Jeremy Renneris back on the set ofMayor of Kingstownfor the first time since hissnow plow accidenton New Year’s Day in 2023.
“Day one on set … nervous today,” Renner, 52, wrote onInstagram. “Hope this works out that I can ACTUALLY pull this off for our production and more importantly the fans.”
At the same time, Paramount+ officially announced production had begun on the forthcoming third season of the series, which “follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry,” per a release.
Just one week prior to making his return, Renner appeared on theEllen K Morning Showon KOST 103.5 FM, where hejoked that his motherValerie “really wanted to burn this Snowcat” following his accident, but he added that he “understands why” she said that.
“I was like, ‘No mom we’re not, I need that thing to get in and out of the driveway [laughs], or we’re getting get stuck there,’” Renner said. “But we have the power to shift the narrative to shift it into something else.”
He continued, “It’s our job to change the narrative and perspective on this because otherwise we can sit and be victims and suffer and be insufferable and have January 1st be not a day to celebrate or that the snowcat’s a bad thing, but no we need all these things, they’re beautiful things.”

“The first thing I said was I was sorry when I woke up because I knew what transpired and damn I know what that might feel like on the other side too, that’s pretty harrowing to make someone feel that terror,” he said.

“There was a lot for me to fight for, and recovery was just a one-way road in my mind,” he said on the radio show. “My recovery became relief for me, because I knew I could give relief to my family, my daughter and all those that I really affected. And my poor nephew, who was there with me on that day, I gave him images that he can never unsee, but I know that my healing would be healing for him.”
On Ellen K’s show, Renner also discussed his new EP Love and Titanium, which is set to release on Jan. 19. He said that recording the tracks was “healing,” and he hopes the album “does good things for other people.”
