Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner is returning for a third season of Mayor of Kingstown, with Paramount+ officially renewing the gritty drama for season three. The streaming service’s announcement didn’t include a season three synopsis, cast details, or a targeted premiere date. Most productions are currently on hold as writers and actors battle the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) for better pay and restrictions on the use of AI.
Mayor of Kingstown was created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) and Hugh Dillon, with Sheridan, Dillon, Renner, Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Dave Erickson, and Regina Corrado executive producing. MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios produce the series.
Season two starred Renner as Mike McLusky, two-time Oscar winner Dianne Wiest (Bullets Over Broadway, Hannah and Her Sisters) as Miriam McLusky, Hugh Dillon as Ian, Taylor Handley as Kyle McLusky, Emma Laird as Iris, and Tobi Bamtefa as Deverin ‘Bunny’ Washington. Derek Webster is Stevie, Hamish Allan-Headley is Robert, Nishi Munshi is Tracy, and Aidan Gillen starred as Milo Sunter.
The 10-episode first season premiered in November 2021, followed by season two in January 2023. According to Paramount+, the series was one of the streaming service’s top-performing shows during season two. Only Sheridan’s 1923 and Tulsa King performed better during their seasons.
The Plot, Courtesy of Paramount+:
Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption, and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.
