Does the dog die in MobLand? What animal lovers should know about Conrad's dogs before watching season 2
Conrad Harrigan loves his dogs more than he loves his children, and in MobLand, every soft spot eventually gets found.
MobLand season 2 premiered on Paramount+ on September 18, 2026. Tom Hardy is back as Harry Da Souza, the fixer who cleans up after the Harrigans, the London crime family run by Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and his wife, Maeve (Helen Mirren). This season, the family's problem is Frankie Cooper (Johnny Flynn), a newcomer who wants their business and doesn't mind how he gets it. The premiere is called "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and opens at a dog track, where Conrad and Maeve are due at a meeting.
The title is a warning.
Do Conrad's dogs die?
Yes. Conrad's bulldogs are killed in episode 6, "A Different Corner." Maeve's horses don't survive the same attack.
Conrad has spent a season and a half fussing over those dogs, and everyone around him knows it. Earlier in season 2, when Maeve suggests the dogs be put down, Paul panics, convinced Conrad would kill him if anything happened to them. Maeve turns out to be after something else, and the dogs are safe for a while.
How it happens
Frankie attacks the Harrigan estate in the Cotswolds. The family escapes by helicopter, and the dogs stay behind.
Frankie finds them sitting on the sofa. He feeds them biscuits dipped in milk, then shoots them with an Uzi. If you want to skip it, it's the opening of the episode.
Ready Steady Cut's recap wasn't impressed with the move.
Killing the dogs, the reviewer wrote, was "a good source of cheap heat."
Conrad doesn't recover. By episode 8, he's seeing the dead coming for him.

Who is Dog in MobLand?
Dog is a person: Harry's newest muscle, played by Tobi Bamtefa from Mayor of Kingstown. He doesn't last long either.
In episode 3, "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg," Frankie shows up to a sit-down with Harry alone, on an electric scooter. Dog pats him down at the door. Frankie slides his helmet under the table, offers to take over the whole business, and gets turned down. He walks out without the helmet.
At the end of the night, Dog is told to lock up. He picks up the helmet Frankie left behind, and it explodes, leveling the building.
Dog is the only one killed. The bomb had been under the table for the entire meeting.
