‘City on a Hill,’ a Showtime drama executive produced by two native Massachusetts residents, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, is set in early 1990s Boston when a crime is on the rise and law enforcement is more likely to turn the other way or even participate in flagrant corruption. Until former Brooklyn lawyer DeCourcy Ward (Aldis Hodge) becomes Assistant District Attorney and partners with crooked but earnest FBI veteran Jackie Rohr (Kevin Bacon) to bring justice in Beantown. That’s when everything turns out for the better.
While “The Departed” and Affleck’s own Charlestown-centered film “The Town” have their admirers, “City on a Hill” has thick Boston accents, drinking, and intense armed robberies. A 76 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes was given to Season 1, while an AV Club reviewer said of Season 2’s March 2021 premiere, “the brazen confidence of Kevin Bacon’s Jackie Rohr” being the show’s “second sophomore session.”
Season 3 of “City on a Hill” is set to premiere in May 2021, which is when Season 2 ends.
City on a Hill Season 3 Release Date
“City on a Hill” Season 3 was greenlit in June 2021 by the Showtime network, which would have eight episodes. It was already a fair bet that the program would return, given its critical praise and the attractiveness of its actors Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge, even though the second season ended just a few weeks before the renewal announcement.
Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait as long as they did between Seasons 1 and 2 for Season 3. As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, the second season was not released until March of this year. The third season of the Showtime drama will be filmed in New York City in late 2021, Deadline reported at the time of the renewal announcement. That looks to be the case, based on a video update from the set sent by Bacon on Instagram in late2022. Season 3 of “City on a Hill” is expected to premiere in late 2022, according to Deadline, who first reported this in June.
City on a Hill Season 3 Cast
Season 3 of “City on a Hill” is anticipated to have a revolving door of the original actors. In light of Kevin Bacon’s Instagram activities, we know that he’s back as Jackie Rohr. As a result, it also feels secure enough to sleep in. Actresses Lauren E. Banks (Siobhan Quay) and Jill Hennessey (Jean Rohr) will reprise their roles in Season 3. After a brief appearance in Season 2, Mark Ryder’s Father Doyle will most likely return for a third season.
Amanda Clayton, who played Cathy Ryan on the program, is unlikely to return because her character appeared to have departed Boston and the show in Season 2 finale “Pax Bostonia.” Grace Campbell, played by Pernel Walker, may have had a role in the plot since she saw the terrible deaths of her two gang member sons, Anton and Kelvin. Even though Season 3 isn’t out yet, we may assume that both of the characters’ narratives have reached their inevitable end.

City on a Hill Season 3 Plot
While some characters are obviously stuck in the last episode of Season 2, “Pax Bostonia,” others are attempting to figure out how to go ahead. To the disappointment of her husband, DeCourcy (Aldis Hodge), it appears that Siobhan (Lauren E. Banks) will be working for the ACLU in Season 3, which will likely lead to their prolonged professional conflict.
In other news, FBI Agent Jackie Rohr (Kevin Bacon) is without a badge after throwing it into the lake, “Dirty Harry” style, at the end of the previous episode. As the series progresses, it’s possible that the agent will become increasingly more corrupt or perhaps abandon the Bureau and strike out on his own. After so many years of toeing the line between corruption and the law, it would be fascinating to watch Jackie as a rogue agent.
Both the IRA and the Catholic Church’s corruption were established in Season 2 and could be fully examined in Season 3 with respect to their relevance to Boston’s history. For the time being, Hulu has both seasons of the program available for viewing.
