Mayor of Kingstown Plot and Cast

In the Season 1 finale, we are taken inside a shocking prison riot after a season of brewing discontent within the prisons that Mike, as their appointed ‘advocate,’ failed to de-escalate. The riot quickly spirals out of control, with prisoners, prison guards, and police officers all finding themselves on the receiving ends of bullets — including the riot’s ringleader, P-Dog, who is shot dead.

Although the riot is over, it seems likely that the aftermath of the events and how it impacted the main characters will be a crucial plot point in the upcoming second season. Although Mike and their brother Kyle both make it out of the riot alive, they definitely suffered their fair share of trauma. Kyle had a panic attack while in the sewers of the prison, while Mike, who had already seen a lot, went home to find that Iris has narrowly avoided a bear attack.

As the heart of the show, it’s a given that Jeremy Renner will be back as Mike McLusky alongside his on-screen mother, Dianne Wiest. We can also expect Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley, Pha’rez Lass, and Aidan Gillen.
