Taylor Sheridan is easily one of the best creators working on TV today, and a crime thriller series created by him, which has sadly been cancelled after five seasons, is a must-watch once it drops on Netflix. When one thinks of Sheridan, the first franchise that comes to mind has to be the Yellowstone TV empire. After all, he started a new age of Western TV shows.

Yellowstone and two of the many planned Yellowstone spinoffs, 1883 and 1923, have all come and gone. That said, Sheridan still has a lot of plans in mind, both for further projects set within the Yellowstone franchise and new Westerns. However, that is not all Sheridan has excelled at, as the creator is behind a few hit crime thrillers, and one of them is surprisingly coming to Netflix.

A Surprising Taylor Sheridan Series Is Coming To Netflix

During Netflix's fourth-quarter earnings call, it was revealed that Taylor Sheridan's Mayor of Kingstown will debut on Netflix in the United States in 2026. The move is part of the streamer's push to get more licensed content, and it is a huge deal, as this will mark the first time a Sheridan series is on a streamer that isn't Paramount+ in the US since Yellowstone on Peacock.

Mayor Of Kingstown Season 4 Review: I'm Awed By How Good Jeremy Renner's Series Has Become In Its Best Season Yet

Jeremy Renner's Mayor of Kingstown season 4 is back with some of the darkest and most intense storylines yet, putting the series at an all-time high.

The news is exciting for Sheridan fans at Netflix who have yet to check out one of his hit shows. It is also a positive update for Mayor of Kingstown after the series was recently cancelled, with the announced season 5 set to be the final entry in the show. Mayor of Kingstown's viewership is bound to skyrocket on Netflix.

Why Mayor Of Kingstown Is Worth Watching When It Releases On Netflix

At this time, there is no certain release date other than 2026 for Mayor of Kingstown to come to Netflix in the United States. That said, both Sheridan fans who have yet to start the show and crime thriller enthusiasts, of which Netflix has in droves, should get ready to binge this electrifying TV show as soon as it drops.

Mayor of Kingstown stars Marvel's Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, who becomes the new "Mayor" after his brother's death and must keep the peace in a town where the main business is the prison system. Mike, a former inmate himself, understands the incarceration business like few, and he has to wrestle with growing egos, gangs, corruption, and more.

While Mayor of Kingstown has an overall critics' score of 65%, the show has only gotten better with every new season. Mayor of Kingstown season 4 boasts a perfect 100% score. The Taylor Sheridan crime thriller is led by Jeremy Renner's magnetic performance as Mike, with the MCU star bringing gravitas and a swagger to the morally grey character. Mayor of Kingstown is a must-watch when it comes to Netflix.
