Various fans have taken to Reddit to urge the creator of 'Mayor of Kingstown' for a prequel show.

Reddit discussions are filled with detailed theories and suggestions about what a prequel could cover. Fans are proposing ideas ranging from exploring the early days of Kingstown and its power structures to uncovering the backstories of the McLusky family.

While sharing a picture of Mike and Mitch McLusky (Kyle Chandler) on Reddit, a fan wrote, "Typically, I have no interest in prequels. but I’d be plenty excited about this one."

Demanding for a prequel show, a fan wrote on Reddit, "I agree! There are so many things I'd like to know, such as what Mike went to prison for (my headcanon: he took the fall for something Mitch did)."

One fan wrote on Reddit, "I really like this idea! “The Making of the Mayor” if you will." While another fan commented on Reddit, "Let’s hope a friend of Taylor Sheridan reads these posts and creates something overnight."

One fan requested on Reddit, "I just wanna know what Mike did to end up in prison just a episode or some flashbacks of what happened."

Another fan chimed in on Reddit, saying, "I’d love a prequel, or at least have the final season contain flashbacks to flesh out Mike and Mitch’s past. Also, I’d love to know more about their dad because he was supposedly a career criminal as well."

One fan commented on Reddit, "At this point I'd like the current show to end as it feels like all we've gotten is filler the past 2 seasons. A prequel with a logical ending point would be great tho." While another fan commented on Reddit, "Id definitely be game for a prequel. Jeremy Renner is an amazing actor."

A fan wrote on Reddit, "There’s still story to be told if Mike in prison and how his brother ran things in comparison." While another fan said on Reddit, "Definitely would good."

Mitch's death in Season 1 of 'Mayor of Kingstown' left a significant gap in the narrative, hinting at an untold story about his relationship with Mike.

A prequel show could explore the complex dynamic between Mitch and Mike, shedding light on their brotherly bond, conflicts, and the ways in which their relationship evolved.

It could also delve deeper into how the McLusky family established and maintained their power in Kingstown. It could explore the family's history, their rise to prominence, and the internal and external challenges they faced. 

It could delve into Mike's prison term and his transformation into a con man. The prequel could detail the events that led to Mike's incarceration, including his criminal activities, personal choices, and the specific incidents that resulted in his conviction.
