Co-created by Yellowstone‘s Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, the Paramount+ series follows Renner as Mike McLusky who acts as the unofficial mayor of a fictional crime-ridden town. After season 2 finished filming but before it aired, Renner suffered a serious snow plow accident and during his recovery, the series was renewed for a third season in September 2023, though it was unable to start filming due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which ended in November.

Now, with the actors strike officially over, the Mayor of Kingstown season 3 filming start date has been set. According to Deadline, the third season is expected to go into production in early 2024. Furthermore, half of the scripts were written before the WGA strike, followed by the second half completed afterward.

Jeremy Renner’s Miraculous Recovery Makes Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3 Imminent

Mayor of Kingstown season 3 is starting production sooner than initially expected due to the miraculous nature of Renner’s recovery. If the series starts filming in early 2024, as is expected now, it will be roughly one year after Renner’s life-threatening accident. On New Year’s Day, the actor was accidentally run over by his seven-ton snow plow, resulting in over 30 broken bones, blunt chest trauma, and orthopedic injuries that required multiple surgeries. While there were initial questions about whether Renner would ever act again, he has been making a miraculous recovery.

In the months since his accident, Renner has been undergoing every type of therapy, including physical therapy, peptide injections, IV drips, stem cell, exosomes, infrared therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and cold plunges. On the 10-month anniversary of his accident, Renner shared a video of him running up his steep driveway, appearing perfectly capable of returning to acting in a few months’ time. All things considered, Mayor of Kingstown season 3 could premiere in the summer of 2024 at the earliest.
