Jeremy Renner To Star In Taylor Sheridan's 'Mayor Of Kingstown' on Paramount+
This week, we heard new information regarding Paramount+ (the rebranded CBS All-Access) and its upcoming slate of exclusives. One of the upcoming shows from MTV Entertainment Studios is Taylor Sheridan's Mayor of Kingstown. The series will follow the McLusky family, which consists of power brokers, in Kingstown, Michigan, where incarceration is a booming business. It is set to star none other than Jeremy Renner, who is best known for his role as Clint Barton (Hawkeye) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Renner's thoughts on the show:
"I am excited to dig into the complex and rough-around-the-edges character of Mike McLusky (the Mayor of Kingstown). In a world otherwise forgotten in society, Mike serves as a flawed system of checks and balances. Taylor has brought to life a layered and poignant universe that is not only incredibly intriguing but also more relevant than ever."

The show will also be executive produced by Antoine Fuqua, who has the following to add:
"When Taylor told me about Mayor of Kingstown, I immediately wanted to be a part of it. The series offers a comprehensive look into the brutal prison system where sociopolitical issues run rampant. Prisons are a forgotten world to most of the population and yet represent a microcosm of society as a whole."
The series will be just one of many that will appear on Paramount+, which itself launches on March 4.
