If you’re outside the U.S., the two-episode premiere lands Sunday, Oct 26 at these local times: 8:00 a.m. in the UK (BST); 9:00 a.m. in France and Germany (CEST) and South Africa (SAST); 11:00 a.m. in the UAE (GST); 12:30 p.m. in India (IST); 2:00 p.m. in Thailand (ICT) and Indonesia (WIB); 3:00 p.m. in China (CST); 4:00 p.m. in Japan (JST) and South Korea (KST); and 6:00 p.m. in Australia (AEDT). As usual, U.S. viewers get it at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET every Sunday. Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, this season rolls right into holiday mode, which is convenient if your idea of winter comfort is gang wars and moral injury.
Who is in (and who is very much out)
Jeremy Renner returns as Mike McLusky, still the reluctant traffic cop between cops, cons, and everyone who thinks they run Kingstown. Back with him: Hugh Dillon as Ian Ferguson, Taylor Handley as Kyle McLusky, Tobi Bamtefa as Bunny, Derek Webster as Stevie, Hamish Allan-Headley as Robert Sawyer, and Nishi Munshi as Tracy McLusky.
Three familiar faces will not be returning because their stories ended with a body bag: Emma Laird’s Iris, Michael Beach’s Kareem, and Aidan Gillen’s Milo are all gone.
In their place, Paramount+ is loading the bench with ringers. Clayton Cardenas (Mayans M.C.) shows up as Deputy Warden Torres over at Anchor Bay. Edie Falco (The Sopranos) takes the top seat as new prison warden Nina Hobbs. Lennie James (The Walking Dead) arrives as Frank Moses, a legend in the game whose influence stretches way past city limits. And Laura Benanti joins as Cindy Stephens, a newly minted correctional officer with her own agenda.
Hugh Dillon sums up the new reality: "The Russians are gone. That leaves a vacuum that will be filled."
What Season 4 is actually about
Short version: the Russians are out, but peace is not part of the package. Season 4 puts Mike’s grip on Kingstown under a microscope as fresh players rush to claim the open territory. He’s staring down a full-blown gang war while also clashing with a headstrong new warden who is not here to be managed. And because this show enjoys pressing every bruise, the fallout hits his inner circle too, forcing Mike to protect his own while wrestling with the ghosts he keeps trying to bury.
If you need a quick refresher on where we left things in Season 3: the McLusky family is in pieces. Kyle is sitting in a cell. Ian’s under investigation. Evelyn, who was once in Mike’s corner, is now turning the legal screws on his people. Iris overdosed alone on a bus after everything Mike did to pull her out. Bunny sits on top of the local food chain for now, but power invites challengers, and they are not shy.
All of that threads directly into the new arrivals. Frank Moses brings an underworld empire’s reach, Nina Hobbs is tightening her grip on Anchor Bay, and Torres is not the type to blink. Translation: this season is less about keeping order and more about surviving the stampede.
Yes, there is a trailer
The official Season 4 trailer leans into the pressure cooker: a public and private war for Mike, a widening rift with Evelyn and the McLusky brothers, Bunny’s accelerated ascent, the Aryans thirsting for payback, and the ripple effects from Milo’s death and Iris’s overdose. It even frames it like a countdown you can hear: Evelyn’s icy indictment, Kyle behind bars, and Mike running out of ways to keep anyone safe.
Does Evelyn actually burn down everything Mike built? Can Bunny hold the line he promised to hold? And is this the season where Mike finally runs out of second chances? We’re about to find out.
Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 premieres October 26, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+. New episodes every Sunday at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET through December 21.
