As the series continued, it was remade into a standalone series in October 2024, using the working titles The Associate and Fixer. In February 2025, it was revealed that the series had received its final title, MobLand, and had moved from Showtime to Paramount. The series was produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios. Production on the series began in November 2024 in London. Filming closed down part of the Isle of Dogs in East London, and during production, a bag of camera equipment was stolen from the set during the day. The thieves returned and successfully stole more equipment, leading to the dismissal and replacement of the security team on set.
