“Mayor of Kingstown” has been renewed for Season 4, Variety has learned.
The news comes roughly four months after the Season 3 finale of the Paramount+ drama series. It had long been rumored that a fourth season of the series was coming, with Paramount having opened a writers’ room for Season 4 back in October in anticipation of the renewal.
Jeremy Renner stars in the series as Mike McLusky alongside fellow cast members Hugh Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Derek Webster, Nichole Galicia and more.
The official description for Season 3 states, “In season three, a series of explosions rocked Kingstown and its citizens, as a new face of the Russian mob set up shop in the city, and a drug war raged inside and outside prison walls. The pressure was on Mike McLusky (Renner) to end the war but things got complicated when a familiar face from his incarcerated past threatened to undermine the Mayor’s attempts to keep the peace among all factions.”
Taylor Sheridan co-created “Mayor of Kingstown” with Dillon. Both serve as executive producers alongside Renner. Dave Erickson serves as executive producer and showrunner. Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Michael Friedman, Christoph Schrewe, Wendy Riss, Evan Perazzo and Keith Cox also executive produce. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions.
