Where to Stream Mayor of Kingstown Season 4
In the United States, Paramount+ is the exclusive streaming home for Mayor of Kingstown. There’s no cable simulcast or alternate streamer for Season 4, so you’ll need a Paramount+ subscription to watch new episodes legally.
On Paramount+, you can choose between two main subscription tiers depending on your budget and how you like to watch:
- Essential: The lower-priced, ad-supported plan. It gives you full access to Mayor of Kingstown Seasons 1–4, but you’ll see commercial breaks. If you mainly want to keep up with new episodes as they drop and don’t mind ads, this tier does the job.
- Premium: A more expensive plan with fewer ads and added perks. In the U.S., this tier includes Showtime content plus a smoother viewing experience with reduced interruptions—ideal if you’re planning to binge the earlier seasons or watch the new season in one sitting once all 10 episodes are out.
All three previous seasons (Seasons 1–3) are currently on the platform as well, so if you’re new to the series—or you want a refresher on the McLusky family’s history before Season 4—you can stream everything in one place.
What Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 Is About
Season 4 picks up after the power vacuum created when the Russian players were forced out of Kingstown’s criminal ecosystem. That gap doesn’t stay empty for long. Instead, it becomes a magnet for new, ruthless factions circling both the town and the prison, looking to grab territory and influence.
Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) is once again stuck in the middle, trying to keep a fragile balance between law enforcement, inmates and the streets. The problem: every promise he’s made in the past is now coming due, and his leverage is thinner than ever. His role as “fixer” is turning into something closer to survival mode.
Inside the prison, Nina Hobbs (Edie Falco) steps in as the new warden. She isn’t there to maintain the old order; she’s there to rewrite it. Her approach to discipline, negotiations and control clashes with the existing ecosystem that Mike has spent years trying to manage. Every policy she changes behind the walls sends shock waves through the city outside.
On the streets, pressure is building. Neighborhood tensions rise as people test the new boundaries created by the Russians’ exit, while rival crews and local power brokers sense opportunity—and danger. Season 4 leans into the show’s core themes: who really controls a town built around incarceration, and what it costs to keep even a temporary peace.
At the center of it all remains Mike, caught between his family, his deals, his enemies and his own trauma. He’s juggling loyalties that no longer make sense, in a city that may be beyond saving.
Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 Cast: Who’s Back and Who’s New
Season 4 keeps the show’s core ensemble intact while adding heavy hitters to raise the stakes even further.
- Jeremy Renner — Mike McLusky: The “mayor” in everything but name, still trying to broker deals between cops, criminals and inmates while barely holding himself together. Expect his physical and emotional scars to be front and center this season.
- Edie Falco — Nina Hobbs: The newly installed prison warden. Calm on the surface but relentlessly focused, she brings a sharp, uncompromising presence that fundamentally changes how the prison operates—and how the town reacts.
- Hugh Dillon — Ian Ferguson: A cop who’s long since crossed the line into morally gray territory. His long-standing relationship with Mike and his methods on the job continue to blur the boundary between law and lawlessness.
- Taylor Handley — Kyle McLusky: Mike’s brother, constantly trying to move toward a more conventional life but repeatedly pulled back into Kingstown’s chaos. Season 4 continues to test whether he can truly escape the family business.
- Tobi Bamtefa — Bunny Washington: A street leader with a strategic mind, Bunny remains one of the most compelling power players in Kingstown. His smile hides sharp instincts, and his alliances are never simple.
- Derek Webster — Stevie: A cop who tries to hold onto his integrity while working in a city that constantly pushes people toward compromise. His loyalty and clear-eyed perspective make him a rare figure in Kingstown.
- Lennie James — Frank Moses: Charismatic and quietly dangerous, Frank brings an energy that can flip a scene from negotiation to threat in a heartbeat.
- Laura Benanti — Cindy Stephens: Poised and polished on the surface, she’s far from a passive player. Her influence tends to be felt in subtle but very real ways.
Production Notes: When and Where Season 4 Was Filmed
Filming on Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 wrapped in June 2025 in Pittsburgh, which once again stands in for the show’s fictional Rust Belt town. The production has leaned into the city’s industrial look and gritty atmosphere to ground the series in a realistic American landscape.
Jeremy Renner has described Season 4 as a payoff for the long wait between installments, suggesting that the new episodes push the characters into even more intense territory. Co-creator and actor Hugh Dillon has also teased that Kingstown returns with its nerves completely exposed—meaning viewers should expect volatile confrontations and very few safe choices for any of the main characters.
