Jeremy Renner’s ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ premieres amid his recovery

The long-awaited second season of Mayor of Kingstown is now available.

As the series’ star Jeremy Renner continues to recover from a snowplough accident that left him in “serious but stable condition,” the first episode of season two debuted on Sunday.

Since the series’ launch in November 2021, Renner, 51, has played Mike McLusky, a family of power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the sole growing industry is the business of incarceration.

The first episode was inspired by Renner’s airlift to the hospital following a snowplough accident on his farm in Reno, Nevada, in which he suffered serious chest damage and orthopaedic injuries.

He had surgery on January 2 and was in a critical but stable condition at the time, staying in the intensive care unit.

A rep told PEOPLE on Jan. 3 that Renner was “moving snow from his driveway on Sunday so that his family members could depart his home after spending New Years together. He was also helping clear out the snow of his neighbor’s home as everyone up there had been without power for 24 hours and there had been a large snowfall.”

“So he was helping everyone in trying to clear out the snow so people could get out,” they added.
