Recent reports confirm that The City is Ours Season 2 is officially on floors and Shaun Evans and Alvaro Morte have joined the brilliant cast ensemble. Shaun Evans plays John Sweeney in Endeavour and Until I Kill You, while Álvaro Morte is known for his roles in Money Heist and Immaculate.
The City is Ours is a hit BBC crime drama created by Stephen Butchard, and as per recent reports, filming has started in Liverpool and Spain. This suggests that season 2 is not that far from its release. The City is Ours season 2 will follow Michael, who is a member of an organized crime, and falls in love with Diana, and ends up questioning his life choices.
Here is what we know about Shaun Evans and Alvaro Morte's roles in season 2 of the BBC series, The City is Ours
The official synopsis of The City is Ours, as per IMDb, reads,
"Michael, a longtime member of organized crime, falls in love with Diana, prompting him to reevaluate his life and contemplate a future beyond his criminal activities. His newfound love becomes both a motivation and a potential liability."
Season 2 is supposed to deepen the fallout of the previous season and introduce even larger stakes, including the criminal connections that tend to threaten the lives of Michael and Diana, and the balance they are trying to achieve. The synopsis suggests that season 2 will come with a new power struggle for Michael and Diana while also exploring their personal life struggles.
Shaun Evans will be playing Ozzie Thomas, a recently released old-school gangster from Ronnie's era. Thomas has returned to Liverpool after years in prison. His presence tends to bring new tensions into the underworld and will threaten the power and control of Michael. He believes the gang owes him a lot for his past loyalties and losses, and is also respected in the firm.
Alvaro Morte joins the cast ensemble as Felipe Guzman, a member of the Colombian cartel and younger brother of Ricardo, whose murder we see by the end of season 1. Felipe's storyline introduces some international connections of the cartel and will expand the scope and visual tapestry of the show beyond Liverpool. He is looking for some answers connected with Ricardo's death, and this is going to strike Michael and Diana anytime soon.
Alongside Shaun Evans and Alvaro Morte, James Nelson-Joyce appears as Michael Kavanagh, and Hannah Onslow as Diana Williams. Some returning cast members include Adam Abbou, Laura Aikman, Kevin Harvey, and Darci Shaw.
