Paramount+ has officially announced the premiere date of Season 4 of Jeremy Renner’s crime drama, Mayor of Kingstown. After a breakout run of Season 3, which concluded in 2024, the makers are betting big on the success of the highly anticipated season, which will bring in some fresh faces with new power struggles and Edie Falco’s much-awaited debut as Anchor Bay’s new warden. The streaming platform has also dropped the first look of the season, which teases a darker season. Here’s all you need to know about the release.
Mayor of Kingstown Season 4: When and where to watch?
The latest season of Jeremy Renner’s crime thriller is set to premiere on Paramount+ on October 26, 2025, with new episodes expected to drop at the streamer’s usual schedule, at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET. For now, the season will be available for streaming exclusively on Paramount+, with a weekly Sunday rollout leading into November and December.
Edie Falco’s first look as the new warden revealed
Perhaps the biggest highlight for Season 4 is the much-awaited debut of Nurse Jackie star Edie Falco as ‘Nina Hobbs’, Anchor Bay’s new warden. The first-look images of the actress’s warden avatar show her in tense face-offs between ‘Hobbs’ and ‘Mike McLusky’ (Jeremy Renner), already indicating friction.
Speaking about the new warden, co-creator Hugh Dillon cited Falco’s unpredictability as ‘Hobbs’ and stated that it will reshape the prison power dynamic in the upcoming season. Entertainment Weekly quoted Dillon as saying:
“It is that unpredictability which means it’s forever fascinating. I could watch her just in the monitors. She’s just so effortless.”
What to expect from Mayor of Kingstown Season 4
To rewind to where the story stands at the moment (spoiler alert!), Season 3 wrapped up in an intense situation, with the Russians wiped out, ‘Milo’ dead, and ‘Iris’ gone. Kingstown’s fragile order now hangs by a thread. With Season 4, the viewers will be pivoted to the aftermath, exploring rival gangs, corruption of law enforcement, and ‘Mike’s fight to protect his family. The official logline of Mayor of Kingstown 4 reads:
“Mike’s control over Kingstown is threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians’ wake. Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever, Mike must contend with a headstrong new warden and demons from his past.”
Which returning faces to expect in Season 4
Alongside Jeremy Renner and Edie Falco, Season 4 will include a fresh lineup of characters, along with some returning faces. Lennie James is set to return this season as ‘Frank Moses’, the sophisticated gangster with reach beyond Michigan. Clayton Cardenas will be seen in her role as ‘Deputy Warden Torres’, the new warden’s right hand inside Anchor Bay.
Laura Benanti will reprise her character, ‘Cindy Stephens’, a single mom turned correctional officer. Other returning faces this season will include Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley, and Nishi Munshi.
Why Paramount+ has high hopes for Mayor of Kingstown Season 4
