“I don’t want to give away any spoilers”: Jeremy Renner Reveals Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 Starts With Possible Death of a Major Character

Taylor Sheridanʼs curated storytelling has impacted the lives of audiences far and wide, but none have had the kind of cultural effect as Yellowstone and its spin-offs. However, Jeremy Rennerʼs Mayor of Kingstown might come a close second, considering the gruesome storyline that manages to strike a chord with the audience at a molecular level due to Rennerʼs personal and very real tragedy.

Considerably delayed after its Season 2 premiere due to the Marvel actorʼs nightmarish accident, the Paramount Network series now stands as one of the most anticipated works of cinematic storytelling via television. With Season 3 almost knocking at our doors, it is high time to dive into some plot details and teasers in the hopes of finding a couple of worthy spoilers for what is to come.

Jeremy Renner Teases Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 Plotline

Years of servitude under the Marvel contract have drilled the concept of delivering spoiler-free interviews into the franchiseʼs actors for the purpose of expertly dodging promotional press junket questions designed to draw out even the tiniest nugget of information about the upcoming story. But Jeremy Rennerʼs partial retirement from the industry might have set him back a pace or two.

During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, Jeremy Renner shared a tidbit of information after airing a brief teaser for Mayor of Kingstown Season 3. After being asked to divulge what the audiences can expect from the upcoming storyline, Renner claimed:

If you know [Mayor of Kingstown] and youʼre a fan of it, you know how it pulls no punches or it hits you right in the face sometimes. This season has a lot more of that, itʼs got some new bad guys. I donʼt wanna give away any spoilers but in the beginning, it starts off at a loss and the family unit goes awry. There is a lot more of that kind of intimacy, if you will, which I needed and I think a lot of people needed. So itʼs not just always explosions and fights and harrowing parts of a prison system.

In 2023, Jeremy Renner took to social media to promote the premiere of Mayor of Kingstown Season 2 from his hospital bed mere days after miraculously surviving a traumatic accident on New Yearʼs Day. A year and a half later, Rennerʼs journey to full recovery still seems miraculous, especially as the actor goes all out to promote the series that reflects his somber potential for grittier roles after years of starring in blockbuster comic-book superhero flicks.

Mayor of Kingstown Redeems Jeremy Rennerʼs Career Arc

After showing great Oscar-worthy promise in films such as The Hurt Locker and Dahmer, Jeremy Rennerʼs career arrived at a still point when he enlisted in Marvel as one of the original Avengers. For the next 10 years following his debut in the 2011 film, Thor, Renner spent the majority of his formative career arc in the outliers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fighting aliens and monsters.

His occasional roles in noteworthy classics like Ben Affleckʼs The Town, Denis Villeneuveʼs Arrival, and Taylor Sheridanʼs Wind River serve to remind the audience of Rennerʼs inherent potential as a character actor. However, it is his career as a Marvel stalwart that defines him as an actor due to the CBM franchiseʼs overshadowing presence in modern pop culture.

With Mayor of Kingstown, Jeremy Renner builds his identity from the ground up, both physically and metaphorically, considering how the series serves as a comeback of sorts – in his personal as well as professional life. The Taylor Sheridan series also marks a reunion of the writer-director and the actor, proving the existence of a great working relationship between the pair – a sign that promises more good things to come.

Mayor of Kingstown Seasons 1 and 2 are available for streaming on Paramount+ while Season 3 premieres on June 2, 2024, exclusively on the streamer.
