BBC’s Liverpool Crime Drama This City Is Ours has arrived across the pond to U.S. audiences. Beginning this Thursday, March 5, the series will premiere and subsequent weekly episodes will be dropped exclusively on AMC+, as detailed in a press release from AMC.
Originating from creator and lead writer Stephen Butchard (Five Daughters, The Last Kingdom), This City is Ours centers around the power struggle between retiring crime boss Ronnie Phelan (Sean Bean; Lord of the Rings, Troy), his right-hand lieutenant Michael Kavanagh (James Nelson-Joyce; Time, The Outlaws), and Phelan’s son Jamie (Jack McMullen; Brookside, Little Boy Blue).
While Michael strives for the powerful throne of the family controlling Liverpool’s cocaine, he finds himself locked in an internal struggle with the idea of a peaceful life with his partner Diana (Hannah Onslow; Unicorns, This Is Going to Hurt). Faced with a dangerous past that continues to haunt him and a future that could be everything he’s ever wanted, Michael is forced to decide whether he’s fighting for love or war.
Additional cast members include Laura Aikman (Casualty, Waterloo Road), Darci Shaw (The Irregulars, A Thousand Blows), Julie Graham (Doc Martin, Doctor Who), Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls, Upgraded), Kevin Harvey (Treason, Time), Bobby Schofield (The Suspect, SAS Rogue Heroes), Mike Noble (The Long Shadow, Shardlake), Stephen Walters (Anne, Slow Horses) and more.
The series made its home network debut on BBC last year in late March 2025 through April.
Robbie O’Neill (Boiling Point, Seconds Out) serves as writer on further episodes of the series besides Butchard. Executive producers include Rebecca Hodgson (Sherwood, Archie), Sian McWilliams (Humans, Dept. Q), and Andy Harries (Outlander, The Crown) for Left Bank Pictures as well as Director-EP Saul Dibb (The Duchess, Suite Française) with creator Butchard. John Hayes (Obituary, Redemption) and Eshref Reybrouck (Cheyenne & Lola, Undercover) are directing alongside Dibb. Serving as producer is Simon Maloney (Time, The Railway Man).
As stated in a press release from AMC, Season One of This City Is Ours: A Crime Family Saga will be released exclusively on AMC+, with new episodes dropping weekly.
