David Morse (“We Were Liars”) has joined the cast of Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ drama “Mayors of Kingstown,” co-starring Jeremy Renner and Edie Falco. Season 5 of the series has begun production and, as previously announced, will be the final season of the series.

Here’s the logline for Season 5: “In the wake of Tracy’s murder and Mike (Renner) and Kyle’s (Taylor Hundley) revenge on Callahan, FBI agent Russell Hardy (Morss) arrives in Kingstown in search of the ‘fugitive’ Callahan. Agent Hardy, a true lawman, threatens to expose all of Mike’s sins and secrets and disrupt Kingstown society. A delicate balance of power.”
