10 Things To Remember Before Season 3

Plenty of major events that happened in Mayor of Kingstown season 2 set up the drama’s return with Mayor of Kingstown season 3, but 10 things in particular need to be remembered ahead of Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 1’s release on June 2, 2024. The prison riots of season 1 reverberated throughout Mayor of Kingstown season 2, with their aftermath making it evident that the chaos in Anchor Bay, which eliminated the gangs’ leaderships inside, caused an all-out war outside, letting many innocent lives pay the price in the streets of Kingstown before the mayor’s intervention.

While brokering peace by letting the leaders of the Crips, Bloods, Mexicans and the Aryan Brotherhood be arrested and sort their groups from inside the prison was a major storyline in Mayor of Kingstown season 2, Mike McLusky also had his hands full with Milo’s escape after the riots. This made Mike’s attempts to save Iris from Milo another central storyline throughout Mayor of Kingstown season 2, along with keeping the peace between the interim DA and the police, given Evelyn’s determination to find out the truth about Robert’s team’s actions during the prison riots, especially after Ben Morrissey’s death.

Milo’s Call To Tati Hinted At Him Cheating Death Again

Mike’s mayor business kept him from exchanging the bonds for Iris’s freedom with Milo twice in Mayor of Kingstown season 2’s finale, even having serious repercussions given that the shootout at his house got his and Kyle’s mother, Mariam, wounded. However, once the exchange happened and Milo attempted to leave Kingstown on his boat with the bonds, his boat exploded, making many wonder whether the explosion was a ploy with which Milo cheated death again or the end of the Russian mobster.

Milo’s call to Tatiana at the club revealed everything went smoothly, heavily hinting that Milo might have successfully faked his own death again. Still, the boat exploded with Milo seemingly onboard, making it imperative for Mayor of Kingstown season 3 to explain what really happened to Milo, whether he successfully escaped with millions making everyone believe him dead or died in a bid to be free.

Mayor Of Kingstown Season 2’s Finale Didn’t Clarify Mariam’s Fate

Mike being unable to make the first meeting with Milo because of the AB hit on him in Mayor of Kingstown season 2’s finale brought the fight into his mother’s house, with the shootout between his side, composed of him, Kyle and Ian, and Milo’s goons having Mariam as an unintended victim. Mayor of Kingstown season 2, episode 10 left Kyle at Mariam’s bedside after his bullets hit her in the chaos, with Mariam in critical condition and awaiting surgery.

While the Mayor of Kingstown season 2 finale didn’t specify whether Mariam’s survival was likely or not, Dianne Wiest exiting Mayor of Kingstown season 3 heavily hints Mariam might die from the injuries sustained in the shootout. However, given the importance of Mariam in Kyle and Mike’s lives and the violence of the mayor business having already killed Mitch and their father, Mayor of Kingstown season 3 will have to reveal Mariam’s fate.

8 Robert Is On Life Support After The Hit From Bunny’s Gang

Robert’s Condition Is Serious After The Crips’ Revenge

Bunny’s foot soldiers beating Robert in Mayor of Kingstown season 2, episode 9 caused animosity both between the police and the gangs, and between Bunny and Mike. Robert being in the hospital even prompted Mike’s unusual display of aggressiveness against Bunny in Mayor of Kingstown season 2’s finale, but the attack didn’t come out of the blue, given that Bunny voiced multiple times his need to see Robert punished for all the gang members he killed in the prison riots and the house Robert raided.

With Robert’s potential death causing an all-out war in Kingstown as the police would want their revenge and Mike clearly telling Bunny their relationship would forever be changed if Robert died, Mayor of Kingstown season 3 will have to reveal whether Robert will live or die after his attack.

Having also found himself to be the four biggest gang leaders’ “babysitter” because of Mike in Mayor of Kingstown season 2, Kareem’s refusal to have anything to do with Mike makes sense. Still, refusing to engage with Mike can make everything more difficult for Kareem, Mike and Kingstown in Mayor of Kingstown season 3, especially considering how important is for Mike’s role to get messages into Anchor Bay.

While Mike, Kyle, Ian and various other police officers opposed the IA investigation, Evelyn strongly wanted Robert to pay, making the discovery of his team member Ben Morrissey wanting to tell the truth about what happened in the riots a goldmine for the interim DA.

Ian’s wish to protect Robert as he saw him as a hero prompted him to bring Charlie, a convicted serial killer with whom he was friendly, over to Morrissey as a show of force to convince him not to testify against Robert. When Morrissey got angry, things got exponentially worse, as Charlie killed him, afraid he was about to hurt Ian. Despite this happening midway into Mayor of Kingstown season 2, it could still have repercussions for Ian, were his actions to be uncovered by Evelyn in Mayor of Kingstown season 3.

1 Peace Was Brokered In The Streets After The Riots But Only Bunny Is Out Of Prison

The Prison Riots In Season 1 Caused Chaos But Season 2 Partially Solved It

The principal reason for sending the leaders of the major Kingstown gangs to Anchor Bay in Mayor of Kingstown season 2 was to create order inside so that gangs wouldn’t senselessly attack other gangs, causing great collateral damage, on the outside. This was essentially achieved in Mayor of Kingstown season 2, as Bunny’s cousin was installed to keep the Crips in line inside, and all leaders agreed to work together to establish order, as achieving that would have given them back their freedom.

However, Mayor of Kingstown season 2’s finale only had Bunny finally free. At the same time, the Mexicans were leaderless, the Bloods leader was still inside, and Gunner was jointly attacked by Bloods and Crips, making the situation evidently tilted in favor of the Crips. This could potentially cause problems for Mike in Mayor of Kingstown season 3, as he could be accused of favoring his friend Bunny over all the other leaders, despite having brokered that deal only to promote peace in Anchor Bay and outside in Kingstown.
