Among a slew of criminals and gangsters populating Paramount Plus’ streaming catalog, Mobland has stood out as a hit. The show broke a record as the service’s biggest global series launch ever, with 26 million views over its first season. Critics and fans have given it high marks. But now? There’s a problem. Apparently, Mobland has just lost its star.

According to a new report from the reliable Puck News, Tom Hardy has been fired from season 3 of the series ahead of its return. Why? There are a number of listed reasons, says the story:

Hardy was consistently late to production during season 2.
Hardy gave frequent script notes and changed dialogue.
Hardy was upset about the ensemble cast, including big names like Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
Hardy’s behavior led producer Jez Butterworth to nearly quit, and Paramount fired Hardy as a result.
