Mayor of Kingstown‘s Mike McLusky isn’t about to lose his crown without a fight, and we have your first look at Season 4 as part of Collider’s Exclusive Preview for the Fall TV season. We’ve teamed up with Paramount+ to bring you the first image of Jeremy Renner and Edie Falco together on screen — a tense face-off that sets the tone for the show’s return on October 26.
The photo captures McLusky in mid-motion, buttoning his jacket as if bracing for a verdict. Across the desk, Falco’s as-yet-unnamed character leans forward in an office stacked with overflowing files, a single desk lamp cutting through the shadows, and barred windows serving as a constant reminder of Kingstown’s grim reality. It’s a room where alliances are made and broken — and neither party looks ready to blink first. It’s a dark, grimy atmosphere, and you can tell some serious sh*t is about to go down.
The fourth season of the show marks the first time Renner and Falco have shared the screen, a pairing that has already brought in an exciting new dynamic to Taylor Sheridan’s dark, gritty drama. Falco joins the cast in a season that brings uneasy alliances and violent new enemies, alongside Lennie James (The Walking Dead) and Laura Benanti (The Gilded Age). James plays Frank Moses, a man who straddles the line between friend and foe, with ambitions that threaten to shake Kingstown’s fragile balance of power.
How Successful Is ‘Mayor of Kingstown’?
Since debuting in 2021, Mayor of Kingstown has been one of Paramount Network’s most-watched scripted series, drawing 2.6 million viewers for its simulcast premiere and remaining a reliable streaming hit. The show follows McLusky, the unofficial mayor of the fictional Kingstown, Michigan, as he navigates an uneasy truce between gangs, guards, prisoners, and police. Season 3 left the city reeling from multiple major deaths, setting the stage for a volatile fourth chapter.
Season 4 premieres in the middle of what might be the most Sheridan-packed fall yet, wedged between Tulsa King Season 3 in September and Landman in November. Translation: the King of Paramount+ is keeping his crown firmly in place — and this image makes it clear the fight for Kingstown is far from over.
Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest updates on the Taylor Sheridan universe, and be sure to check out Paramount+ on October 26 for the return of Mayor of Kingstown.
