Why Paramount+ Is Ending ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ With Season 5
The Hollywood Reporter••entertainment
Key Points:
- Mayor of Kingstown has been renewed for a fifth and final season on Paramount+, which will feature eight episodes instead of the usual ten, possibly due to budget constraints, Taylor Sheridan's move to NBCUniversal, or story completion needs.
- Despite season four being the best-received critically, the show’s viewership has been modest compared to Sheridan’s other series, and five seasons is consistent with Paramount+’s typical run length for original scripted series.
- The conclusion of Mayor of Kingstown is unlikely to impact other Taylor Sheridan projects on Paramount+, as his existing TV deal runs for two more years and ongoing shows like Lioness and Landman are continuing.
- Sheridan’s footprint on Paramount will remain significant with multiple Yellowstone spinoffs and other series
