Mayor of Kingstown season 2 cast
Jeremy Renner returned to lead a TV series for the first time since 2009 with Mayor of Kingstown (in case you’re wondering, Hawkeye debuted a couple of weeks later). Best known for playing an Avenger and for roles in The Hurt Locker, The Town and Wind River, Jeremy Renner spoke on his Mayor of Kingstown character, Mike McLusky, as someone with a ferocity and moral code; someone who is trying to do what is right.
Renner recently was hospitalized following an accident with a piece of snow equipment, but thankfully the actor is on the mend.
Back alongside Renner in Mayor of Kingstown season 2 is Academy Award-winner Dianne Wiest, who plays the McLusky matriarch, Miriam. The Bullets Over Broadway star admitted in an interview ahead of season 1 that Miriam probably isn't the world's best mom, with fans seeing why across the first 10 episodes.
Also returning for Mayor of Kingstown season 2 are Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Nishi Munshi, Hamish Allan-Headley and Aidan Gillen.
