“Mayor of Kingstown” stars describe what to expect during the show’s upcoming season and working together for the first time
The stakes are high as season four of “Mayor of Kingstown” unfolds, Jeremy Renner revealed on “CBS Mornings” on Wednesday.
“It is a pretty intense show. … all the main storyline involves all of the players, the main players, in the show. So there are not a lot of side storylines that you have to kind of follow, so it keeps everything pretty intense for everybody on the show,” Renner said.
Renner plays Mike McLusky, whose brother is an incarcerated cop. This season, Edie Falco joins the cast to play Nina Hobbs, the new warden at Anchor Bay Prison.
“To come up against a brick wall like Nina Hobbs, the new warden in town, creates real real real problems for Mike throughout the entire season,” Renner said.
After recovering from an accident on New Year’s Day in 2023, Renner — who broke 38 bones and had to undergo multiple surgeries — said the crew on “Mayor of Kingstown” has been helpful to him as he returned to set.
“Everybody is very good about taking care of me,” he said.
Renner and Falco on working together
Falco, an Emmy-award winner and former star of “The Sopranos,” said she enjoys playing strong female characters like Hobbs.
“On more than one occasion, my agents have called me and said, ‘well the part was written for a man.’ … After I learned not to take that personally, I’ve come to really enjoy the place of power that a lot of these women stand in and do so with a great amount of confidence,” Falco said.
It’s the first time Renner and Falco have worked together.
“When you’re working opposite an actor, if you look in their eyes there’s part of them that’s always saying, ‘hi. Look at us. We’re on this show.’ … And there was none of that. He’s the guy,” Falco said of Renner. “And it makes the playground completely real for me.”
Renner said Falco is “tremendous” as his on-screen counterpart.
“First of all, also it’s a great character. It’s a really strong female character, which is amazing. Such a great adversary really and then there’s nobody better to fill those shoes.”
“Mayor of Kingstown” returns Sunday, Oct. 26 on Paramount+.

Prince Harry slowly turning public tide toward him in UK
Prince Harry has more fans in Britain than the headlines suggest.
A fresh YouGov poll of 8,022 adults conducted on 8 December shows that a solid 56% of Britons believe the Duke of Sussex should receive some level of police protection when he sets foot back in the UK.
A timely verdict as the Government launches yet another review of his security arrangements.
However, Britons aren’t exactly lining up to foot the bill for Harry’s security entourage.
According to the poll, a mere 17% think he should enjoy state-funded police protection.
A more pragmatic 39% say he can have the protection so long as he pays for it himself.
Meanwhile, 28% take a firmer stance, arguing he shouldn’t be entitled to police protection in any form.
And then there’s the final 16%, who politely shrugged and opted for “don’t know,” perhaps wisely dodging yet another royal debate.
The Home Office has now ordered a fresh threat assessment after the duke formally requested a reassessment of the risks he faces on visits to Britain.
Harry wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in October, asking officials to take another look at the security threats he may encounter when travelling.

Cardi B gets new piercings: ‘Loving the vibe’
Cardi B is expanding her piercing collection once again, and she’s letting fans watch every moment.
In a new Instagram video posted on Dec. 4, New York-based piercer Robbie of NYC Piercing shared a behind-the-scenes look as the Grammy winner got four new dermal piercings on her neck and lower back.
Cardi leaned forward in the chair, neck exposed, and checked in before the needle went in, “This one ain’t as bad as the back is it?”
Moments later, she let out a quick yelp. When it came time for the lower back piercings, she simply said, “Ow.”
Robbie captioned the BTS clip, “Fresh back dermal implants, and surface neck, nape piercing for @iamcardib, loving the vibe!”
The rapper, who shares kids Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 14 months, with ex Offset, is no stranger to bold body mods.
The new jewellery comes just weeks after she welcomed her fourth baby and first child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
Earlier this year, Cardi showed off a piercing in a place most wouldn’t expect, her bottom.
When some fans questioned if it was real, she posted a close-up photo and wrote, “Do I lie ?”
But not every piercing sticks around. She later revealed that pricey piece, worth $13,000, didn’t last long.
Pain and cost aside, Cardi B seems happy to keep expressing herself through body art, and this latest round proves she’s still “loving the vibe.”

Once Upon a Time actress added, “They didn’t even understand it was me for years… They really pitched to us that Zootopia is something that means so much to us as a family because it’s also their favourite, number one, it’s their favourite movie, though Judy Hopps is not their favourite character by the way.”
“So, now I’ve got cool points. I’ve won their love. I bribed them to come on the [press] tour,” she added.
The sequel follows, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) are back as ZPD officers, tackling a new mystery involving Gary De’Snake, a mysterious snake seeking proof that his grandmother, Agnes, was the true creator of Zootopia’s weather walls, not the Lynxley family who took the credit and exiled reptiles.

The film is now running in theatres.
