Showtime’s City on a Hill has made some additions to its cast for the third season. According to Deadline, joining the series alongside Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge is Corbin Bernsen (The Resident), Joanne Kelly (Godfather of Harlem) and Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters: Afterlife).
Season three will focus on “Boston’s high society Beacon Hill. Following his dismissal from the FBI, Jackie Rohr (Bacon) lands a lavish new gig running security for a wealthy family. Life is good until secrets begin to unravel. When an investigation opens – implicating local and federal authorities – assistant district attorney Decourcy Ward (Hodge) sees an opportunity to finally rip out the machinery perpetuating a broken system.”
Bernsen is Sinclair Dryden, “an old money Beacon Hill socialite and former outstanding FBI agent who has been a mentor to Jackie – but underneath the charm and charisma is a darker disposition.”
Kelly is Letitia, “the strong-willed wife of Sinclair who commands of a sharp sense of humor. Having come from hardship, Letitia is willing to accept compromises in her marriage to maintain her lavish lifestyle.”
Hudson is Franklin Ward, “the widowed father of Decourcy. A Baptist minister in Brooklyn who was once a commanding presence and authority, Franklin is fading because of declining health.”
Additionally, audiences will see more of Mark Ryder as Father Doyle with an expansion of his role. In the third season, “Diarmuid Doyle is on a sabbatical from the priesthood after a crisis of faith. Diarmuid remains active in the community, volunteering at a local community center, where he deepens his bond with Jenny Rohr (Jill Hennessy), all the while keeping his ties to the IRA a secret.”
City on a Hill season three will premiere in 2022.
