Paramount+ to End Mayor of Kingstown With Shortened Season 5

A shorter final run reflects new leadership priorities at the streamer.

Overview

  • The Jeremy Renner drama has been renewed for a fifth and final season consisting of eight episodes, down from the previous 10-episode seasons.
  • Edie Falco will return alongside Renner, and industry reporting indicates production on the final run is set to begin imminently.
  • The concluding season is positioned to follow the fallout of the Season 4 climax without revealing story specifics.
  • Coverage notes the series’ originally mapped multi‑season arc was compressed, with a six‑episode option discussed before an eight‑episode compromise was reached.
  • Industry analyses tie the end date and reduced order to cost considerations, viewership that trails other Taylor Sheridan titles, and a regime change following Skydance’s takeover, with Sheridan’s long‑term move to NBCUniversal also cited in context.
