Mariam’s Mayor of Kingstown season 3 fate after the season 2 cliffhanger is addressed by series co-creator Hugh Dillon.

Speaking exclusively to Screen Rant, Dillon talked about the death of Mike McLusky’s mother Mariam, who was killed in the violent shootout at the end of Mayor of Kingstown season 2, and what her fate means for season 3. Check out his remarks below:

The thing that I love about it is, those are the intricacies of human emotion that I’m talking about that fascinates me in how we absorb death and destruction and violence with our loved ones. I have lived elements of that with friends who have passed away, and violently or not, to be able to explore that is exciting because we’re not pulling any punches. And then the other thing that when Taylor [Sheridan] and I first started this show and talking about it, we wanted to make it real and authentic and a movie, and to do that, you have to start with no one is safe and nothing is sacred.

This was like 15 years ago, Taylor had that opening of Mitch, before we even knew that Kyle Chandler would play Mitch, getting taken out out of the gate. And that was like 2004 or ’05, it went back a long time ago, just that initial thing. And that kind of has been our north star ever since, because that is where we exist, that’s where I exist in reality and with people, places, and things and friends. Life is fragile and unpredictable, and for some reason, we think it isn’t.

More to come…
