Mayor of Kingstown | Dianne Wiest Addresses the RAGE of Season 1 While Looking Ahead to Season 2

Mayor of Kingstown Season 1 is now available to own on Blu-ray and DVD, with more than two hours of bonus content, including multiple behind-the-scenes featurettes. Ahead of the Paramount+ series being released to home video, PopCulture.com had a chance to speak with series star Dianne Wiest to discuss her character, who she says has a "rage" inside, as well as the "injustices" that led her to take the role.
In Mayor of Kingstown, Wiest plays widowed McLusky family matriarch Miriam - mother to Jeremy Renner's Mike McLusky, Taylor Handley's Kyle McLusky, and Kyle Chandler's Mitch McLusky, who dies a terribly unfortunate death at the beginning of the show. Mitch was the unofficial "Mayor" of Kingstown, Michigan, and worked as a power broker between the local gangs and law enforcement. Following his death, Mike takes over for him, and it becomes very clear, very quickly, that Miriam and Mike are like an angel and devil warring on Taylor's police detective shoulders. Mike seems to be pulling him further into the fray, but Miriam just wants him safe.
