Jeremy Renner may do a bang-up job for Mayor of Kingstown, but there’s no reason why he needs to actually look it.
Out of respect for the star, who was recently hospitalized after a freak snowplow accident, Paramount+ updated their key art so Renner wouldn’t look so, well, damaged. The previous shot that was taken to promote season 2, which launched on Sunday, showed the actor with multiple face cuts that he presumably suffered after walking into last season’s prison riot.
In the new image, Renner only looks kind of dirty, not hurt-y.
Renner had been hospitalized since Jan. 1 after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow at his Lake Tahoe home. After undergoing two surgeries, Renner posted a pic of himself that looked eerily similar to the show’s original key art.

Earlier Tuesday, Renner told fans via social media that he’s out of the hospital and recovering at home after the New Year’s Day snowplow accident that left him in critical condition.
In a reply to a tweet Monday night, Renner said “Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home.”

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot points from the season 2 premiere of Mayor of Kingstown.
The reductive take on Taylor Sheridan-made media— and perhaps particularly, the gritty and rugged Paramount+ series “Mayor Of Kingstown” (co-created with Hugh Dillon, one of the series co-stars)— is that it’s macho, maybe even toxically masculine; narratives about aggressive men that feel they must defend their fiefdoms, no matter the size, no matter the cost. In that sense, Sheridan’s work feels so innately American, and maybe that’s why he gets labeled as a Red State creator so often, given so many of his gruff characters seem to have a “don’t tread on me” philosophy of life (think the beautiful loser criminals of “Hell or Highwater”).
Jeremy Renner celebrated his 52nd birthday while in hospital over the weekend. The American Hustle star took to his Instagram Stories on Saturday to share a photo of himself sitting in a hospital bed while surrounded by medical professionals. "Thank you renowned medical ICU team for beginning this journey," he wrote.
