Paramount+ Sets ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ Season 5 as Final, Trims Order to Eight Episodes

The shortened sendoff reflects strategic recalibration at the streamer, giving the series a defined endpoint after a strong fourth season.

Overview

  • Paramount+ confirmed the Jeremy Renner drama will conclude with an eight‑episode fifth season, the show’s first reduced run.
  • Jeremy Renner and Edie Falco are set to return, with Collider reporting production on the final season is starting imminently and Renner thanking fans on social media.
  • The concluding chapter will follow the fallout of Season 4’s violent gang conflict without revealing story specifics.
  • Industry reporting links the end date to production costs, comparatively softer viewership versus other Taylor Sheridan titles, and corporate shifts tied to Skydance’s control of Paramount Global and Sheridan’s future move to NBCUniversal.
  • Co-creator Hugh Dillon has said the narrative was once mapped to stretch to as many as seven seasons, and outlets note a six‑episode cap was discussed before settling on eight.
