Mayor of Kingstown season 5 — everything we know so far about the hit Taylor Sheridan show's final series

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.

The show follows Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, an ex-con navigating the dangerous line between law enforcement and the city's criminal underworld. The crime thriller "plunges viewers into the ruthless power struggles and violence that defines Kingstown, Michigan," as Paramount puts it.

Season 4 only ended in December 2025, but with news of a final renewal breaking in January 2026, all eyes are on how the hit series wraps up its drama once and for all.

While details are still in the early stages, we do know some things for certain when it comes to Mayor of Kingstown season 5... so let's break them down.

Mayor of Kingstown season 5 release date predictions

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.

Mayor of Kingstown season 5 potential plot

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.

"Whether it goes that far or that's where we get [who knows], but he has an ending, and everyone knows about it," Dillon 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.'"
