Jeremy Renner’s crime drama Mayor of Kingstown will return for a third season, airing on Paramount+ on Sunday 2 June.
The series, created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, follows the McLusky family in Kingstown, Michigan. The town’s thriving industry is incarceration, and the family acts as a mediator between street gangs, prisoners, guards, and cops. Renner plays Mike McLusky, who takes over as mayor following his brother’s death.
Season three finds the town rocked by a series of explosions, as a new Russian mobster arrives and a drug war breaks out. Mike McLusky attempts to end the war but faces challenges of his own, including a familiar threat from his past.
The show has been a hit with viewers, though its second season premiered just two weeks after Renner suffered life-threatening injuries in a snowplow accident. Dillon, who also stars in the series, said Renner’s recovery and return to set was a relief.
Along with the core cast, including Dillon, Emma Laird, and Derek Webster, several new characters will be introduced in season three. These include imprisoned Aryan gang member Merle Callahan, played by Richard Brake, and Paula Malcomson as Anna Fletcher.
With production underway since January 2024, fans don’t have long to wait for the explosive new season.
