The hit Paramount+ series “Mayor of Kingstown” seems to have secured a renewal for season 4, as indicated by a new casting call for background actors. Season 3 of the show concluded with significant events and the deaths of several key characters like Milo, Kareem, and Iris, setting the stage for a fresh start after much tragedy.
While the streaming platform, Paramount+, hasn’t officially announced the renewal yet, the showrunner, Dave Erickson, had already assembled the writers’ room, suggesting it was close. Now, Movie Casting PGH’s Facebook post for background extras for season 4 further solidifies the likelihood of its return. The post states that filming is set to begin in mid-January 2025, with the casting process for potential actors extending until May.
The casting call details a wide range of roles needed in the Greater Pittsburgh area, from town locals to various law enforcement and criminal types, with no age restrictions. It also mentions overtime for actors who work longer hours on set.
This casting call implies that the series has indeed been renewed, even if not formally by Paramount+. It gives a peek into what the upcoming season might entail, with Mike McLusky likely continuing to navigate the complex balance between organized crime groups and the police. However, after the major losses in season 3, the exact direction of the story remains uncertain.
In terms of production, the extended casting period until May 2025 indicates a potentially lengthier filming process compared to season 3’s quick turnaround. This could suggest a larger and more elaborate season 4 is in the works.
Given the show’s popularity, especially with Jeremy Renner’s return in season 3 following his accident, it’s not unexpected that it’s getting another season. With the casting call already out for extras, fans can expect official confirmation of the show’s return for season 4 in the near future.
