The gritty world of Mayor of Kingstown is officially returning for a fourth explosive season, Paramount+ has confirmed. Following the dramatic cliffhanger of season three, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the hit drama will continue to unravel the complex power dynamics of the Michigan prison town.
Jeremy Renner's Triumphant Return
At the heart of the confirmation is the welcome news of Jeremy Renner's full recovery and return as Mike McLusky. After his near-fatal snowplough accident in January 2023, which delayed production, Renner has made a remarkable comeback. Showrunner Hugh Dillon has confirmed the star is "stronger than ever" and ready to lead the series forward.
What to Expect in Season 4
While specific plot details remain under wraps, the season three finale left several burning questions. The fragile truce between the McLusky family, the prison gangs, and the police force has shattered, promising an all-out war for control of Kingstown.
We can expect the return of key cast members, including:
- Hugh Dillon as Sheriff Mike McLusky
- Emma Laird as Iris
- Derek Webster as Stevie
- Hamish Allan-Headley as Robert
- Tobi Bamtefa as Bunny
Production & Release Timeline
Filming for the new season is slated to begin in early 2025. While an official release date on Paramount+ hasn't been announced, a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere seems likely, given the production schedule.
This renewal solidifies Mayor of Kingstown's position as one of Paramount+'s flagship original series, continuing the successful collaboration with co-creator Taylor Sheridan.
