Mayor of Kingstown, the drama series from creators Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, arrives on Netflix on October 5, 2026, featuring its first four seasons. Led by Jeremy Renner, the show delves into the power struggles surrounding the prison system of a Michigan town.
In Kingstown, prisons are the town’s main economic engine. The McLusky family acts as the go-between among inmates, gangs, law enforcement, guards, and political leaders. After his brother’s death, Mike McLusky steps back into this unofficial mediator role.
Each season pits Mike against a new power dynamic. Rivalries among criminal organizations, tensions inside prisons, and corruption within the authorities force him to strike deals with adversaries whose interests are constantly shifting.
Season four sees Mike’s influence challenged after the departure of the Russians. New factions are vying to fill the void, while a prison warden seeks to assert his own authority. The cast includes Edie Falco, Lennie James, and Laura Benanti.
Jeremy Renner is joined throughout the series by Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley and Nishi Munshi. Produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions, the series is also associated with Paramount+.
The first four seasons of Mayor of Kingstown will land on Netflix starting October 5, 2026.
