How to watch Mayor of Kingstown season 2 online – all episodes of the Jeremy Renner crime thriller out now

If Kingstown felt a lot like hell on Earth before, try picturing what's in store for Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) now that the uneasy alliances between guards and prisoners on the inside, and gang-leaders and law enforcement on the outside, have broken down spectacularly. Read on to find out how to watch Mayor of Kingstown season 2 online from anywhere – don't forget to use your free trial of Paramount Plus.

*Warning – potential Mayor of Kingstown spoilers ahead*

The riots that broke out in the season 1 finale were everything the show had been building up to, and so it is that Mayor of Kingstown season 2 begins with Kingstown in deep decay, reduced to something resembling a grim, open-air penitentiary where everybody's doomed to pay a heavy price for the power-brokers' failures. 

Those wasted opportunities to break the cycle of corruption, revenge and retribution, and actually change things for the better, look like a long-gone fantasy when the bodies are piling up this high. Amid the chaos, Mike still retains some sway with each of the warring factions, but his influence is no longer absolute, and all the while the specter of Milo Sunter (Aidan Gillen) is beginning to grow sharper.

Created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, Tulsa King) and Hugh Dillon, it's based on Dillon's experiences growing up in the shadow of Kingston Penitentiary in Ontario, and it's one of the most brutal shows on TV, which is saying something. 

All 10 episodes are available to stream right now, so what are you waiting for? Follow our guide below for how to watch Mayor of Kingstown season 2 online wherever you are.
