Following the successful arrival of 1883 and SEAL Team on Netflix, more titles from Paramount+ are set to make their way to the streaming giant’s platform. Among them is Taylor Sheridan’s acclaimed series Mayor of Kingstown, which will debut on Netflix on October 5, 2026.
Unlike Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe, Mayor of Kingstown is a gritty crime drama centered on Jeremy Renner’s character, Mike McLusky. As the unofficial “mayor” of Kingstown, McLusky strives to maintain a precarious balance between street gangs, local law enforcement, prison guards, and inmates. The series delves into complex themes such as racism, power dynamics, and social class, delivering a thought-provoking and intense narrative.
To date, the show has released four seasons, with a fifth and final season currently in production. The upcoming season will feature eight episodes, slightly fewer than previous installments, allowing the series to conclude its storylines thoughtfully.
The exact number of seasons coming to Netflix remains unclear, as part of a non-exclusive licensing deal between Netflix and Paramount finalized earlier this year. While some shows under this agreement, like SEAL Team, have already appeared on Netflix, Mayor of Kingstown is among the next wave of releases slated for October.
This international deal means that audiences in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and select other regions will gain access to the series starting October 5, 2026, with additional countries to follow at later dates. Licensing terms will vary by location, with availability ranging from one to three years.
For those who have hesitated to subscribe to Paramount+ solely for this series, the Netflix debut offers a prime opportunity to experience Sheridan’s compelling drama. Mark your calendars for October 5, 2026, when Mayor of Kingstown arrives on Netflix.
