Ahead of its debut, Shadow and Act has an exclusive preview of Taylor Sheridan’s new Paramount+ drama series, Mayor of Kingstown.
The series follows the McLusky family – “power brokers in Kingstown, Mich., where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.”
Premiering Sunday, Nov. 14, it stars Jeremy Renner, Dianne Wiest, Kyle Chandler, Dillon, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird and Tobi Bamtefa.
Mayor of Kingstown is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN will be executive produced by Sheridan, Dillon, Renner, Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari and Michael Friedman.
The show is a part of Sheridan’s deal with MTV Entertainment and ViacomCBS. Along with 1883 – the “Yellowstone” origin story premiering on Paramount+ Dec. 19, these are the first outings from his exclusive multi-year pact, which includes scripted and procedural series for streaming and linear. 101 Studios serves as a production partner on all series.
