This City is Ours follows the romance between Michael (Nelson-Joyce) and Diana (Onslow), set against the disintegration of Michael's crime gang.

The show "explores what happens when Ronnie's son Jamie (McMullen) decides he wants to inherit their kingdom and that there is no longer a place for Michael at the table. Both Michael and Jamie have bold ideas to modernize the gang and they will battle for control of it. But Michael's biggest battle will be to save the woman he loves and the child he has always wanted," an official synopsis reads.

Production is underway in Liverpool and Spain.

"It's an absolute honor to be a part of this exciting show. I knew from reading the first episode that I had to take on this compelling story of crime, loyalty and above all, love," Nelson-Joyce said.

This City is Ours will consist of eight episodes.
