Paramount+ has renewed mayor of Kingstown, starring Jeremy Renner, for a second season by Paramount+. The recently announced second season will continue the investigation of the jail industry in Kingstown, Michigan. The town itself is where its economy is sustained only by the corrupt and unfair system.
Mayor of Kingstown’s season 2 renewal is unsurprising given that it is Paramount+’s second-most-watched original series, after only Yellowstone’s prequel series 1883.
The McLusky family is a powerhouse confronting systemic racism, corruption, and injustice in Kingstown, Michigan, where the sole flourishing industry is incarceration.
The drama series’ first season premiered in November, with the season finale airing in January. The series debut garnered 2.6 million viewers on the linear network, while the second episode drew 2.1 million. Mayor of Kingstown was also the most-watched scripted debut on the Paramount Network since 2018.
The sitcom was co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, who also serve as executive producers. In addition to playing a major role, Jeremy Renner acted as executive producer.
Along with MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, executive producers were Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, and Michael Friedman.
Taylor Sheridan previously spoke with Deadline about the second season of Mayor of Kingstown, which is part of his universe of programs, including Yellowstone, 1883, the impending Sylvester Stallone-led Kansas City, Bass Reeves Land Man, and Lioness.
When Will Mayor of Kingstown’s Second Season Premiere?
While fans have just recently gotten confirmation of the show’s second season, there are still no specifics regarding its release date.
Antoine Fuqua recently stated that he is “overjoyed” to continue working on season 2, stating that “Mayor of Kingstown is such an important project that provides a full insight inside the terrible jail system.”
Additionally, David C. Glasser emphasized how amazing it is that “series like Mayor of Kingstown – unique storylines with deep characters and significant ideas – can survive on Paramount+.”
“‘Mayor of Kingstown’ is an important project that looks at the terrible prison system. I am pleased to continue the adventure with Taylor and the rest of the cast and crew for Season 2,” Executive Producer Antoine Fuqua said.
“We’d want to express our gratitude to our collaborators at Paramount+, 101 Studios, and MTV Entertainment Studios for believing in us to pursue this tale further.”
Tanya Giles, Chief Programming Officer of Viacom CBS Streaming, added: “With Mayor of Kingstown, Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon present a nuanced portrait of the brutal jail system in the United States.”
The exceptional team and ensemble, Jeremy Renner and Dianne Wiest created a thought-provoking, compelling drama that captured moviegoers and left them wanting more.
