Mayor of Kingstown is coming back for season 4 very soon. Ahead of the season, we wanted to share what fans need to know about the new season of the Jeremy Renner and Taylor Sheridan's drama!
While it doesn’t get as much attention as other Paramount+ shows, Mayor of Kingstown has built up a faithful audience in its run. Set in the fictional town of Kingstown, Michigan, the McClusky family has long kept the tenuous peace between the cops, the various criminal gangs, and the prison that’s the backbone of the town's economy.
The series spotlights Mike McClusky (Jeremy Renner), who has to step up as the “mayor” of this town and has numerous problems. Season 3 had some dramatic turns for Mike (Spoiler alert!) and his allies. Prison warden Kareem was killed in a fight with some Aryans. Mike’s on/off lover, district attorney Evelyn told Mike she was going after his long-time friend Ian for using a whistleblower as a weapon against an enemy. Then, when Mike’s brother Kyle shot hot-tempered SWAT commando Robert, Evelyn decided to prosecute Mike for attempted murder.
There were also personal tragedies for Mike as he cleared the way for the Russians to be taken out, but lost his younger friend Iris to a drug overdose. Finally, Bunny took over the local gangs.

What to expect from Mayor of Kingstown season 4
Mayor of Kingstown season 4 opens with Mike trying to help Kyle, who ironically has to be an inmate at the prison where he was once a guard. Mike also has to deal with new warden Nina Hobbs, who won’t be manipulated like past wardens to bend to Mike’s will.
Meanwhile, the end of the Russian mafia means there’s a power vacuum in Kingstown’s criminal landscape that Bunny hopes to fill. Combine that with Mike’s problems with Evelyn, as his “mayorship” is going to be majorly challenged.
Watch the Mayor of Kingstown season 4 trailer
The show’s first trailer opens with Mike meeting Hobbs, who makes it clear that she’s not going to bow to his will but run the prison her own way. There are glimpses of Kyle in prison, while Bunny meets up with Frank Moses, who seems set to make his own power play in town.
There's plenty of drama as Mike clearly feels overwhelmed by all these challenges but doing his best to come out on top. We get a lot of action with plenty of gunfights, Mike doing his best to handle it all and hinting at some amazing drama to amp the series up.
Mayor of Kingstown season 4 premieres Sunday, Oct. 26, on Paramount+.
