Season 1 of the crime series followed the head of a gang whose decision to retire sparks a ferocious battle for succession between Michael Kavanagh (James Nelson-Joyce) and Jamie Phelan (Jack McMullen), who both saw themselves as the natural successors.
So, with this in mind, its renewal shouldn’t prove too much of a surprise, especially after the BBC posted strong viewing figures throughout the eight-episode run – with many finding the show on iPlayer in the weeks since its debut.
Speaking of the series’s renewal, Stephen Butchard, This City Is Ours creator, lead writer and executive producer, said: "We have all been blown away by the incredibly positive response to This City Is Ours, I can’t thank the audience enough for their time and emotional investment.
Salt, director of BBC Drama, added: "This City Is Ours was one of our team’s first commissions when I joined the BBC, and I could not be happier with how Stephen, Saul [Dibb, director] and the Left Bank team have brought it to the screen so classily.
"I'm delighted that we now get to build on this fantastic first run and show that things are only just getting started for this very special series."
"The crew is incredible, brilliant writing, [filming] in Liverpool – it's a proper Christmas gift. So I wouldn't want to get my hopes built up to believing that we're going for a season 2, to then not get it," he revealed.
It seems the gods – well, the BBC – have listened.
