Helen Mirren says anticipation builds before Pierce Brosnan’s big “MobLand” scenes

Helen Mirren says she can tell when her “MobLand” co-star Pierce Brosnan is preparing for a major scene, comparing the anticipation on set to a volcano about to erupt. The actors play married couple Maeve and Conrad Harrigan in season 2, now streaming on Paramount+.

Brosnan returned the praise, calling Mirren’s portrayal of Maeve exhilarating and highlighting her costumes and theatrical flair. The two previously worked together on the 2024 film adaptation of “The Thursday Murder Club.”
