The brand new third season of Mayor of Kingstown<\/a> is especially important to series lead Jeremy Renner<\/a>, not only because it signals a return of his fan-favourite character of Mike McLusky, but because the upcoming season is also the first project Renner worked on following his life-changing accident.<\/p>\n After being crushed by a snowplow in January 2023, the actor returned to work on the Paramount Plus<\/a> drama just one year afterwards.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a \u201creaching of limits\u201d that Renner had to face that is also reflected in his character\u2019s journey this season, he shares with RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Chatting about the new season and whether Mike reaches his limits in season 3, Renner said: \u201cYeah, that was kind of injected just by my own personal reaching my limits, right?<\/p>\n \u201cThank goodness that the narrative of the show started off that way, with mourning the mother\u2019s loss, who\u2019s a big matriarch and big emotional landing spot for us in this show.<\/p>\n \u201cThe loss of her and then also reaching your limits of a lot of other things, Mike makes big changes this season.\u201d<\/p>\n Renner added: \u201cThere\u2019s also more [intimacy] and a softness to him, in some ways. But then, when you reach your limits, you just make some real harsh decisions and that happens. It\u2019s pretty exciting to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2023 accident saw Renner pulled under his 14,000-pound snowcat when clearing snow from his neighbour\u2019s driveways, going on to break 38 bones and have several surgeries to treat his extensive injuries.<\/p>\n The new season of the hit Taylor Sheridan drama sees the stakes higher than ever \u2013 but as mentioned, it also includes a lot more intimacy when it comes to exploring the characters at the heart of it.<\/p>\n Talking about what fans can expect this season, Renner said that season 3 is \u201cbigger, bolder, higher stakes, but also more intimate \u2013 and that\u2019s why it\u2019s important\u201d.<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n He went on: \u201cTaylor Sheridan is always really vulnerable about writing something so violent and explosive, literally explosive, but then also have, underneath it, there\u2019s something so poetic and intimate and delicate. It\u2019s really, really interesting the way he writes, I love it because it is really exciting to watch.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is cranked up, there is a lot going on this season, but I think, also, there is that poetry and that intimacy with all the characters.<\/p>\n \u201cBetween even Bunny and Mike, there\u2019s a lot \u2013 I love that relationship, I love how complicated it is, it\u2019s more bromance-y then also gets very at odds with each other. There\u2019s a lot you can expect, and it\u2019s always fun to watch characters you can spend a bit of time with.\u201d<\/p> The season 3 synopsis for Mayor of Kingstown reads: \u201cIn season 3, a series of explosions rocks Kingstown and its citizens, as a new face of the Russian mob sets up shop in the city, and a drug war rages inside and outside prison walls.<\/p>\n \u201cThe pressure is on Mike McLusky to end the war, but things get complicated when a familiar face from his incarcerated past threatens to undermine the mayor\u2019s attempts to keep the peace among all factions.\u201d<\/p>\n Mayor of Kingstown season 3 will premiere on Paramount Plus on Sunday 2nd June 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0<\/b>Drama<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guide<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/b>Streaming Guide<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.\u00a0For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0<\/b>The Radio Times Podcast<\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/b><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n Renner returned to work on Mayor of Kingstown season 3 just a year after his serious accident. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":52153,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/jeremy-renner-mayor-of-kingstown-season-3-reflects-my-own-reaching-of-limits.jpg",2048,1366,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/jeremy-renner-mayor-of-kingstown-season-3-reflects-my-own-reaching-of-limits-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/jeremy-renner-mayor-of-kingstown-season-3-reflects-my-own-reaching-of-limits-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/jeremy-renner-mayor-of-kingstown-season-3-reflects-my-own-reaching-of-limits-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/jeremy-renner-mayor-of-kingstown-season-3-reflects-my-own-reaching-of-limits-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/jeremy-renner-mayor-of-kingstown-season-3-reflects-my-own-reaching-of-limits-1536x1025.jpg",1536,1025,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/jeremy-renner-mayor-of-kingstown-season-3-reflects-my-own-reaching-of-limits.jpg",2048,1366,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Renner returned to work on Mayor of Kingstown season 3 just a year after his serious accident.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/52152"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Jeremy](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Jeremy-Renner-679240c.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Jeremy")
