This City Is Ours has been renewed through season 3 by the, locking in two more seasons for the Liverpool-set crime drama just as its first run is still unfolding. For viewers following the rise and fallout inside the city’s criminal underworld, the message is clear: the story is not ending with season 1.
That is why the Peaky Blinders successor show renewed news matters now. The series was launched in 2025 as a contemporary replacement for Peaky Blinders, and it is already being carried forward while audiences are still getting to know the players. Sean Bean stars as Ronnie Phelan, whose unexpected retirement throws Liverpool’s gangs into violent disarray, while James Nelson-Joyce plays Michael, a mob fixer trying to keep the peace between warring factions.
The comparison with Peaky Blinders is built into the show’s appeal, but the setting has shifted. Peaky Blinders was rooted in a deprived Birmingham after World War 1 and followed Tommy Shelby as he turned a street gang into a sophisticated crime syndicate over six seasons. This City Is Ours keeps the criminal ambition but moves it into a more contemporary, grounded register in Liverpool, where the first-season story begins with an internal power struggle rather than a clean handover of power.
That is also what gives the renewal its bite. The series is being extended while its central question is still unresolved: who will come out on top, and who will not make it out at all. The timing suggests the sees more than a one-season burst of interest in the drama, especially with viewers already making the connection to Peaky Blinders and to a darker, less glamorized take on the gangland formula.
The next confirmed step is simple enough. This City Is Ours will continue into seasons 2 and 3, giving the at least two more seasons to deepen the conflict around Ronnie Phelan, Michael and the fragile balance inside Liverpool’s criminal empire. No release dates for those seasons have been set.
