Paramount+’s crime thriller Mayor of Kingstown season 4 brings in new characters that are about to shake up the show’s already tense power dynamics. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the series stars Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, a power broker in a town dominated by the prison industry.

After a brutal season 3 finale that saw several key characters meet their end, Mayor of Kingstown season 4 will introduce fresh faces, including a well-known star from The Walking Dead.

As per ScreenRant, among the new additions to the cast is Lennie James, best recognized for his role as Morgan Jones in The Walking Dead universe.

He will be joining alongside Edie Falco (The Sopranos) and Laura Benanti (The Gilded Age), each set to bring new layers of conflict to the already chaotic world of Kingstown.

Mayor of Kingstown season 4 - Other additions in cast

Lennie James is set to play Frank Moses, a feared and respected gangster whose influence extends beyond Kingstown, reaching into Detroit and across Michigan in Mayor of Kingstown season 4.

His character’s arrival suggests potential new threats and alliances as the balance of power in the town continues to shift.

Meanwhile, Edie Falco has been cast as Nina Hobbs, the new warden of Anchor Bay Prison. Given how central the prison system is to the series’ core narrative, her leadership will likely impact Mike McLusky’s control over the facility in Mayor of Kingstown season 4.

Another new addition is Laura Benanti, who will portray Cindy Stephens, a newly assigned correctional officer in Kingstown.

With the town’s long history of corruption and violence within its prison walls, Cindy’s introduction could mark either a fresh perspective or another casualty in the ongoing battle for control in Mayor of Kingstown season 4.

Additionally, Clayton Cardenas, known for his role in Mayans M.C., has been announced as Deputy Warden Torres, suggesting a deeper exploration into the prison’s administration and internal conflicts.

Given the show’s track record of unpredictability and high stakes, these new characters are expected to play crucial roles in shaping the dangerous world of Kingstown.

With past seasons proving that no character is safe, it remains to be seen how these new additions will survive the chaos in season 4.
