Renewed: City on a Hill

US crime drama City On A Hill has been renewed for a third season.

Starring Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge, season three will be eight one-hour episodes and is set to resume production in New York later this year.

Executive produced by Tom Fontana (Homicide: Life on the Street, Oz), who also serves as showrunner, the third season will screen in 2022. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are also exec producers.

Season two of City On A Hill centred on a federal housing project in the Roxbury neighbourhood of Boston plagued with drug violence and a rightful distrust in local law enforcement. FBI agent Jackie Rohr (Bacon) works to exploit Boston’s defective criminal justice system in a desperate attempt to salvage his own career. Unfortunately for Jackie, assistant district attorney Decourcy Ward (Hodge) is onto his adversary’s latest misstep. In time, the personal antagonism between these two escalates to an all-out war between the offices of the U.S. Attorney and the Suffolk DA. No one is safe from the collateral damage. At the conclusion of season two, Decourcy pursues justice in and out of the courtroom and despite his manoeuvring, Jackie discovers that he can’t escape his past and gets ousted from the FBI.

Season two also stars Lauren E. Banks, Mark O’Brien, Amanda Clayton, Matthew Del Negro and Jill Hennessy with guest stars Pernell Walker, Lucia Ryan, Keiko Elizabeth, Kameron Kierce, Shannon Wallace, John Doman, and Michael O’Keefe.

In addition to Fontana, City On A Hill is executive produced by Jennifer Todd, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jorge Zamacona, Barry Levinson, Chuck MacLean and Michael Cuesta. Kevin Bacon, Aldis Hodge and Michele Giordano serve as co-executive producers.
