Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 Release: When Will It Come Out?

Paramount+ has yet to renew Mayor of Kingstown for Season 3, meaning that it has no release date yet. 

Given that Season 2 concluded in March 2023, it's possible that Paramount+ and the show's creators are still discussing a potential narrative direction for Season 3. 

In January 2023, showrunner Hugh Dillon told Deadline about potential Season 3 plans for the hit series, noting that he and Taylor Sheridan have "multiple ideas for multiple seasons" while also hinting that they could start "pre-production in the summer:"

"Taylor and I have multiple ideas for multiple seasons. If everything went according to plan with Paramount+ and the rest of it, I would think that we’d start in August, September, maybe pre-production in the summer."

If Season 3 is announced this year, then it wouldn't premiere until 2025 at the earliest considering the ongoing writers' strike that has halted movie & television development across Hollywood.

In January 2023, Mayor of Kingstown lead star Jeremy Renner was involved in a snow plowing accident near his home when a plowing machine flipped on top of him, severely injuring his leg before he was airlifted to hospital for surgery.

Since then, Renner has been steadily recovering. The actor's current situation has led many to speculate if he will return to the MCU and other projects, such as Mayor of Kingstown

In June 2023, the actor said he'd be there "in a heartbeat" if Marvel called him for a possible Hawkeye comeback. 

As for a potential Mayor of Kingstown return, Renner teased in a tweet that a third season may be on the horizon, sharing a post with the caption, "Might be time to start mental preparation for 3?:"

There's a chance that Paramount+ and the showrunners could still be discussing with Renner the next steps to return, and this could be the reason why Season 3 has yet to be announced. 

The expectation is that Renner would return in Mayor of Kingstown Season 3.

Given that Season 3 has yet to be given the green light, the exact plot details of Mayor of Kingstown are still being kept under wraps. 

In an interview with Comicbook in January 2023, Mayor of Kingstown showrunner Hugh Dillon teased a big future for the mayor ahead of Season 3: 

“Taylor and I, like I said, it took 10 years to build. So we were two guys who were like, ‘Then what happens?’ And so as he’s helping me audition and he’s doing his thing, we are constantly building this. So by the time it hit, we had 10 years to construct it. So yeah, we’ve got a big future planned for Mayor.”

Season 2 concluded with Kingstown in utter chaos, with the finale featuring a prison riot. Season 3 could explore the ramifications of this game-changing storyline, such as Mike and Bunny's impending conflict and the fates of Robert and Miriam.
