Seen for the first time in these newly released pictures are new cast members Shaun Evans as former gangster Ozzie Thompson, recently out of prison, and Álvaro Morte as Felipe Guzman, a member of the Colombian cartel and younger brother of Ricardo, who was murdered at the end of the first series.

Series two picks up from where things were left at the end of series one. Michael and Diana have barely arrived in Spain when they are dragged back into the fold to answer questions around Ricardo’s death.

Back in Liverpool, tensions continue to bubble amongst the remaining members of the gang. Meanwhile, an old school gangster from Ronnie's era, recently out of prison, wants compensation from the firm.

Made by Left Bank Pictures, This City is Ours is created by Stephen Butchard, who serves as lead writer, with Robbie O'Neill writing a further episode. It's series produced by Simon Maloney, with Nathan Juckes producing block two, and Saul Dibb returning as lead director alongside John Hayes and Chris Baugh.

It's executive produced by Andy Harries, Rebecca Hodgson and Sian McWilliams for Left Bank Pictures, Stephen Butchard, Saul Dibb, and Jo McClellan for the BBC.
