Paramount+ has dropped the first teaser for the fourth season of “Mayor of Kingstown,” the gritty crime saga that refuses to let its characters—or its audience—breathe easy. The new season arrives on Sunday, October 26th, with Jeremy Renner once again stepping into the worn shoes of Mike McLusky, a man trying to hold a town together with little more than grit and bloody knuckles.
But Mike’s stranglehold on the city is slipping. The Russians are gone, and their absence has cracked the streets wide open, leaving a vacuum that new predators are only too eager to fill. A gang war brews like a thunderhead, and Mike, haunted by ghosts that never stopped whispering in his ear, must wade back into the mire. To make matters worse, a defiant new prison warden isn’t making his balancing act any easier. The stakes? Only the town itself—and the lives of those he loves most.
The series, co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, has never shied away from peeling back the skin of America’s prison towns. Season four looks no different—though perhaps sharper, crueler. Alongside Renner, the show boasts an arsenal of talent: Edie Falco, Lennie James, Laura Benanti, Dillon himself, plus Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley and Nishi Munshi.
“Mayor of Kingstown” is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, Hugh Dillon, Jeremy Renner, Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Dave Erickson, Christoph Schrewe, Wendy Riss, Evan Perazzo and Keith Cox. Erickson also serves as showrunner for the series. It is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions, and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
For those not yet acquainted with Kingstown’s brand of purgatory, the first three seasons are waiting, crouched and ready, on Paramount+. Watch them now—before October drags you back into the crossfire.
