Jeremy Renner has given fans of Taylor Sheridan's gritty crime drama Mayor of Kingstown a major update: filming on the show's fifth and final season is officially complete. The actor took to his personal Instagram over the weekend to share the news, signaling that the end of this intense saga is drawing near.
While Sheridan has been dominating 2026 with a slew of new projects—including the Yellowstone spin-offs Marshals, The Madison, and Dutton Ranch—Mayor of Kingstown remains one of his longest-running series, tied with Yellowstone at five seasons. The show, which Renner leads as fixer Mike McLusky, has carved out a dedicated fanbase despite not reaching the same mainstream heights as Yellowstone or Landman.
Set in a Michigan town where the prison system is the backbone of the local economy, Mayor of Kingstown follows McLusky as he navigates the treacherous balance between law enforcement, prison gangs, inmates, and politicians. The series, which also stars Edie Falco, has been praised for its unflinching look at institutional corruption—earning it comparisons to HBO's The Wire. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 64% critics' score and an 84% audience rating, cementing its status as a fan favorite.
Renner's update comes after Paramount+ renewed the series for a fifth and final season earlier this year. While no official release date has been announced, speculation is high that the season will debut before the end of 2026. Fans are eager to see how Sheridan and co-creator Hugh Dillon—who also stars as Ian Ferguson—will wrap up the story.
Sheridan's partnership with Renner dates back to the 2017 neo-Western Wind River, which also starred Elizabeth Olsen. That film showcased Sheridan's talent for crafting tense, character-driven crime stories—a skill he has fully realized in Mayor of Kingstown. The show's fifth season is expected to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the McLusky family's struggles.
For those who haven't caught up, all four seasons of Mayor of Kingstown are currently streaming on Paramount+. With filming now wrapped, the countdown to the final season has officially begun. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the premiere.
