'Mayor Of Kingstown' Season 3 Trailer Plows Into 'Next Level' Drug Warfare

 

Paramount+ has released the trailer for season 3 of hit drama Mayor of Kingstown starring Jeremy Renner, and revealed that the season will premiere Sunday June 2 in the United Stares and Canada and next day June 3 in the streamer’s international markets. It will be Renner’s first major output 17 months after his New Year’s Day 2022 snowplow accident at his Lake Tahoe property and the ensuing surgery for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries, with 30 broken bones.

The new season will see the Russian mob come into Kingstown following a series of devastating explosions. They exploit such vulnerability and open up operations, while a drug war rages inside and outside prison walls. The pressure builds on Mike McLusky (Renner) to end the war. Complications arise when a familiar face from his incarcerated past threatens to undermine the Mayor’s attempts to keep the peace. McLusky is the latest in his family to be Mayor, top power broker in the Michigan town. There, prison is the only profitable business as they attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither instead overrun with systemic racism, corruption and inequality.

The series also stars co-creator Hugh Dillon as Kingstown Police Detective Ian Ferguson, Taylor Handley as youngest McLuskey brother Kyle, Emma Laird as escort Iris, Tobi Bamtefa as Crips leader Deverin "Bunny" Washington, Derek Webster as ally KPD Detective Stevie, Nishi Munshi as Kyle’s wife Tracy, Hamish Allan-Headley as Sgt. Robert Sawyer, Aidan Gillen as Russian mobster Milo Sunter, and the newly-promoted Michael Beach as Kareem Moore, one of the town’s prison guard captains. The season will also see the returns of Natasha Marc as Cherry and Rob Kirkland as Police Captain Walter, with Richard Brake, Denny Love, and Paula Malcomson as the newest recurrers alongside the returning Nichole Galicia and Necar Zadegan as Rebecca and Evelyn Foley.

Dillon and other co-creator Taylor Sheridan also executive produce with executive-produce alongside Renner, Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Dave Erickson and Regina Corrado. The series is believed to be one of Paramount+’s top performing original dramas, only behind Sheridan’s 1923 and Tulsa King while in season.
