Apple TV+ will not pick up a second season of crime drama series “City on Fire.” Deadline reports the news which comes a month and a half after the series Season 1 finished its eight-episode run.
It is not surprising as the adaptation of the novel of the same name didn’t get a lot of buzz the way other recent Apple TV+ entries like Silo and Hijack have.
While City on Fire was ordered and marketed as a drama series, not a limited series, and there were seeds for a second season planted in the finale, viewers will not be left hanging as Season 1 covered the arc in the book.
City on Fire was produced by Apple Studios for Apple TV+
MacDailyNews Take: Back in May, Variety‘s Alison Herman wrote in her review of the series, “You don’t have to be a fan of the book to tell City on Fire has been yanked out of its natural habitat, then thrust into a context where it no longer makes sense.”

Hijack was a major disappointment. I think it was all about Idris Elba being the reason to watch. The plot is incredibly stupid and poorly thought out. Lots of feminist wokeness. And lots of just plain stupid scenarios. Boring and stupid.
The logic of the plot stretched credulity beyond the ordinary bounds of fiction, if that is even possible.
Was this an Antifa or BLM drama?
