MEET THE ‘MAYOR’

In Mayor of Kingstown

(Nov. 14 on Paramount+), Jeremy Renner, 50, stars as Mike McLusky, the middle son of three brothers in a family of power brokers in Kingstown, Mich., a small town dominated by its enormous prison system. Kyle Chandler, 56, plays older brother Mitch, a “fixer” who knows his way around the maze of incarceration regulations, and Dianne Wiest, 73, is Mariam, the family matriarch, who teaches at the women’s prison. “Every character is a product of the environment,” says Renner, who also stars as the Marvel bow-and-arrow character Hawkeye in movies and in his own spinoff series. “And the environment is bleak.”
