City on a Hill Season 2 Release Date
Well, in August of 2019 it was revealed that the show will be returning for a second season but no specific date was given. However, we expect City on a Hill season 2 to release in June 2020, similar to the first season. The Presidents of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. Gary Levine, and Jana Winograd talked about it during the Television Critics Association’s Summer Press Tour. Levine said, “CITY ON A HILL is that addictive kind of meaty and messy show we love at SHOWTIME. With the inspired pairing of Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge and the inspired writing of Tom Fontana and Chuck MacLean, we believe there is a rich future for this compelling series.”

The premises of the show is very good. It set in the year 1990s Boston when the city was filled with violent criminals, encouraged by local law enforcement agencies in which corruption, tribalism, and “taking it to the street” were the rule until it all changed. It is a fictional story of what is called the “Boston Miracle”.
