EXCLUSIVE: Niko Nicotera (Sons of Anarchy, Good Girls) has joined the cast of the Paramount+ series Mayor of Kingstown in a recurring role for Season 4. The show returns with new episodes on October 26.
Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption, and inequality, the series offers a stark portrayal of their efforts to bring order and justice to a town that lacks both.
Jeremy Renner leads the cast in the role of Mike McLusky, the titular leader of Kingstown, Michigan. Hugh Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Nishi Munshi, Michael Beach, Taylor Handley, and Derek Webster also star.
