BBC’s 3-Part MobLand Replacement This City Is Ours Officially Renewed for Season Three

Third season confirmed

The BBC has commissioned a third season of This City Is Ours, Deadline reported. The decision came less than a week before the drama’s second season was due to return.

The series was 2025’s biggest new drama launch, according to the report. Its first episode attracted nearly 8.5 million viewers.

Liverpool crime family drama

Created by Stephen Butchard for BBC One, the series is set in Liverpool. It centers on organized crime boss Ronnie Phelan, whose planned retirement sets off a violent contest for power.

Ronnie’s right-hand man, Michael Kavanagh, is played by James Nelson-Joyce, while Jack McMullen portrays Ronnie’s son, Jamie Phelan. Sean Bean plays Ronnie. Left Bank Pictures produces the series.

Season two returns soon

The show premiered on March 23, 2025, and received a second-season renewal in May. Its next season is scheduled to premiere on October 25, 2026. The series began streaming in the United States on AMC+ on March 5, 2026. The article describes it as a crime thriller for viewers drawn to Tom Hardy’s Paramount+ series MobLand, which is in its second season and has been renewed for a third.

Creator welcomes early renewal

Butchard said the team was determined to deliver more after the first season’s strong reception. He called the response “breathtaking,” and said he hoped the early third-season commission meant the team had come close to meeting that standard. The article also says the second season was due to return in a few days, while giving October 25, 2026, as its premiere date; those timing descriptions do not fully align.
