Season 4 of Mayor of Kingstown has quickly become gripping, and there’s a key piece of information Jeremy Renner’s character, Mike McLusky, is about to uncover. As the informal mayor of Kingstown, Mike is a central figure and is usually the first to know when trouble arises.

Mike has faced challenges recently in adapting to changing circumstances, especially because many in the legal world haven’t been quick to accept new approaches.

The show started in 2021 with Mike unexpectedly becoming mayor after his brother, Mitch, was murdered. Overwhelmed by the responsibility, Mike soon discovered Iris, a young girl being mistreated by the Russian mafia.

Mike saved Iris from a difficult and unhappy life, giving her a home, food, and unconditional love. They shared a close but purely platonic relationship, and Mike worked tirelessly to help her build an independent life far from Kingstown.

It seems Mike’s well-being and achievements are connected to Iris, the woman he rescued.

Okay, so the end of Mayor of Kingstown season 3 is truly heartbreaking. After being put in the impossible position of having to kill Konstantin, Iris makes the devastating decision to leave Kingstown. But her escape doesn’t lead to freedom – she takes her own life on the bus, unable to envision a future without Mike or anything resembling the life she knew. It’s a really tough moment, and honestly, a gut punch to watch.

In the first episode of Mayor of Kingstown season 4, Ian learns about Iris’s death through a police alert. He decides not to tell Mike, specifically wanting to keep it a secret from him. Despite being a supportive friend and believer in Mike’s work as mayor, Ian’s choice to hide this news implies he’s concerned about how Mike would react.

Given that Mike recently took his brother to prison and with the ongoing gang violence in Kingstown, Ian worries Mike is already overwhelmed and can’t cope with more upsetting news. However, the way Mike eventually learns the truth could make things significantly worse.

What Will Happen To Mike After Learning Of Iris’ Death?

Kingstown is currently facing a lot of turmoil and danger. Mike recently lost his mother to Milo, and his brother, a police officer, is in prison and in serious danger. The news that Iris has died will undoubtedly have a profound impact on Mike, despite everything he’s tried to do.

As a film buff, I really think Mike needs to be told about Iris. If Ian handles it right – finds a calm moment, not when everything’s already falling apart – Mike might actually be able to process it. But honestly, I’m worried someone else will find out and use Iris’s death to hurt him, and that could be a total disaster. It’s a delicate situation, and timing is everything.

Ian believes hiding the truth about Iris’ death is the right thing to do for Mike, but his actions could actually cause bigger problems in season 4 of Mayor of Kingstown.
