Jeremy Renner Addresses Mayor of Kingstown's Future After Season 3

In a recent interview, Jeremy Renner opens up about the future of the Paramount+ series Mayor of Kingstown. The third season was released earlier this month, more than a year after his near-fatal accident.

Jeremy Renner recently opened up to Collider about the future of the Paramount+ series Mayor of Kingstown. When asked about his thoughts on continuing with the show beyond Season 3, Renner responded cautiously, saying, "I have to make it through Season 3 first. We’ll see if I do. I’ve enjoyed being with this character and exploring, and I always think there’s more to explore. When the world is set up so beautifully, like it is in Mayor of Kingstown, and all the chess pieces are there, every time you play chess, it’s a new game. It’s like that with this [show]. For the audience, they just get more involved and invested in the characters, just as I do. I’ve only seen the first episode, so I’m excited to see the rest of the season. I don’t know half the things. I only focused on my part."
