Alice and Jan grow closer, meeting over coffee and wine and chatting on the cold streets of London. Confident and witty, Alice begins to find herself slowly getting entangled in the drama and chaos that the Harrigans bring.
As Harry does his best to decrease the rising tensions between the Harrigans and other mobs of London, some lives are at risk if a gang war breaks out, including Jan and Alice's. But the fearless Alice is determined to stand by her friend.
The first four episodes of MobLand are now available to stream on Paramount+, with a new episode out every Sunday.
