Get ready for a thrilling return to the world of This City is Ours, the award-winning drama series that has captivated audiences and critics alike. With the release of first-look pictures for series two, we're diving back into the intense and gripping narrative that left us on the edge of our seats.
This City is Ours, a BBC production, has already made a significant impact with its first season, earning nominations for Best Drama and Leading Actor at the BAFTA Television Awards. The series has proven to be a hit, attracting a massive audience of over 6 million viewers on average, with the first episode alone drawing in more than 8 million viewers. It's safe to say that this show has a dedicated and growing fan base.
A Star-Studded Cast Returns
The cast of This City is Ours is a powerhouse, led by the talented James Nelson-Joyce, who won the Best Breakthrough Talent Award for his role as Michael Kavanagh. He's joined by Hannah Onslow as Diana Williams, Michael's partner, and a host of other returning cast members, including Jack McMullen, Mike Noble, Julie Graham, and many more. These actors bring their characters to life, creating a rich and complex web of relationships and storylines.
New Faces, New Threats
But it's not just the returning cast that has us excited. The newly released pictures introduce us to some intriguing new characters, played by Shaun Evans and Álvaro Morte. Evans portrays Ozzie Thompson, a former gangster recently released from prison, while Morte takes on the role of Felipe Guzman, a member of the Colombian cartel and the younger brother of a key character from the first series. These new additions promise to bring fresh dynamics and conflicts to the story, as Michael and Diana find themselves entangled in a web of questions surrounding Ricardo's death.
Picking Up the Threads
Series two picks up right where we left off, with Michael and Diana's arrival in Spain quickly interrupted by their involvement in Ricardo's death investigation. Meanwhile, back in Liverpool, tensions among the remaining gang members continue to simmer. And if that wasn't enough, an old-school gangster, also recently released from prison, seeks compensation from the firm, adding another layer of complexity to the narrative.
A Production Team to Match
This City is Ours is not just about the talented cast; it's also a testament to the hard work and vision of its production team. Created and written by Stephen Butchard, the series is produced by Left Bank Pictures, with a stellar team of executive producers, directors, and producers. The series is filmed in and around Liverpool, with additional scenes shot in Spain, adding an authentic and immersive feel to the story.
A Compelling Return
With its gripping storyline, stellar cast, and talented production team, This City is Ours is set to deliver another captivating season. As we eagerly await its autumn release on BBC iPlayer and BBC One, we can't help but speculate on the twists and turns that lie ahead. Will Michael and Diana find the answers they seek? How will the gang members navigate their tensions? And what role will the new characters play in this complex web of crime and drama? Personally, I can't wait to find out, and I'm sure many fans feel the same way. This City is Ours has proven itself to be a must-watch series, and I, for one, am excited to see what the future holds for its characters and the story as a whole.
