In “Mayor of Kingstown,” Renner’s character, Mike, is known for his selflessness and strong family ties. He commented on his character, saying, “I can relate to how Mike’s family is his baseline.” The new season introduces challenging dynamics, particularly with the new prison warden, Nina, played by Edie Falco.
