Power broker Mike’s got his work cut out for him in the second season of the Mayor of Kingstown TV show on Paramount+. As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Mayor of Kingstown is cancelled or renewed for season three. Paramount+ and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you’ve been watching this TV series, we’d love to know how you feel about the second season episodes of Mayor of Kingstown here. *Status Update Below.

A Paramount+ crime thriller series created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, the Mayor of Kingstown TV show stars Jeremy Renner, Dianne Wiest, Dillon, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Nishi Munshi, Hamish Allan-Headley and Aidan Gillen. 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. The story follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. There are seven prisons within a 10-mile radius and Mike McLusky (Renner) is at the center of the action. He’s a conduit between the incarcerated and the outside world. His younger brother, Kyle (Handley), is a police detective who struggles with the choices he must make in assisting his brother. Their mother, Mariam (Wiest), teaches inmates and is not happy with her sons’ business.
