Paramount+ Renews Jeremy Renner and Taylor Sheridan's MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN for Season 2
Paramount+ has announced new seasons for Mayor of Kingstown, SEAL Team, and The Game. The only show that I watch of the three is Mayor of Kingstown, which comes from Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone). The first season of the series was so good, intense, and brutal, and I’m happy to see that it’s getting a second season.
Mayor of Kingstown stars Jeremy Renner and follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.
Tanya Giles, Chief Programming Officer at ViacomCBS Streaming said in a statement, “With Mayor of Kingstown, Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon offer a nuanced portrayal of the United States’ harsh prison system. The stellar crew and cast, including Jeremy Renner and Dianne Wiest, delivered a thought-provoking, intense drama that kept audiences captivated and yearning for more. We are thrilled to be the home of the expanding Taylor Sheridan Universe and we look forward to bringing fans back to Kingstown next season.”
Producer Antoine Fuqua said, “Mayor of Kingstown is such an important project that offers a comprehensive look into the brutal prison system and I am thrilled to continue the journey with Taylor and team for Season 2. Thank you to our partners at Paramount+, 101 Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios for believing in us to further explore this story.”
Producer David C. Glasser went on to add, “We are thrilled that shows like Mayor of Kingstown — original stories with layered characters and important themes — are able to thrive on Paramount+,. We can’t wait to delve back into the lives of the McLusky family for Season 2.”
As for SEAL Team, it stars David Boreanaz, and it’s getting a 10-episode sixth season. SEAL Team follows the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs, as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous, high-stakes missions our country can ask of them. Jason Hayes, Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley and Toni Trucks also star.
The Game is getting a second season, and it centers on Black culture through the prism of pro football. The Las Vegas-based team tackled a number of social issues and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect, and love — all while trying to maintain their souls as they each played The Game.
