Tom Hardy’s Intense Thriller Officially Finds a Free Streaming Home

One of this season’s biggest returning streaming shows has continued to grip audiences for the past month. MobLand is one of the grittiest shows on streaming, and the second season hasn’t disappointed. Tom Hardy‘s Harry Da Souza has already been put through the toughest challenges and the biggest twists in the season’s first seven episodes, with this past Friday’s Episode 7, “Ace of Spades,” one of the most explosive yet.

For Pierce Brosnan‘s Conrad Harrigan, a family lockdown of their country property in the Cotswolds makes up most of Episode 7, following the attack on the estate in Episode 5, “Birdland.” All of this chaos and unmissable drama has proven a winning formula for the series, with Season 2’s 8.8 million global viewers during its first seven days — a 298% growth — helping establish the show as one of the biggest on Paramount+. The show has also proven a big hit with critics again, with Collider’s Therese Lacson calling it “even bigger and better than ever before” in her review.

But Hardy’s presence on the streaming charts isn’t limited to MobLand. Next month, his best performance in an impressive career so far is officially coming to a new streaming site. The film in question is Locke, a 2014 drama that features Hardy as the only on-screen actor, driving a car from Birmingham to London as his personal and professional life crumbles. Olivia Colman, Bill Milner, Andrew Scott, Ben Daniels, Ruth Wilson, and even our Friendly Neighborhood Spidey, Tom Holland, make voice appearances in Locke, but this is really Hardy’s film. Starting November 1, you’ll be able to stream Locke ​​​​​​for free on Plex.

‘Locke’ Was Directed by Bond’s Next Writer

Hardy teamed up with Steven Knight on Locke, the man behind the beloved Peaky Blinders franchise, in which Hardy portrays Alfie Solomons. Alongside 2019’s Serenity and his feature directorial debut, Hummingbird, this is one of only three directorial efforts for Knight, who is the man trusted with penning the next era of Bond following Amazon’s $1 billion acquisition of the iconic British institution.

Starting November 1, you’ll be able to stream Locke ​​​​​​for free on Plex. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.
