We Own This City Trailer #2 Sees Jon Bernthal Tearing Through Baltimore



The latest trailer for the upcoming HBO crime drama We Own This City gives us an extended look at the series as The Punisher star Jon Bernthal tears through the streets of Baltimore in the way that only he can. Based on the book of the same name by Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton, We Own This City sees those behind the seminal series The Wire, including David Simon and George Pelecanos, return to tell another powerful story of crime and corruption.

Celebrated actor Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, The Punisher) will lead We Own This City as Sgt. Wayne Jenkins of the Baltimore Police Department, the central figure in the sprawling federal corruption case that centered on the agency’s Gun Trace Task Force, a plainclothes unit that went completely rogue and began hunting and robbing citizens and drug dealers alike as decades of a relentless drug war and mass incarceration in Baltimore spun wildly out of control.

Based on this newly released trailer, which has been released via the official HBO YouTube channel, We Own This City will give Bernthal ample opportunity to once again demonstrate the magnetic intensity that has made him so sought-after in recent years, and which served him so well in the likes of The Walking Dead, The Punisher, Daredevil, Baby Driver, The Many Saints of Newark, and more. The series should be a real showcase for Bernthal’s unmatched talent, and will no doubt have fans of the actor flocking to see him put in what will surely be an award-worthy central performance.

Of course, this being an HBO series from the makers of The Wire, Bernthal will be backed up by an equally brilliant supporting cast that includes Josh Charles (The Good Wife, In Treatment), and Jamie Hector (BOSCH, The Wire). The rest of the supporting cast is made up of McKinley Belcher III, Dagmara Domińczyk, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Rob Brown, Don Harvey, David Corenswet, Larry Mitchell, Ian Duff, Delaney Williams, and Lucas Van Engen as well as guest stars, Treat Williams, Jermaine Crawford, Domenick Lombardozzi, among others.

We Own This City Wil Be a Limited Series & is Due to Premiere on HBO Later This Month

HBO

Developed and written by David Simon (The Wire) and George Pelecanos (The Deuce), We Own This City is directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green whose previous credits include Monsters and Men, Joe Bell, and the Academy Award-nominated King Richard starring Will Smith.

The series will also be executive produced by George Pelecanos and David Simon, with HBO describing We Own This City as “a six-hour, limited series chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force. It examines the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.”

A project from the makers of The Wire led by Jon Bernthal. What more could you ask for? We Own This City is set to premiere on HBO on April 25, 2022.
