Taylor Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingstown is coming to an end, but not before a fifth and final season.
Paramount+ has renewed the Jeremy Renner-starring series for an eight-episode season five, which will mark its end. Mayor of Kingstown, co-created by Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, also stars Edie Falco.
The show is not concluding due to a lack of recent quality: Season four, which ended on Dec. 28, 2025, currently has a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes (though there were only five reviews). Season three had a good rating, but seasons one and two did not.
It could be concluding because Sheridan’s overall deal at Paramount Skydance is coming to an end — though his TV contract has a few more years left. How active he’ll be remains to be seen. Sheridan is moving his deal from Paramount to NBCUniversal, the film side, in mere months. Also, five seasons is just a good run for a TV show these days.
In season four, Mike’s (Renner) control over Kingstown is threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians’ wake, compelling him to confront the resulting gang war and stop them from swallowing the town. Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever before, Mike must contend with a headstrong new warden to protect his own while grappling with demons from his past.
Season four also starred Lennie James (read THR‘s spoiler finale postmortem with James), Laura Benanti, Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley and Nishi Munshi. It was executive produced by Sheridan, Dillon, Renner, Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Dave Erickson, Christoph Schrewe, Wendy Riss, Evan Perazzo and Keith Cox. Erickson is showrunner.
Mayor of Kingstown is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions. Itis distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
