Stephen King had kind words for “Mayor of Kingstown” starring Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon (Jeremy Renner in the lead roles) and compared it to “SOA” and “The Shield”.


Normally we would preview the next episode of Sarah Sheridan (Yellowstone) and series star Hugh Dillon‘S Jeremy Renner-with Mayor of Kingstown, but this time it’s a little different. While we’ll definitely have a preview for “Ecotone” (written by James Arcega Tinsley) on Saturday, we just thought Sheridan, Dillon, Renner and the rest of the team would like to know that they have a big fan in bestselling author Stephen King. “I have no idea what’s going on in THE MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN, but I love this show. It reminds me of THE SHIELD and SONS OF ANARCHY. I had no idea what was going on in those either,” King shared in the first of a series of tweets praising the series – as if he were talking about Sons of Anarchy And The shield was compliment enough. From then on, King praises Mike’s (Renner) choice of car, Tobi BamtefaBunny (Badass), Ian (Dillon), Renner for his amazing comeback after his near-fatal accident last year and for “everyone saying ‘fuck’ so often”.

Mike McLusky is under pressure to end the war, but things get complicated when a familiar face from his prison past threatens to undermine the mayor’s efforts to keep the peace between all factions. Renner is joined in the third season by series regulars Dillon, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Nishi Munshi, Hamish Allan-HeadleyAnd Michael Beach (upgraded to series standard).

Merle Callahan (Brake) is one of the Aryan announcers in Anchor Bay who is currently serving a life sentence, while Kevin Jackson (Love) is a newly minted prison guard and Anna Fletcher (Malcomson) is a woman from Kingstown with a request for Mike. Also Nicole Galicia and Necar Zadegan return in recurring guest roles as Rebecca and Evelyn Foley.
