The gist
The BBC renewed Liverpool crime drama This City Is Ours through season 3.
The renewal guarantees at least two more seasons of the Phelan family saga.
Background
This City Is Ours is a BBC series set in Liverpool's criminal underworld, following the Phelan family's gang and their fixers; it premiered in 2025 and was described as a contemporary successor to Peaky Blinders. Peaky Blinders was a six-season Netflix gangster saga set in post-World War I Birmingham following Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby, and the 2026 movie spinoff Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man effectively ended that story. The renewal news follows reports of a separate Peaky Blinders spin-off about a new generation of the Shelby family.
