Summary:
Taylor Sheridan's most acclaimed—and, frankly, best—show is about to get a massive boost in visibility. All four existing seasons of Mayor of Kingstown will drop on Netflix on October 5, preceding the show's fifth and final run on Paramount+. This follows a deal earlier this year that added 20 titles to Netflix's global library, highlighting a shift towards licensed content.
The Details:
- Deal: A partnership between Netflix and Paramount+ brings Mayor of Kingstown to Netflix, along with CBS shows SEAL Team and Watson.
- Creator: Sheridan, who signed an overall deal with NBCUniversal last year, is known for building a profitable television empire within Paramount.
- Show Details: Mayor of Kingstown is set in a fictional Michigan town where the primary industry is incarceration. It centers on a family acting as intermediaries between inmates, guards, local police, criminal organizations, and politicians. Jeremy Renner leads as Mike McClusky, a complex ex-con who navigates competing factions to maintain order.
- Future: Sheridan's deal with NBCUniversal expires in 2028, marking the end of his Paramount tenure.
