Paramount+ Removes Wounds From Jeremy Renner's Face In 'Mayor Of Kingstown' Promo

The show's co-creator says the network is 'sensitive to Jeremy' after his nearly fatal snowplow accident.

Paramount+ has changed the promo for Mayor of Kingstown following Jeremy Renner's horrific snow plow injury that occurred on January 1.

While the key image—featuring the show's star—remains the same, Renner's face on the promo is now clear of bloody wounds.


You can see the before and after below.

The show's co-creator Hugh Dillon told Hollywood Reporter:

"It's good of the network."
"Everybody is sensitive to Jeremy."

Just days after his accident, Renner posted an update to Instagram revealing wounds to his face, bearing a likeness to the Mayor of Kingstown original promo.

Many on Twitter chimed in the decision to change the image was respectable.


Some felt while it was honorable of the network to make changes out of sensitivity for the actor's family, friends and fans, the art was made for a fictional series and people are aware that it's not reality.


Of the design itself, some think the changes don't make much of an impact overall.


As far as the future of the series goes, Renner finished wrapping production on season two before his accident occurred.

Earlier this week, Renner replied to a tweet by the Mayor of Kingstown account, revealing he is now at home.

He tweeted:

"Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home."

We wish him well as he continues to recover.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
