Created by the Gossip Girl team of Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage—and based on the 2015 novel by Garth Risk Hallberg—City on Fire centers on the shooting of an NYU student (Chase Sui Wonders) in Central Park in the summer of 2003. She, in turn, is connected to a wealthy real estate family with secrets to hide, the downtown music scene, and a mysterious string of fires that have been plaguing the city. Wyatt Oleff, Jemima Kirke, John Cameron Mitchell, Nico Tortorella, and Ashley Zukerman also star, while directors include Jesse Peretz (Girls, Our Idiot Brother). The series kicks off with a three-episode premiere, followed by five additional weekly installments.
