As a fan who’s spent countless hours immersed in the raw, gritty reality portrayed by City of God, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming Season 2! The original film was a masterpiece that left an indelible mark on me, and the thought of revisiting those characters after two decades is nothing short of exhilarating.

This newly released TV show, premiering this month, is actually a continuation of the movie, which was based on Paulo Lins’ 1997 novel with the same title. The storyline picks up 20 years after the original film, focusing on Wilson (Rocket), who re-enters the community as a young drug dealer’s release from prison threatens to reignite conflict in “City of God” once more.

Mariano Cesar, Anouk Aaron, and Monica Albuquerque are the executive producers. The creative team consists of writers Sérgio Machado, Renata Di Carmo, Armando Praça, Estevão Ribeiro, Rodrigo Felha, and Aly Muritiba, with the latter also acting as the overall director.
