Once you become a fan of Mayor of Kingstown, you might start researching about more shows like it and find a surprising connection — the co-creators who made Kingstown are also part of the team that brings the critically acclaimed Yellowstone to life!
Not only does Yellowstone have a lot of seasons, it has also a prequel and a few spin-offs. This has got fans wondering if Mayor of Kingstown connected to Yellowstone as well? Do they take place in the same universe?
Mayor of Kingstown is not set within the Yellowstone universe, neither is it connected to the story or the characters in any way. It is an independent show created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon that takes place during a contemporary timeline.
Both Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown are quite intense dramas that chronicle dark themes and grimy storylines. So it is easy to assume that since they share the same creative team, they could be part of the same universe.
However, the answer is quite clear cut: Mayor of Kingstown is not connected to Yellowstone at all. The only common connection they have is offscreen with Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon co-creating Mayor Kingstown together, while the former also co-created Yellowstone and the latter starred in it.
Will Mayor of Kingstown and Yellowstone have a crossover?
It is unlikely that the Mayor of Kingstown and Yellowstone will have a crossover as they are not set in the same universe, nor is the story or characters related in any way. The narrative focus of each show is also significantly different from each other.
If you focus into each franchise’s story as well, you’ll realize that they’re quite different from each other.
Yellowstone is a neo-Western drama that delves into land and ownership politics and cultural divide. Mayor of Kingstown, on the other hand, is set in a post-industrial landscape that showcases class divide and cities that function on prison-led economies.
Since their settings are so different, it would be difficult for the shows to have a crossover that made sense story-wise. For this reason, the two shows will continue to stay independent of each other — which is still great to enjoy as is!
