Fall TV Preview 2025: Mayor of Kingstown
Sunday, Oct. 26 (Paramount+)
“As you come into a Season 4, how do you take a show to the next level?” asks executive producer David Glasser as he discusses Paramount+’s gritty prison drama.
“Well, you need a nemesis. You need someone who’s going to come in and go toe-to-toe” with Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner).
Enter Edie Falco, who joins the series as Anchor Bay’s tough new warden, Nina Hobbs.
Though Mike has essentially run the prison for the past three seasons, now “she’s the boss,” Glasser explains. “She’s making the decisions. She’s calling the shots. It ain’t Mike’s world. It’s her world, and we’re going to watch this battle between the two of them.”
The power vacuum left in the Russians’ wake will be palpable, he adds, and the gang war that comes out of it will test Mike’s ability to hold the town together.
New faces will include Laura Benanti, who plays neophyte correctional officer Cindy Stephens, and Lennie James, who plays gangster Frank Moses — an outsider “who’s going to be putting things together in a very specific way,” Glasser says.
“This is a season not like all the other seasons. It’s energized. It’s power-packed.”
BONUS SPOILER!:
“Many people in this season think they have control,” the EP teased.
“By the end of the season, we’re going to know who’s in control.”
