The BBC's biggest new drama of 2025, 'This City is Ours', is gearing up for an explosive second season with the addition of two high-profile cast members. According to the latest updates, Evans will be joining the returning cast as Ozzie Thomas, a recently released former gangster, while Morte has been cast as Felipe Guzman, a member of the Colombian cartel and the younger brother of Ricardo, who was murdered at the end of Season 1.
The new season is set to pick up immediately after the events of the first, with Michael Kavanagh (James Nelson-Joyce) and his partner Diana Williams (Hannah Onslow) being dragged back into the fold to answer questions around Ricardo's death. Meanwhile, tensions continue to bubble amongst the remaining members of the gang in Liverpool, and an old school gangster from Ronnie's era, recently out of prison, wants compensation from the firm.
Filming for the second season has already begun in and around Liverpool, England, with additional shooting taking place in Spain. The Stephen Butchard-created series, produced by Sony-owned Left Bank Pictures for BBC iPlayer and BBC One, has been a massive hit, averaging 5.8 million viewers in its debut season.
