Mayor of Kingstown | Season 4: Recap, Release Date & What’s Next for Mike McLusky

The gritty crime thriller Mayor of Kingstown returns with Season 4, premiering October 26, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+. Created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) and Hugh Dillon, the series continues to explore the violent, morally gray world of Kingstown, Michigan, where incarceration fuels the economy, and the McLusky family acts as the town’s unofficial power brokers.

🔁 Recap: Seasons 1–3

The McLusky saga began with Season 1, where Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) stepped into the role of “Mayor” after his brother Mitch’s death, navigating the treacherous prison system and street gangs. The first season established the McLuskys as mediators in a town ruled by crime, corruption, and racial tension.

• Season 1 Highlights: Mike struggles to maintain control, gangs clash, and the Russian mob, led by Milo Sunter (Aidan Gillen), becomes a key player in the town’s underworld.

• Season 2: Kingstown faces increasing chaos as rival factions battle for power. Mike’s relationships with law enforcement, the Crips, and other local gangs are tested, while personal betrayals threaten his leadership.

• Season 3: The stakes escalate further as new criminal forces, prison riots, and moral dilemmas push the McLuskys to their limits. The season ended with the Russians’ empire destabilized, leaving a dangerous power vacuum in the town.
