Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's 'City on a Hill' Renewed for Season 2 by Showtime

Showtime has renewed its Kevin Bacon-led drama “City on a Hill” for a second season, the network announced Friday during the Television Critics Association press tour.

“‘City on a Hill’ is that addictive kind of meaty and messy show we love at Showtime,” said Showtime entertainment president Gary Levine. “With the inspired pairing of Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge and the inspired writing of Tom Fontana and Chuck MacLean, we believe there is a rich future for this compelling series.”

The drama stars Bacon as a corrupt FBI agent who teams with Aldis Hodge’s assistant district attorney. The first season sees the two take on a family of armored car robbers from Charlestown in a case that grows to involve, and ultimately subvert, the entire criminal justice system of Boston. It also stars Jonathan Tucker, Mark O’Brien, Jill Hennessy, Lauren E. Banks, Amanda Clayton, Kevin Chapman, Jere Shea and guest star Sarah Shahi.

“City on a Hill” was created by Chuck McLean and counts Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as executive producers, with James Mangold as a consulting producer. Tom Fontana serves as the showrunner. Jennifer Todd, Michael Cuesta and Barry Levinson serve as executive producers as well, with Bacon and Jorge Zamacona as co-executive producers.

The first season is set to finish its run on Aug. 18.

11 WWE Superstars With Their Own TV Shows (Photos)

These days, WWE Superstars don't just make their TV money through in-ring performances on "Raw," "SmackDown Live" and WWE Network pay-per-views -- there's an entire universe of opportunity for popular pro wrestlers to earn big bucks on the small screen.

In our gallery are 11 WWE wrestlers with their own television shows. We've included a few select series from recent years to help paint a picture of the non-canvas landscape. A few: "Straight Up Steve Austin," "Fight Like a Girl" and "The Big Show Show" have yet to premiere.

For the purposes of this story, we only counted the three people who appeared in all 111 episodes of "Total Divas" -- Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Natalya -- as it being *their* show, but we included the names of everyone who showed up in seven or more episodes of that one.
