Tom Hardy's 2017 mystery thriller Taboo, co-written with his father Chips Hardy and Steven Knight and produced by Ridley Scott's Scott Free banner, is enjoying renewed popularity as it approaches its tenth anniversary, regularly appearing in the streaming top 10 on platforms including Peacock, Pluto TV and the Roku Channel. The eight-episode series remains a fan favourite despite having had only one season, and its resurgence comes amid a busy period of news around Hardy, including his other ongoing projects.

Reports had suggested Hardy was fired from MobLand following a dispute with a producer, but this has reportedly been resolved, and he is expected to return should the show be renewed for a third season; Season 2 premieres on 18 September. Separately, Hardy did not reprise his Peaky Blinders role of Alfie Solomons in the Netflix spin-off film The Immortal Man, released in March, with creator Steven Knight confirming the idea was considered but ultimately dropped. Talk of a potential Taboo Season 2 has persisted for years, with Hardy and Knight acknowledging discussions about the story, though no firm plans have been announced.
