This City Is Ours: A Crime Family Saga is an eight-episode crime drama that premiered on March 5, 2026, on AMC+.
The series follows the turmoil that ignites when notorious gang boss Ronnie, played by Sean Bean (Game of Thrones), steps back from his criminal empire. His withdrawal triggers a violent power struggle between his volatile son Jamie, played by Jack McMullen (Ford v Ferrari), and trusted lieutenant Michael, played by James Nelson-Joyce (A Thousand Blows), who sees an opportunity to claim control.
Michael faces pressure from both sides of the organization as he builds a life with his partner, Diana, played by Hannah Onslow (This Is Going to Hurt). As rivalries erupt and loyalties crumble, the family that controls the city’s cocaine trade spirals toward open war.
The supporting cast includes Laura Aikman (Gavin & Stacey), Kevin Harvey (Treason, Time), Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls), Mike Noble (The Long Shadow), Bobby Schofield (SAS Rogue Heroes), Darci Shaw (A Thousand Blows), and Stephen Walters (Slow Horses).
