In season 4, episode 2 of Mayor of Kingstown, Carney is unexpectedly killed by Cortez (Derek Rivera). This abruptly ends his character arc and leaves Mike without a key supporter.
In addition to bringing back Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard), Welcome to Derry featured a new group of characters – some with connections to the original Losers’ Club from the IT movies. These included Major Leroy Hanlon, Lilly Bainbridge, Ronnie, Teddy Uris, Matty Clements, and Dick Hallorann from The Shining. This cast is central to the prequel’s story and helps explain the events of 2017’s IT: Chapter One.

The show High Potential has kept a large portion of its original audience throughout 2025, especially when counting viewers who record and watch later, meaning millions now know her as a consultant for the LAPD with an incredible memory.

Prime Video has become a great place to find shows dads love, like Reacher and Jack Ryan, but Bosch stands out as the most captivating. Starring Titus Welliver, Bosch ran for seven seasons and consistently received high praise from critics.
