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.
