“Season 3 was the one where I was pretty affected. That was really a year off the incident. Two years off of it, this season, I’m much stronger, much clearer, happier, more awake and attentive. So yeah, we really enjoyed this experience.” Renner said, expressing his happiness about returning to the series. Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 will stream from October 26 on Paramount+.

Jeremy Renner’s accident

The Hurt Locker actor was injured outside his Nevada residence on New Year’s Day in 2023, when he tried to save his then 27-year-old nephew from getting hit by a snowplow. Renner was crushed by the 14,000-pound machine and sustained major injuries, including 14 broken ribs, a broken and dislocated collar bone, a spinal fracture, a head laceration and a sliced liver.

The extent of the injuries was such that Renner questioned his “ability to be able to do fiction.” He said in the interview that all that he has been through taught him a lot about life, and he is happy to make his comeback. “I don’t know if I’ve gotten any more insight because of what I had been through, but at least I’m happy enough to – and I’m blessed enough to – still continue doing what I love to do,” the Hawkeye actor told the outlet.
