Is 'Mayor of Kingstown' linked to 'Yellowstone'? 'MoK' star and series co-creator reveals the truth
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Mayor of Kingstown' and 'Yellowstone' are created by Taylor Sheridan, and it's not surprising that fans often wonder if there's an official connection between the two shows.
Both shows embody Sheridan's distinctive style, known for gritty realism, complex characters, and exploration of themes of family and power dynamics.
However, Jeremy Renner's crime drama, 'Mayor of Kingstown', distinguishes itself with a different style and tone compared to 'Yellowstone'.
Both shows have significantly contributed to Paramount+'s success. Let's discuss how the two shows are connected.
Is 'Mayor of Kingstown' related to 'Yellowstone'?
Although both shows are created by Sheridan, they are not entirely related to each other. Hugh Dillon has also co-created 'Mayor of Kingstown'.
In fact, Dillon presented his concept for a television series inspired by his upbringing in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, to his friend Sheridan. They decided to make 'Mayor of Kingstown,' and the success resulted in the production of three seasons of the show.
Dillon told The Hollywood Reporter, "I grew up in a prison town that had nine penetentiaries." Sheridan delved deeper into the concept and began developing the show.
When asked about the connection between 'Mayor of Kingstown' and 'Yellowstone', Dillon commented, "They were always completely different things, and conceptually, ('Mayor of Kingstown') was conceived first."
His comments suggest that 'Yellowstone' and 'Mayor of Kingstown' are not related at all. Each series stands independently in terms of storyline.
'Yellowstone' showcases expansive landscapes and vibrant colors, in contrast to the darker, grittier scenes depicted in 'Mayor of Kingstown.' This stark difference reinforces that the two series exist in completely separate universes.
