“City of God: The Fight Rages On” has been renewed for a second season.

The news comes just days after the series debuted on HBO Latino and Max on August 25. The six-episode first season will continue to drop new episodes weekly on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with the second episode airing on September 1.

According to the official description, the series "follows the characters 20 years after the events of the famous film, through the lens of Wilson (Rocket), who returns to the community when the release of a young drug dealer from prison throws the City of God into disarray once again. Caught between drug dealers, militias and government agencies, the residents find themselves drawn to unite and confront their oppressors."

Alexandre Rodrigues reprised his role as Wilson from the original film "City of God", which itself was based on the novel of the same name by Paulo Lins. Several other cast members from the film also returned for the series. The cast includes Thiago Martins, Roberta Rodrigues, Sabrina Rosa, Wayne LeGette, Marcos Palmeira, Andréia Horta and Kiko Marques.
