Is It A Sequel To The Wire?
No. We Own This City isn’t necessarily a sequel to The Wire. The events transcribed in We Own Real-life events inspired this City. That being said, The Wire Creator did return for We Own This City, and several of the cast from The Wire was also cast for We Own This City. But they did not reprise their roles from The Wire in any way.
In a way, We own this City takes the messages from The Wire a little further. Even though the Gun Track Task Force had excellent arrest numbers, crime didn’t decrease. How will it be when the people in charge of preventing crime are doing it in the first place.
