Paramount+ has officially greenlit a fourth season of Taylor Sheridan’s gritty crime drama Mayor of Kingstown. The renewal comes after a successful third season, which ranked as Paramount+’s top-performing original series during its run and reached 8.8 million households, demonstrating continued audience interest in the McLusky family saga.
This news will undoubtedly be a relief to fans who’ve been on edge since the explosive season three finale. That episode left Mike McLusky (Renner) in a precarious position, attempting to broker peace amid escalating gang violence and the introduction of a formidable new Russian mob boss. The season also saw the demise of several key characters, leaving viewers wondering what direction the series will take in season four and who from the ensemble cast—including Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, and Tobi Bamtefa—will return.
While the streamer hasn’t released a production start date or premiere window, the announcement itself signals confidence in the show’s future.
With season three concluding on a cliffhanger and several plot threads left dangling, the fourth season has plenty of material to explore. It seems likely the show will continue to examine the McLusky family’s complicated relationship with the prison system, the fragile balance of power in Kingstown, and the ripple effects of the ongoing drug war.
Mayor of Kingstown is co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, with Dave Erickson serving as showrunner.
