Guy Ritchie's MobLand & The Gentlemen Crossover Chances Addressed By Cast

Jeff Dodge (he/him), a published author and graduate of Western Washington University, has been a TV news editor for many years and has had the chance to interview multiple reality show stars, including Randy Jackson, Nick Cannon, Heidi Klum, Mel B and John Cena. Fun Fact: he’s been to every single Idol Live! Tour.

Both MobLand and The Gentlemen recently premiered new seasons, and now some of the cast have revealed whether they want to see a crossover between the two Guy Ritchie shows.

There are clear similarities, as they are in the same genre and center on organized crime. In The Gentleman, Theo James stars as an Army captain who faces off against a criminal kingpin after the estate he inherited is connected to a cannabis empire, while MobLand follows Tom Hardy's character, a fixer who deals with conflicts between two crime families.

When asked by Radio Times about the possibility of a crossover someday, MobLand's Lara Pulver admitted such an idea likely wouldn't work because "they're really different worlds, even though they're both under Guy's umbrella." The Bella Harrigan actress said she would rather see her character's family competing on The Great British Bake Off. "That makes me laugh more," she added.

Lara Pulver: "I feel like they're really different worlds, even though they're both under Guy's umbrella. I prefer the idea of the Harrigans doing Bake Off. That makes me laugh more."

Expanding upon Pulver's comment that MobLand and The Gentlemen are in very different worlds, Johnny Flynn, who plays Frankie Cooper, said that Ritchie's world-building allows each of his shows and movies to be in their own "very different spaces."

Flynn has only seen "a bit" of The Gentlemen, which Ritchie created, but it "feels even further from reality, in a good way."

He's friends with Daniel Ings, who stars on The Gentlemen as Freddy Horniman, and admitted that it would be "really funny" to take part in that series, but echoing what Pulver said, "they do feel like slightly separate things."

Johnny Flynn: I've only seen a bit of the first series of Gentlemen. I think what's great about Guy’s world-building is that they are all very different spaces, whether it's Lock Stock or…and, in a funny way, despite MobLand being quite heightened in a way. It's like, really? Could that many people have been murdered in a shootout and you wouldn't hear about it on the news? – but The Gentleman has a sort of conceit, doesn't it, that it feels even further from reality, in a good way. My friend Dan Ings is in that show, he’s very funny. I mean, it'd be really fun to do that, but yeah, they do feel like slightly separate things."

There has never been confirmation that MobLand and The Gentlemen take place in the same universe, but the fact that the former streams on Netflix and the latter is on Paramount+ would complicate matters.

Crossovers between shows on different networks and/or streaming services have been done in the past, so it wouldn't be out of the question. Ritchie's involvement in both is the connecting thread that would make it possible, if it ever were to happen.

Ritchie is best known for directing movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Sherlock Holmes, The Gentlemen and the live-action Aladdin.

He created a spinoff series of The Gentlemen for Netflix in 2024 with cast members James, Ings, Kaya Scodelario, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito and Ray Winstone. The Gentlemen season 2 was just released on September 3 and is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 85%.

Then last year, Paramount+ and creator Ronan Bennett debuted MobLand, which Ritchie executive-produces. With a star-studded cast that includes Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Paddy Considine, the series has earned positive reviews but dealt with some behind-the-scenes drama involving Hardy that has since been resolved. MobLand season 2 premiered on September 18 and streams new episodes every Friday.

Despite their similarities, there are no plans for a crossover between MobLand and The Gentlemen, and even the actors are casting doubt on that possibility. So for the foreseeable future, fans will have to tune in to both Paramount+ and Netflix to get their separate fix of Guy Ritchie's acclaimed dramas.
