Mayor of Kingstown season 5: key information

– Show is renewed for its fifth and final season
– Filming is currently underway as of May 2026
– Jeremy Renner and Edie Falco are among those confirmed to reprise their roles
– Will have eight episodes, no release date or trailer as of yet
– Brief series synopsis has been confirmed

Is there anything Taylor Sheridan can’t do? Probably not, but sadly, Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount+ is due to come to an end after season 5.

January 5, 2026

Sadly yet unsurprisingly, Mayor of Kingstown season 5 doesn’t have a confirmed release date as of yet.

However, we can try to work out when the eight episodes will drop based on when previous seasons have been released:

Season 1: November 14, 2021
Season 2: January 15, 2023
Season 3: June 2, 2024
Season 4: June 2, 2025

If I were to put money on it, I’d guess that season 5 will have a June 2027 release date slot, but Paramount could easily surprise us.

According to Paramount, here’s a brief synopsis on the season 5 plot: “In Mayor of Kingstown Season 5, FBI agent Russell Hardy (new series regular David Morse) arrives in Kingstown following the murder of Mike’s sister-in-law, Tracy McLusky (Nishi Munshi).

“A dedicated lawman, Agent Hardy threatens to disrupt the tenuous balance of power in Kingstown.”

Previously, co-creators Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon hinted that the show could run as long as seven seasons, suggesting narrative plans were already in the works.

told Screen Rant. “And when you talk to him, he will tell you in detail. So, our goal is to get to that season 7, because that’s as far as we can get, because that’s where he’s always had it. 15 years ago, he had it. 15 years ago, ‘So, here’s how it’s starting, Mitch is going to get killed off in the first 10 pages, and season 7, episode 10, this is where Mike’s going to be.’ I’m like, ‘Holy f—, I’m in. Okay.'”
