This riveting crime drama follows Jeremy Renner as Mike McClusky, the right-hand man to his brother who acts as an unofficial ‘Mayor’ of the fictional Kingstown, where the business of incarceration reigns supreme.

Season four will be adding an iconic name from prestige crime dramas, The Sopranos’ Edie Falco, who’ll be portraying Nina Hobbs, the new warden of Kingstown’s maximum-security prison, Anchor Bay.

Also joining the cast is The Walking Dead’s Lennie James, The Gilded Age’s Laura Benanti, Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley and Nishi Munshi.

A synopsis for the upcoming season reads: “In season four, Mike’s control over Kingstown is threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians’ wake, compelling him to confront the resulting gang war and stop them from swallowing the town.

“Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever before, Mike must contend with a headstrong new Warden to protect his own while grappling with demons from his past.”

If you’re not already caught up on the hit thriller, take these next couple of months before season four premieres as the perfect opportunity to catch up.

Fans have given Mayor of Kingstown overwhelmingly perfect 5/5 scores on Google, with one reviewer writing: “Jeremy Renner is perfect. His supporting cast is so good they could all have singular story lines of their own.

“I'm so impressed. Can you tell? Ha! By far one of the best modern dramas I've binge watched in YEARS. Possibly, EVER.”

Another five-star review said: “Very few television shows draw my attention so quickly and have me invested in its characters. Jeremy Renner gives an Emmy worthy performance in every episode.”

They went on to describe each episode as a “movie experience” and concluded the series has the “same caliber of all around excellence” as Netflix's crime hit Ozark.

And a final fan raved: “I absolutely love this series and give both seasons 10/10.

“It’s very well acted and you get invested in the characters. It’s gripping and extremely binge worthy addictive.”
