Mayor of Kingstown: Aidan Gillen & Emma Laird on Their Characters' Connection

From Taylor Sheridan (co-creator of Yellowstone) and Hugh Dillon, the 10-episode Paramount+ drama series Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family in Kingstown, Michigan, where brothers Mike (Jeremy Renner, who’s also an executive producer on the project) and Mitch (Kyle Chandler) are the local power brokers between the inmates in prison and those that are paid to keep them incarcerated. In a town that must maintain a balance of corruption and inequality to survive, the definition of justice is bent to the point of being unrecognizable.

During this interview with Collider, co-stars Aidan Gillen (who plays Milo, a crime boss who currently resides in one of the prisons in Kingstown) and Emma Laird (who plays Iris, an associate of Milo’s who gets summoned to Kingstown) talked about what attracted them to this series, the strength of the scripts, the fun of peeling back so many layers of a character, the trick to playing someone in prison, and what it’s like to be a woman in this world.
