Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage wrote the series and serve as executive producers. Jesse Peretz directed and executive produced, and Lis Rowinski is also credited as an executive producer.
Is there a City on Fire Season 2?
Apple’s current title, episode, and press records document the released eight-episode first season but do not announce a second season. Season 2 therefore remains unconfirmed; the absence of an announcement should not be read as a renewal or cancellation.
Where to watch City on Fire
The complete first season is available through Apple TV in supported storefronts. Availability can vary by country.
