Mayor of Kingstown killed one of its biggest stars in the very first episode, as Kyle Chandler's character, Mitch McClusky, was executed in front of a safe in his office by a man named Alberto. Paramount Did Mitch McLusky (Kyle Chandler) really die in the first episode of Mayor of Kingstown? It's a stunning twist, one that follows similar suit to what Big Sky, a much more tame network drama, did in its first episode just about a year ago. And the episode's pivotal moment comes at the very end, when he 'becomes' the Mayor of Kingstown, taking over the title from his brother and setting the events of the rest of the series in motion. While Chandler is a big star and could of course headline his own show, Renner is without question the star of this show. The surprise death comes as a shock, but as soon as the show began and you realize that Jeremy Renner's character is not the titular Mayor of Kingstown.you sort of had to assume that something along these lines would happen. But, clearly, we'll have to wait-he's currently filming a show called Super Pumped, which will air on Showtime. He did star as Colonel Cathcart in Hulu's 2019 adaptation of Catch-22, but that was a limited series Mayor of Kingstown seemed to mark Chandler's return to the TV space. To this day, the 56-year-old star is still best-known for his iconic (and Emmy-winning) role as Coach Eric Taylor in Friday Night Lights, and his Netflix series Bloodline concluded back in 2017.

It's certainly a surprising twist for anyone who had been following the marketing and advertising campaign for Mayor of Kingstown the trailer prominently featured Mitch, and TV fans had to be eager for Chandler to return to their screens.

But by the end of the show's first episode, though, we can count one major member of that cast out, as Mayor of Kingstown makes the shocking decision to kill Kyle Chandler's character, Mitch McLusky. It's got high production value, occasionally striking visuals, and a cast fit for a big screen epic.

Mayor of Kingstown, Paramount+'s new Taylor Sheridan-helmed crime drama starring Jeremy Renner, is a TV series that, much like Sheridan's other big series Yellowstone, just feels cinematic. The following story contains spoilers for Mayor of Kingstown Episode 1, 'The Mayor of Kingstown.'
