Could Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 Happen?
All Signs Point To The Jeremy Renner Show Returning
Because of the opaque nature of streaming numbers, it is difficult to determine how many people are watchingMayor of Kingstownseason 3, as well as how many might need to be watching it in order to secure a season 4 renewal. However, the show has received a lot of attention for beingJeremy Renner’s first project in the wake of his 2023 snowplow accidentand subsequent recovery, which may be boosting its streaming numbers as its new season airs.
Additionally, if the critical reception to the show has any influence on its renewal, theMayor of Kingstownstarwill be proven correct that the show’s prospects are looking demonstrably positive. The show has always boasted a huge gulf between critics and audiences, with an average Tomatometer rating of 59% on Rotten Tomatoes, just shy of being considered Fresh, in spite of an average audience score of 89%. However,each successive season has seen the critics' ratings vastly improveover the previous installment. Below, see how both groups have rated all three seasons so far:
33%
89%
50%
90%
71%
Ultimately, it may be some time beforeMayor of Kingstownseason 4 is confirmed, as it is rather early in the show’s typical renewal timeline. Season 2 was renewed about a month after the finale of season 1, while season 3 was renewed roughly six months after the season 2 finale, meaning news on season 4 may not arrive until early 2025. However, if viewership increases at the level of the show’s critical reception, a new season seems more or less guaranteed.
