Over the first two Mayor of Kingstown seasons, Milo was a powerful, elusive villain who escaped from prison during the riots, then went on to threaten Mike and Iris (Emma Laird) throughout season 2. Season 2's Kingstown season finale saw Milo allegedly meeting his death in a boat explosion; Season 3 not only confirmed his death but also revealed how Tatiana sold him out to Konstantin, who set up his death.
Konstantin seemed deadly immediately as he was able to out-fox Milo and take him off the picture. But as Dillon hinted at in his latest comments, the dark and psychopathic aspect of the character was shown when he coldly and mercilessly shot Tatiana down in the most startling moment from Mayor of Kingstown Season 3, episode 1. That scene helped define the new stakes for the rest of season 3 by proving Konstantin would not hesitate to kill, unlike Milo, who seemed to favor plotting and persuasion over straight-forward murder.
Spoilers for season 3, episode 1 of Mayor of Kingstown are included here.
Show co-creator Hugh Dillon teases Konstantin, the new Russian Mafia Villain in season 3. Jeremy Renner is returning as Mike McLusky in Mayor of Kingstown season 3 after miraculously recovering from a near-fatal snowplow accident. Renner has a new sparring partner in Yorick van Wageningen, who plays the lethal mafia villain Konstantin, following Mike's arch-nemesis Milo (Aidan Gillen) all-but-confirmed to be dead.
Jeremy Renner plays Mike McLusky, who replaces his brother as head of the family, in the drama-thrills Mayor of Kingstown. Power brokers from Kingstown, Michigan, the McLusky family operate in a field where incarceration is the only profitable venture. Examining issues of systematic racism, corruption, and inequality, the show offers a clear view of their attempt to deliver justice and order to a town without both.
For those who love seeing Renner in a different capacity, the show is absolutely must-seen. The interesting plot and well-known characters of the show have attracted attention. The suspense in every episode will most definitely appeal to viewers.
While Mayor of Kingstown co-creator Dillon hinted at the psychopathic, but charming, nature of the character, exclusively telling Screen Rant about what inspired him and co-writer Taylor Sheridan to create this new antagonist, teasing how the character embodies the elements of darkness they are trying to explore with the show. Exactly how brutal Konstantin might prove to be is yet unknown. Examine his comments below:
As you are aware, this is going to develop and I do not want to share any of it. Though I'm not sure if I can; I'm not sure what the protocol is; but, it's an exciting trip. The richness of the human feeling intrigues me. Growing up in Vancouver, you would see a serial killer arrested in the jail town where I was raised. I was a young child the time. And in the next instant you realize they are now a mile from your house and have been moved to your town.
This feature always fascinates me, and Taylor [Sheridan] and all the other members of the program really excite me. There is a darkness that captivates us; this kind of old, seductive psychopath seems to capture all those components. I'm reluctant to donate anything since I've had s--t for it past. That is the way politics of event planning are. But this is an amazing season. It's very fascinating the speed, the complexity of these people, and what Renner does with them.
You can stream Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount+. Entering Mayor of Kingstown season 3, Mike had enough to handle including the emotional fallout from the death of his mother Mariam. He hardly needed a fresh bad man in town who would not hesitate to murder anyone in his way. With Konstantin's entrance, it seems that Dillon and Sheridan have discovered a way to make their Paramount+ series even darker than before—which most certainly seems to be an intriguing development.
The show has attracted lot of popularity and critical interest. Considering the gloom the show seems to be growing in. It's a gripping story, really.
