Popular actor Jeremy Renner is cautiously navigating his return to the set of the Paramount+ show "Mayor of Kingstown" after a snowplow accident left him critically injured over a year ago. Renner, known for his role as Mike McLusky in the Taylor Sheridan drama, recently shared his thoughts on filming the third season of the series.
In an interview with People, Renner expressed his reservations about the upcoming season, stating, "I don't know if I'm looking forward to it." He shared that he prefers to approach things one step at a time, emphasizing the importance of taking things slowly. Renner admitted that he is tentative about his confidence in work but finds excitement when he is in the rhythm of filming.
The "Mayor of Kingstown" revolves around a family's efforts to maintain peace in a fictional Michigan town plagued by street gangs, prisoners, guards, and cops. Renner returned to the set on January 10, more than a year after the unfortunate accident that occurred at his home in Reno, Nevada. The accident resulted in the actor sustaining 30 broken bones, requiring extensive medical intervention, including the rebuilding of his rib cage with metal, plates in his face, and titanium rods in one of his legs.
Throughout his recovery process, Renner has remained open about his journey on social media, sharing updates with his fans. In a social media post about his first day back on set, he expressed his nervousness and hopes for a successful production. Renner's dedication to his work and the support of his fans have motivated him to give his best despite the challenges he has faced.
As Renner delves deeper into filming the current season, he describes the process as "arduous," involving long days in freezing cold temperatures in Pittsburgh. However, he remains excited about being back on set. Due to his ongoing lower body strength recovery, Renner admits to feeling apprehensive about slipping and falling.
In a previous interview with CNN, Renner had expressed his determination to give his best when he returned to the set. He mentioned feeling ready and strong enough to take on the demands of filming the new season of "Mayor of Kingstown."
Renner's resilience and commitment to his craft stand as a testament to his dedication as an actor. As he navigates the challenges of returning to the set following his life-altering accident, fans eagerly await the release of the new season, cheering him on every step of the way.
