Jeremy Renner Teases Season 4 of ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ After Recovery

NEW YORK, NY — Jeremy Renner gave fans a sneak peek of the upcoming fourth season of his thriller series “Mayor of Kingstown” during an appearance on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday.

Renner joined the morning show to discuss his return to work after a severe snowplow accident earlier this year and to highlight his interactions with co-star Edie Falco. He praised Falco’s portrayal of a prison warden, describing her as a “great adversary” who complicates his character’s life.

“She creates a lot of problems for me to try to protect my brother, who’s a cop that goes to prison,” Renner said, adding that their characters have a lot of tension between them. “She’s tremendous.”

The actor explained that he and Falco made an effort to bond off-screen despite not having met before starting filming. “We kind of met in character almost,” he shared. “We’d always, whenever we stopped acting, we’d try to catch up.”

Renner described season 4’s plot as focusing on a centralized story involving his brother’s incarceration, which ties the main characters together. The new season is set to premiere on October 26, exploring the dark themes surrounding the prison system through the McLusky family.

Reflecting on his recovery, Renner shared how filming the previous season was challenging due to his injuries from the January 1 accident, which resulted in over 30 broken bones. “Season three was very difficult for me because I just had to focus on getting better,” he said. “A lot of people helped me to get better while I was working this.”

He expressed that the current season is more enjoyable, allowing him to engage with the cast and focus on his executive producer role. “I can have a personality and kind of talk with people and not just worry about my next step,” he noted.

In addition to his acting career, Renner discussed his philanthropic work with foster care children through the RennerVation Foundation. He is collaborating with the Department of Children and Family Services in Los Angeles County, aiming to support kids aging out of the foster system.

“It’s like, 400,000 kids across our country that are just marginalized and pushed to the side, and it’s very upsetting to me,” he said. “So I, instead of getting upset about it, do something about it and try to provide some assistance and hope and love for these kids that so deserve it.”
