Following his accident, actorJeremy Rennerhas returned to work and is now on set and filming the third season ofMayor of Kingstown. Taking to social media to share an image of himself back in action, Renner said, “Day one on set … nervous today,” in a caption alongside a photo of himself. “Hope this works out that I can ACTUALLY pull this off for our production and more importantly the fans.”
Renner recently opened upabout the snowplow accidentthat nearly ended his life one year ago, saying that he had to fight on as he has so much “to fight for."
“I’m just so blessed that I had so many things to live for. I have a giant family. I have a 10-year-old daughter. I would have disappointed and really messed up a lot of people’s lives if I would’ve passed. So, there’s a lot for me to get better for. I’m also a pretty stubborn S.O.B., and there’s a lot for me to have to fight for.”
Following Jeremy Renner’s incredible recovery from his freak snowplow accident back in January 2023, Paramount+‘sMayor of Kingstownis now getting cameras rolling on its third season. Prior to this most recent update, Renner shared a post by his costar Emma Laird onInstagram, in which she expressed her excitement about being back working with the Marvel actor from the beginning of January.
Previously,Deadlinereported that the crime thriller created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon was preparing to start production in early 2024. After filming for the show’s second season wrapped, and before that season aired, Renner was accidentally run over by his seven-ton snow plow and seriously injured. He suffered more than 30 broken bones, blunt chest trauma, and orthopedic injuries and required multiple surgeries. Due to the severity of Renner’s accident, it was questionable whetherThe Avengersstar would ever return to acting, but his miraculous recovery will see him back on screen sooner rather than later.

On his path to recovery, Renner has undergone several types of therapy, including physical therapy, cold plunges, exosomes, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, infrared therapy, IV drips, peptide injections, and stem cell therapy. Just days ago, the actor commemorated ten months of recovery with a video posted on social media, captioned:
“Today marks the day on 10 months of recovery …. First attempt at any of this activity (especially at steep grade) and was brought to tears of joy, hopefulness, and gratitude for all your support along with my family and friends…. I keep pushing for many reasons, but you are my fuel.”
Following the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, and with Renner faring much better,Mayorof Kingstown’sproduction can move forward once again. It can do so reasonably quickly, as half of the third season’s scripts were written before the writer’s strike commenced in May; the remaining episodes were penned following the strike’s conclusion on September 27. According to a report fromThe Hollywood Reporter,Mayor of Kingstownwas renewed for a third season months ago, but the streamer waited for Renner’s recovery to announce the renewal publicly.
Mayor of Kingstownstars Renner as Mike McLusky, the unofficial mayor of a crime-filled town. Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest also starred in the show’s first two seasons, along with series co-creator Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, Derek Webster and Hamish Allan-Headley. The series is part ofYellowstoneco-creator Sheridan’s impressive Paramount+ catalog, which includes theYellowstonespinoffs1883and1923, andTulsa KingandSpecial Ops: Lioness(Sheridan also serves as an executive producer for the streamer’sLawmen: Bass Reeves). According to Paramount+,Mayor of Kingstownis the third-best-performing original drama on the platform, with Sheridan’s1923andTulsa Kingclaiming the top spots.
Along with returning for the anticipated third season ofMayor of Kingstown,Renner hopes to release musiche composed during his recovery. Through a social media post, Renner shared:
“A collection of music we wrote about different milestones in my journey of recovery since Jan 1st this year. ‘Love and Titanium’ has been painful, deeply healing, and ultimately cathartic for me to create. I hope I get the courage to share with you all.
