Mayor of Kingstown has been renewed for its fifth and final season.
Taylor Sheridan’s crime drama *Mayor of Kingstown* has been renewed for a fifth and final season on Paramount+, albeit with fewer episodes than before. The series, led by Jeremy Renner, recently wrapped up its fourth season with an action-filled finale, paving the way for Mike McLusky’s last stand in the upcoming season.
The show depicts the lives of Kingstown residents, where the prison industrial complex is the primary source of employment. An uneasy peace exists among various gangs, inmates, and prison guards, with the McLusky family exerting control over the town to prevent a street war. Renner plays Mike McLusky, the town’s unofficial mayor, as he attempts to manage the players involved while safeguarding his family.
In the fourth season, *The Sopranos* alum Edie Falco joined the cast as the new warden of the prison, clashing with McLusky due to their differing methods and objectives. Falco will return for season five, which will include eight episodes, shorter than the ten episodes featured in the previous four seasons.
The final season of *Mayor of Kingstown* coincides with Sheridan’s new deal with NBCUniversal, after spending several years building a significant TV empire at Paramount. He initially created *Yellowstone*, which has expanded into a franchise with prequels and upcoming spin-offs, followed by the development of *Tulsa King*, *Lioness*, *Mayor of Kingstown*, *Landman*, and the forthcoming *NOLA King*. Sheridan’s contract with Paramount lasts until 2029, allowing for the possibility of more seasons of his other series before his transition.
Mike’s grip on Kingstown is compromised as new contenders vie for the power left vacant by the Russians, forcing him to deal with the ensuing gang conflict and prevent them from taking over the town. Simultaneously, with his loved ones facing unprecedented danger, Mike must face a determined new warden to protect his own while battling his past demons.
*Mayor of Kingstown* season 4 features a cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Nishi Munshi, Hamish Allan-Headley, Michael Beach, Edie Falco, Lennie James, and Laura Benanti.
