help Mob City FAQ
Is Mob City based on a true story?
It's based on real events chronicled in John Buntin's nonfiction book 'L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America's Most Seductive City.' The show mixes fictional characters with historical figures like Bugsy Siegel and LAPD chief William Parker in 1940s Los Angeles.
Why was Mob City canceled after one season?
TNT aired only six episodes in December 2013 and declined to order more despite the show's high-profile creator, Frank Darabont, who was making his first TV project after leaving The Walking Dead. Ratings for the short winter run didn't justify a second season.
Who plays Bugsy Siegel in Mob City?
Edward Burns plays gangster Bugsy Siegel, while Jon Bernthal leads the cast as LAPD detective Joe Teague. Neal McDonough also appears as future chief William Parker.
Is Mob City connected to the L.A. Noire video game?
No, they're separate projects, though both draw on 1940s Los Angeles crime history. The series was reportedly retitled from 'L.A. Noir' specifically to avoid confusion with Rockstar's detective game L.A. Noire.
