9 Most Bingeworthy Miniseries of All Time, Ranked
There is little question that we’re living in the age of miniseries. This genre of television consists of shows that don’t want to commit to multiple seasons, and, instead, opt to tell their story in one short season, usually running no more than 12 episodes. The miniseries gained widespread notoriety in 1977, when the TV adaptation of Alex Haley’s best-selling novel Roots became a ratings juggernaut for ABC and took home nine Primetime Emmy Awards.
While there have been numerous miniseries that have garnered both critical and audience praise over the years, the genre really hit its peak with the rise in streaming, which allowed services such as Netflix to create one-off programming that could easily be consumed in a weekend, and there is little to suggest that this will be changing anytime soon. So, to honor the miniseries that reshaped the TV landscape, here are the most bingeable series that you can watch over-and-over again, and never feel like you have to poke your eyeballs out.

‘Little Fires Everywhere’ (2020)
Let’s rewind the clock back to March 2020. As bad as that year was health-wise, 2020 was a great year for miniseries, as people were ordered to stay at home and protect themselves and their loved ones from the “Virus That Shall Not Be Named.” Everyone was searching for the best series to binge while passing the “two weeks” it would take to “flatten the curve” (no need to explain how that worked out), and during this time, people tuned in to an eight-episode Hulu drama called Little Fires Everywhere, based off of the 2017 novel by Celeste Ng that told the story of two Cleveland-area mothers (Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington) from different backgrounds and how their fates intertwined with one-another.
There was something both sad and uplifting about Little Fires Everywhere, and Liz Tigelaar and her team did a great job in weaving a story about loss, secrets, identity, and hope, all the while exposing the myth that following the rules of society can avert disaster. If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend you do. It’s a tear-jerker, and a surprisingly bingeable series that will have you ugly-crying for a week.

‘Black Bird’ (2022)
True crime shows were made for the miniseries format. The story structure is tight, it’s engaging, and can easily be told in a nice, six-to-12 episode-long season with binge-watching opportunities oozing through the screen. This perfectly describes Apple TV’s Black Bird, which premiered in 2022, and is (rightfully) considered among the best modern true crime miniseries of our era.
Based on the 2010 autobiography In with the Devil: a Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption by James Keene and Hilel Levin, Black Bird follows Keene, a once-promising football player who gets recruited by the FBI while serving time in prison. Although this is a fictionalized version of the story, the series doesn’t deviate much from the book, and why should it? The true story of Jimmy Keene is fascinating, and Dennis Lehane did a great job in staying true to the book. Let’s also give a standing ovation to Taron Egerton, who portrayed the talkative Keene masterfully.

‘Watchmen’ (2019)
When HBO announced that they were making a TV series on the DC Comic Watchmen, the first thing that came to my attention-deficit mind was “why?” Did they not see the box office disaster that was Zack Snyder‘s 2009 version (even though I personally like it)? Why would HBO feel they would have better success than Warner Bros. did? Thankfully, when I watched the first episode in October 2019, I happily ate my words. Creator Damon Lindelof did an incredible job bringing Watchmen to life, and it was crystal clear that the story was better told in a TV format.
HBO’s Watchmen was a remix of sorts to the comic that gave birth to it; and, in my opinion, that is what made it work so much better than Snyder’s big-budget flop. Lindelof set off to create a new story that still stayed true to the Watchman universe, and we can’t overlook the binge-watching quality this series has, which is off-the-charts.
6
‘The Night Of’ (2016)
As I mentioned earlier in the Black Bird entry, true crime is a genre that was made for the miniseries format, and no streaming service or network realizes this more than HBO. In 2016, they released The Night Of, an Americanized version of the famed British series Criminal Justice. Here, John Turturro stars as John Stone, a lawyer who is hired to represent Nasir Khan (Riz Ahmed), a college student who is on trial for the murder of a woman on New York City’s Upper West Side.
The Night Of is filled with tension from the first episode to the series finale, and the cast is simply phenomenal, creating the tension that will grip you and won’t let go. No wonder this drama took home five Primetime Emmy Awards.
5
‘When They See Us’ (2019)
This Netflix drama is tough to watch, and you wouldn’t think that a series that is hard to swallow at times would make for a great bingeable series, but When They See Us is different. For starters, the topic is so unbelievable, it will take multiple views for everything to sink in. Created by Ava DuVernay, When They See Us is based on the real-life events of the Central Park 5, a group of five Black and latino males who were falsely accused and convicted of sexually assaulting a jogger in New York City’s Central Park.
The five were later exonerated and awarded a settlement from the city in 2014, but the miniseries does a good job of highlighting the injustices wrought by the judicial system against people of color. As mentioned earlier, When They See Us is tough to watch, especially for people of color like myself. It can be enraging, but it is a story that needed to be told, and DuVernay was the right person to tell it and bring this sad stain of judicial injustice back to light.
4
‘Adolescence’ (2025)
There is something rather chilling about watching a young child, who should be enjoying his youth, being questioned for murder. That was the feeling I got when I watched Adolescence, and it didn’t fade after watching the final episode. So, I watched it again. And again. And again.
Each time, it was just as chilling as the last. That’s how unsettling this psychological drama is, and also what makes it great. With each episode being shot in just one take, you really get a sense of just how intense and dreadful the search for the truth was. The spectacular cast really goes in and turns out captivating and chilling performances that will make your spine shiver.
3
‘WandaVision’ (2021)
What can you say about the MCU shows that haven’t already been said? They are not up to the same quality as the movies are (well, were), and most have been a bust, except for WandaVision. Released in 2021, WandaVision is one of the rare MCU shows that was actually worth watching. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany didn’t cut corners here, and give A+ performances reprising their roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision.
One of the ways WandaVision set itself apart from its counterparts was the way the showrunners and writers used sitcom tropes to tell its story. In fact, I’ll go to my grave professing that the pilot episode, “Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience,” is one of the best pilot episodes ever, and it set the series up for a tremendous finish. Thank God the producers didn’t make this a multiple-season show, it would have totally ruined the vibes.
2
‘Sharp Objects’ (2018)
OK, I’m going to do a hot take here. Sharp Objects stands on the same pedestal as Oz, Band of Brothers and The Wire as one of HBO’s greatest original series, and I stand on business with that. There is just something unique and thrilling about this Marti Noxon-created psychological drama that will have you keeping your hands off of the remote.
Based on the Gillian Flynn novel of the same name, Sharp Objects follows a troubled reporter, Camille (Amy Adams), who heads back to her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri to investigate the murder of two young girls. But this isn’t an ordinary reporting assignment for Camille, as she’s also forced to confront personal demons that she thought she long left behind when she left Wind Gap. Adams’ performance as Camille is truly spectacular, and it seems as if this role was specifically made with her in mind. Sharp Objects is dark, grim, and foreboding, and will leave you truly transfixed by this series for its entire eight-episode length.
1
‘Band of Brothers’ (2001)
For a war drama that premiered 25 years ago, Band of Brothers still gets praised as one of the best war shows of its time, and one of the best shows ever made, and it deserves that praise and then some. Created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, Band of Brothers follows a parachute unit during World War II as they train and head into battle to help the Allies defeat the Axis powers.
What makes Band of Brothers such a great miniseries is how real it all feels. It’s like we are right there on the field with East Company, experiencing everything they’re going through, and the hurdles they have to overcome while fighting in the war. All the events in Band of Brothers were based on actual events that happened during World War II, and everyone, from the cast to the crew, treated the source material with the respect it deserves. I’ll argue that Band of Brothers is just as, if not better, than any war movie, and if you’re looking for a show to binge-watch, this, along with the other shows on this list, should be teed up for your viewing pleasure.

Tamera Mowry is breaking her silence about her younger brother, Tahj Mowry, who has become the internet’s latest obsession. In a new interview, the “Real” alum spoke candidly about her brother’s physique, which has gotten many folks on social media riled up, as they’ve flooded his Instagram with thirsty comments in hopes of getting his attention.
Tamera, 47, spoke with Entertainment Tonight about her younger brother, 39, and how his looks have broken the internet.
“That’s weird,” Tamera, mother of two, said, adding that it’s hard for her to digest what’s been happening because Tahj is her family. “That’s my baby brother,” she said. “I changed his diapers.”
Despite social media lusting over Tahj, who rose to fame in the Disney series “Smart Guy,” Tamera said that she wasn’t surprised by the reaction.
“I saw him when he made up his mind, and he was like, ‘You know what, I want to start working out, I want to start eating healthy,’” she said. “And it inspired me.”
Tahj Mowry Has Broken The Internet With His Thirst Trap Pictures
Clearly, Tahj has been in the gym, as he’s showcased his rock-solid body and bulging muscles on Instagram over the last five months.
Most recently, Tahj shared a few snaps of himself posing in a skin-tight compression shirt, which highlighted his chest, shoulders, and biceps.
“Water break,” he captioned the carousel of photos. The reaction to his set of pictures was so intense that Tahj turned off the comments on the post.
However, Page Six captured the reaction beforehand and reported that everybody was talking, including Keke Palmer.
“U got everybody thirsty in the comments. How does it feel,” the “True Jackson, VP” alum reportedly wrote.
Other comments included, “I now identify as water,” and another said, “Not a snack, but a whole buffet. Tahj, you are FINE.”
After that post blew up, Tahj continued posting pictures on Instagram with his comments turned off.
A week ago, though, the actor uploaded a new series of pictures showing off his abs and muscular arms, with comments enabled.
However, Tahj told his followers with the photo’s caption to “keep it classy.”
“Y’all behave before we get in trouble again,” someone wrote.
While Tahj hasn’t spoken out about the recent attention he’s been receiving online, he did reveal in a previous interview that he’s received strange direct messages (DMs) from social media users.
“I get a lot of weird ones. Obviously, some of them I can’t repeat. I guess the weirdest ones that blow my mind…one of them is like the foot fetish, you know,” he told Glamour in 2021, explaining that a previous post opened the “floodgate of this whole new group of people.”
“You have no idea, and I’ve never even thought…. This just started happening recently. I posted, I think it was last year, a picture and my feet were barely visible,” he said.
While the attention might’ve been a bit unsettling, Tahj admitted that it “did make me feel good” in the moment.
“I’m not going to lie. I was kind of feeling myself for a little bit. Like, yeah, I do think I have nice feet. I had never experienced that level of the foot fetish community before,” he said, revealing that his post even made it to a popular celebrity foot account. “I was like, ‘Yo, I think I made it now.’”
Tahj Almost Returned To The ‘Fuller House’ Reboot, But This Stopped Him
In addition to appearing in “Smart Guy” and “Kim Possible,” Tahj also had a role in the classic “Full House.” When the show was rebooted as “Fuller House” on Netflix years later, Tahj said he almost revived his role.
However, because his character was closely tied to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s character, Michelle, producers said his appearance wouldn’t have made sense.
“I think when reboots happen, the organic-ness of it…you want to make it the most organic as possible and it wasn’t something that I wanted to force just for the sake of doing it,” Tahj told Hollywood Life. “I enjoyed watching it from afar and the fact that people were missing Teddy made me feel good as well. It wouldn’t have worked as well as it could if the twins were on the show.”
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his ex-fiancé, Sarah Jane Ramos, presented a united front in honor of their daughter Aurora’s first birthday party.
“How is this perfect baby 1 today?” Ramos, 32, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, May 22, sharing party pics. “Grateful for the best day celebrating her.”
In the image, Prescott, also 32, and Ramos stood side-by-side as their baby Aurora dug into a single-tear yellow cake. (Prescott held the pair’s eldest daughter, 2-year-old MJ, in his arms.)
Ramos also shared a handful of other family memories with Aurora.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, have called off their wedding, just weeks before they were set to tie the knot. A representative for Ramos confirmed the news to People on Monday, March 9, after reports emerged that they emailed their wedding guests to announce the ceremony had been canceled. […]
“A year ago, we were battling to get you earthside,” she captioned a hospital pic. “My little fighter. I love you so much, Aurora Rayne.”
Elsewhere at Aurora’s party, Prescott held his little girl as she handed Ramos a slice of cake.
“[Is that for] mama?” the NFL star asked the infant, also leading a round of cheers.
Prescott reposted Ramos’ birthday tribute to his Instagram Stories, adding, “Happy 1st to this special girl! You are loved. … Cute, sweet and tough!! You’re a special little girl. Love you, Roar.”
Ramos shared another tribute via her own account.
“My A-Rawr-A! A little smile that can light up a whole city 💞,” the proud mom gushed on Saturday, May 23. “The happiest girl with the sweetest soul who loves on her sister and anyone in her presence so effortlessly. I love you more than I’ll ever be able to put in words. Happy 1st Birthday, Rora girl. You changed my life forever and you’ll always be mommy’s baby.”
Sarah Jane Ramos, the estranged fiancée of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, is in a good place less than a month after their relationship imploded in dramatic fashion. Ramos and Prescott, both 32, are currently in the process of resolving their child custody issues outside of court, according to Page Six. The couple share daughters […]
Prescott and Ramos dated from 2023 to 2026, eventually calling off their engagement ahead of their would-be wedding day.
“There wasn’t any rockiness in the lead-up, and there was no big argument or blow up,” Ramos’ rep told People in March. “It was a mutual decision.”
Prescott publicly confirmed the breakup in a legal petition the next month, asking the court to make both parents joint conservators over MJ and Aurora.
“The parents of the children are separated. The appointment of the parents as joint managing conservators would be in the best interest of the children,” April court documents obtained by Us Weekly read. “It is in the best interest of the children that [Prescott and Ramos] be appointed joint managing conservators of the children.”
According to the filing, Prescott requested a judge to “make temporary orders” to ensure his daughters’ “safety and welfare.”
“[Prescott] prays that citation and notice issue as required by law and that the court enter its orders in accordance with the allegations contained in this petition,” the docs state. “[He] prays that the court, after notice and hearing, grant a temporary injunction enjoining [Ramos], in conformity with the allegations of this petition, from the acts set forth while this case is pending. [Prescott also] prays for general relief.”
The racing world continues to pay tribute to NASCAR legend Kyle Busch after his shocking and untimely death.
“A silent garage pays its respect as the No. 33 @RCRracing Chevrolet unloads at @CLTMotorSpdway,” the official NASCAR social media account wrote via X on Saturday, May 23, alongside a video showing the late driver’s team unloading his car at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The blue, white and red Chevrolet adorned with the Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen logo was unloaded in complete silence in honor of the driver, who died on Thursday, May 21, at the age of 41. The car’s number was changed from No. 8 to No. 33, though a small No. 8 decal was seen on the door of the vehicle.
On Friday, May 22, NASCAR announced that the RCR team “opted to shelf the No. 8″ that Busch last drove, switching to the car No. 33 for the foreseeable future. The team indicated it will reserve the No. 8 for Busch’s son, Brexton, “when he is ready.”
Details have emerged about the circumstances that led to the shocking death of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch. Busch “became unresponsive” while testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, on Wednesday, May 20, according to the Associated Press. The motorsports icon was then transported to a hospital in Charlotte, […]
NASCAR announced the two-time Cup Champion’s death on Thursday, hours after his family confirmed he had been hospitalized for a “serious illness.” He was 41.

“We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport’s greatest and fiercest drivers,” the organization said in a statement shared via X. “We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.”
The racer is survived by his wife, Samantha, and their two children: 11-year-old Brexton and their 4-year-old daughter, Lennix.
On Saturday, May 23, a rep for the Busch family confirmed to NBC News that the late athlete died of pneumonia that progressed “into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications.”
The final weeks of the racer’s life was marred by several health issues, even as Busch attempted to maintain his demanding NASCAR Cup Series schedule. During a Cup Series race at Watkins Glen in New York on May 10, Busch requested a doctor to come to his bus after he finished the race via his racecar radio audio.
“He’s the kindred doctor guy,” the racer was heard saying. “Tell him I need him after the race, please.”
Busch also notified his crew that he was going to “need a shot,” though he did manage to finish the race in eighth place. At the time, FOX’s commentary team told viewers that Busch was “suffering from a sinus cold,” exacerbated by the G-force the racer endured during the race itself.
On Thursday, his family stunned NASCAR fans when they announced that Busch was pulling out of his racing responsibilities as a result of his health issues. The late racer had not missed a race since 2015, when he skipped the first 11 races of the season after he suffered a compound leg fracture and broken foot.
Roommates, a terrifying situation rocked New York City on Friday afternoon at a Staten Island shipyard, and officials say it quickly turned deadly. Emergency crews rushed into the area as smoke poured into the sky and multiple explosions shook nearby businesses, all before officials confirmed the full scope of the situation. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani later addressed the chaos during an evening press conference, as residents tried to piece together exactly what happened.

Mamdani Speaks As Deadly Explosions Leave Dozens Injured
According to officials, one person was killed and at least 36 others were injured after a fire sparked two explosions inside a massive metal structure at the shipyard. Most of the injured were firefighters and first responders who rushed to the scene after calls came in around 3:30 p.m. reporting smoke and two workers trapped inside the building’s basement.
Fire crews reportedly arrived within six minutes, but moments later, the first explosion erupted, seriously injuring several FDNY members and civilians nearby. “This was a complex, fast-developing emergency situation,” New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed during a Friday evening news conference.
Second Explosion Severely Injures FDNY First Responders
Things reportedly escalated again when a second explosion hit while firefighters and rescue paramedics were actively searching for the trapped workers. Officials say five emergency responders were positioned inside, on top of, and near the structure when the blast happened. The explosion’s powerful shock wave struck a firefighter and a fire marshal inside the structure, leaving both with some of the most severe injuries.
FDNY Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Prezant revealed that the injured fire marshal remains in critical but stable condition after suffering a fractured skull and a small brain bleed. Meanwhile, doctors initially listed the firefighter injured in the blast in serious condition, but he improved and was doing much better by Friday evening. Authorities said more than 200 firefighters remained on-site Friday night as crews continued battling the fire while investigators prepared to determine what caused the explosions.
Witnesses Describe Terrifying Blasts At Historic Shipyard
Witnesses in the area reported hearing two loud blasts, followed by a massive shock wave that rattled nearby buildings. Several businesses—including a coffee roasting company and storage facilities—surround the shipyard area, which traces its history back to the Bethlehem Steel Company, which built Navy ships during World War II.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Lizzo is clearing the air and addressing the viral rumors that she dissed fellow musician Taylor Swift.
“The Life Of A Showgirl + MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING — 4.005M 👑,” an X user wrote on Friday, May 22, alongside footage from Lizzo’s “STFU” music video. “ICEMAN + MAID OF HONOUR + HABIBTI — 683k ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️.”
Lizzo, 38, replied to the tweet, asking, “Can someone explain what this means?”
A fan subsequently claimed that “all that s***-talking” Lizzo allegedly did about Swift, 36, “finally caught up” to her and impacted her My Face Hurts From Smiling record’s chart position.
Lizzo has made headlines over the years, both for her empowering music and controversial moments. In 2017 and 2019, the singer was accused of plagiarism by British singer Mina Lioness and producer Justin Raisen over her 2017 single “Truth Hurts.” The drama surrounded one of the song’s opening lines — “I just took a DNA […]
Lizzo clapped back at the implication.
“Are you well? First of all I have never talked s*** about Taylor Swift,” Lizzo tweeted on Saturday, May 23. “Also while we [are] on the subject I’ve never talked s*** about any artist. Just because I mention an artist by name does not mean I’m talking s*** — grow tf up pls.”
Lizzo has long been inspired by Swift, even finding a slew of similarities with the pop superstar.
“I’m Black Taylor Swift,” she quipped during a 2022 appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show, joking about how the two singers often pull from their personal lives in various songs. “I really am, I’m trifling.”
Both Lizzo and Swift are known for writing about their respective love lives.
“I don’t talk too badly about [an ex’s] character, it’s just what he do,” Lizzo explained at the time. “I’ll be like, ‘He’s a good person, but this is what he did. Am I tripping?’ They’d be like, ‘You’re not tripping, you’re not tripping.’”
Lizzo is opening up about how her plans for her music comeback have changed. The “Good as Hell” singer, 37, spoke about reentering the music industry after she was the subject of multiple harassment and hostile work environment lawsuits in an interview with Vulture published on Monday, September 8. “I put out those two singles, […]
Lizzo’s new single, “Bitch,” also takes inspiration from Swift.
“Shout-out to Meredith Brooks. I want the whole world to know that this is her record,” Lizzo said on the “Genius Verified” podcast earlier this month, revealing the new track interpolates Brooks’ ‘90s-era hit. “I feel like that would’ve gotten lost in translation a little bit. I was like, ‘This is Lizzo’s version.’”
Lizzo continued, “You know how it’s like, ‘Taylor’s Version?’ It’s like, ‘Bitch (Lizzo’s Version).’”
Swift re-recorded four of her past albums, save for Taylor Swift and Reputation, beginning in 2021 after the masters were sold from record label Big Machine to a third party. The 14-time Grammy winner was ultimately able to purchase her discography in May 2025.
“All I’ve ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership [and] with full autonomy,” Swift said in a statement at the time. “I will forever be grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me. The way they’ve handled every interaction we’ve had has been honest, fair and respectful. This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams.”
Drew Carey is slamming reality TV star Spencer Pratt as his candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles continues to gain momentum.
“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their ass,” the comedian and game show host wrote via Threads on Friday, May 22. “I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass.”
The actor continued, “F*** this guy already.”
The former U.S. Marine’s comments sparked a widespread response, with some fans praising the TV host, 68, for his political take while other condemned his social media rant.
Community alum Yvette Nicole Brown cannot believe notorious reality TV villain Spencer Pratt could pull ahead in the Los Angeles race for mayor. “This nation is unserious and has learned nothing. 💔,” Brown, 54, wrote via Threads on Friday, April 24, seemingly referring to President Donald Trump, a former reality TV star-turned-politician. Brown also reposted […]
“The is [sic] documentation of me never having to add Drew to the Spencer Pratt endorsement list,” Heather Ashley, host of the “Big Mad True Crime” podcast, wrote in response along with a checkmark emoji.

“You don’t have to hate him just to prove you’re liberal,” another social media user commented. “How about criticizing his policies?”
Pratt, 42, is running for L.A. mayor against Democratic incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and a slew of other mayoral hopefuls, including Nithya Raman, Adam Miller and others. The Hills alum claims he’s running as an “independent community advocate,” though he is a registered Republican with many ties to the conservative, right-wing and MAGA media spheres.
“Regardless of the outcome of Spencer Pratt’s race, what he’s doing is authentically American,” Erika Kirk, the widow of late Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk, wrote via X on Thursday, May 21, voicing her support for Pratt’s campaign.
“See a problem, become a part of the solution,” Erika, 37, continued. “His campaign ads are unconventional, but that’s the point; it’s refreshing. Instead of speaking like a career politician, he’s speaking as an American who sees and deeply understands how fragile the simple things in life are when leadership fails.”
Erika added, “This is what this country is all about. Citizens willing to step into the political arena, unafraid, and challenge a failing system, much like the one that has destroyed Los Angeles. I hope moments like this inspire more Americans to throw their names into the mix, run for office, get involved and stand up for what makes this country exceptional.”
Pratt, who is currently ranked second in the highly-contentious mayoral race after announcing his candidacy on the one-year anniversary of the deadly L.A. fires that destroyed the Palisades and Pratt’s home, also gained the support of President Donald Trump.
“I’d like to see him do well,” Trump 79, told reporters on Wednesday, May 20. “He’s a character. I assume he probably supports me. I heard he does [support me]. I heard he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well.”
More details related to Tom Hardy‘s alleged firing from “MobLand” have come to light amid claims he got into “clashes” with producers.
Reports highlighted that the producers decided not to continue with the actor for a third season of the show due to tensions and disagreements on set.
However, sources claim Tom Hardy also had a fraught relationship with a co-star when the cameras were off, describing his attitude on set as “arrogant.”
Hardy may have gotten into “clashes” with producers of his show, but insiders claim he also “enraged” his co-star, Dame Helen Mirren, with his attitude on set.
According to the Daily Mail, a source revealed that Mirren had her reservations about Hardy’s behavior on set.
“Tom’s character is charming. He’s the calm one, but it is quite the opposite when the cameras stop. Dame Helen is a joy; she is a total pro, and she has worked with so many people over the years,” the source noted.
The actress was said to be growing “frustrated” with how Hardy acted off camera, as he would sometimes be caught using his phone to play games when he was meant to be at a certain location.
“She is getting increasingly frustrated with Tom and his attitude. He can be late to filming, too, and that is annoying for Dame Helen, who is extremely professional and disciplined,” the insider alleged. “His tone is something Dame Helen doesn’t like, along with his lateness.”
“She expects better,” they added. “She holds people to a high standard. She’s 80. She’s been there and seen it all.”
Tom Hardy Was Described As ‘Very, Very Arrogant’
Speaking more on Hardy’s alleged on-set behavior, the insider described him as “arrogant,” claiming that his behavior began to affect Mirren, who no longer seemed happy working with him in the scenes they shared.
“The behind-the-scenes crew watch it all and believe that she no longer looks as happy working on scenes with him,” the source said. “It has all become quite personal between them.”
“It feels like Tom is winding her up,” they continued. “There is much chatter that he swaggers around like he’s the king. He is very, very arrogant. It’s a fantastic show, and everyone loves working on it. It’s such a shame there is this undertone.”
A Puck News report shared the news that Hardy will not return to the show where he plays the role of Fixer, Harry Da Souza, alongside Mirren and Pierce Brosnan, for a third season.
“I’m told Paramount recently opted not to pick up Hardy for season three,” the newsletter read, adding that “clashes with producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser, among others, during the recent production of season two,” led to the decision to fire the star.
‘MobLand’ Has Yet To Be Picked Up For A Third Season
Reports of Hardy’s firing have raised eyebrows for many reasons, but mostly due to the fact that a third season for the show has yet to be announced.
According to TMZ, sources stated that the door is not totally shut on Hardy, describing the current situation as “fluid” since the series hasn’t even been renewed yet.
To add to the confusing situation, a former British journalist, Scott Jones, shared in a viral X post that most of the show was filmed near where he lived, and he never noticed any sign of tension between Hardy and the showrunners.
“Tom Hardy was on set early doors (ask the Mums who were doing school drop-off) and often late into the evening,” Jones said. “I spoke to SCORES of crew, some main actors, and a handful of extras (some of whom I’m still in contact with), there was NEVER even a hint of this being an unhappy set.”
“This seems VERY odd,” he added about the report of Hardy’s firing from the show.
Tom Hardy Once Clashed With Charlize Theron
Mirren’s alleged frustration with Hardy mirrors reports of his clash with Oscar award winner, Charlize Theron, during the filming of their 2015 blockbuster, “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
The former co-stars were said to have been involved in several heated moments, with Theron reportedly being frustrated with Hardy for coming to set late, and once branding the actor a “f-cking c-nt.”
According to New York Times columnist Kyle Buchanan, Theron was also worried about Hardy’s “aggressive” behavior on set to the point that she requested for a female producer to be close by for her “protection.”
Hardy, for his part, later admitted that their fallout was somewhat his fault, noting that he was in over his “head in many ways.”
“The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times,” the actor told Buchanan, per Variety. “What she needed was a better, perhaps more experienced partner in me.”
The Actor Might Take A Long Break From Acting Due To Physical Issues
Prior to reports of Hardy’s firing, insiders claimed that the actor was considering taking a “major” break from Hollywood so he could rest and be with his loved ones.
A source told the Daily Mail in April that Hardy planned to “take a sabbatical,” adding that his schedule was clear as he had finished wrapping up filming of “MobLand” season two.
Hardy had also talked about the physical toll his acting roles had taken on his body in a chat with Esquire.
“I’ve had two knee surgeries now, my disc’s herniated in my back, I’ve got sciatica as well… It’s all falling to bits now, and it’s not going to get better,” Hardy told the publication, with sources later linking his desire for a break to his health remarks.
