Where is ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ Filmed? See the Filming Locations

Taylor Sheridan is back with another series that has a location prominently featured in its title. No, it’s not Yellowstone, nor is it Mare of Easttown. We’re talking about Mayor of Kingstown, which debuted on Paramount+ last night (Nov. 16) after new episodes of Yellowstone. We’ll be getting new episodes of the crime thriller weekly alongside Yellowstone, so fans of Sheridan’s can tune in for a weekly marathon of drama. We’ve learned that Yellowstone isn’t actually filmed in Yellowstone, but could Mayor of Kingstown be more faithful to its title?

Sheridan’s new series follows Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, a member of the famed McLusky family, powerful power brokers in Kingstown. In a place where incarceration is the only thriving business, the McLusky family works hard to keep a dollar to their name, even if it leads to corruption. Dealing with themes of systemic racism, inequality, and prison, Mayor of Kingstown is a grisly look at a dark town in America.

But was it filmed in this country? Here’s what you need to know about the production location, setting, and more behind Mayor of Kingstown.

Where is Mayor of Kingstown set?

Mayor of Kingstown takes place in, you guessed it, Kingstown. That’s in Michigan, according to the show. But does Kingstown, MI exist in real life? Let’s look a little closer.

Is Kingstown a real place? Where is Kingstown?

Nope, Kingstown, Michigan is not a real place. There is, however, a Kingston, Michigan. Still, Mayor of Kingstown wasn’t actually based on Kingston, MI. It was, however, based on Kingston, Ontario in Canada, co-creator Hugh Dillon’s hometown. There’s your real life version of Kingstown!

Where was Mayor of Kingstown filmed?

Everything’s up North. Mayor of Kingstown wasn’t filmed in Michigan, but it was filmed in Ontario. Like many other TV series, the Paramount+ series was filmed in Toronto. That’s nearly a three-hour drive from Kingston, ON, though.
