With Season 4 officially confirmed, fans are eager to dive back into the world of Kingstown, Michigan, where the prison industry reigns supreme. Here's everything we know about Mayor of Kingstown Season 4, from its release date to the cast, plot details, and more.

3 underrated Netflix movies you should watch this weekend (June 13-15)
Netflix is filled with movies that are worth your time, but the trouble is that many of them are hard to find. If you're trying to discern which movies you should actually care about, we've got you covered. We've pulled together a list of three great movies that you can watch this weekend. It's hot outside; take a break and enjoy one of these excellent titles: Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+. The Town (2010) Ben Affleck came into full bloom as a director with The Town. Set in his native Boston, the movie follows a group of devil-may-care bank robbers posed with a crisis. Affleck, who also stars in the film, falls in love with a bank teller at one of their jobs. As Affleck's character tries to ease his way out of his criminal life, he finds that his best friend becomes erratic. Featuring a tremendous supporting turn from Jeremy Renner as well as some stunning set pieces, The Town is the kind of crime thriller most people wish there were more of. You can watch The Town on Netflix. Barbarian (2022) One of the most inventive horror movies of the past 10 years, Barbarian is almost literally a thrill ride. It's a movie whose twists and turns are almost impossible to predict, making it difficult to describe. The movie starts out with a relatively simple premise. A woman and a man have discovered that they both booked the same Airbnb, and they decide to stay there together. There's some romantic tension but also something unsettling going on. The rest is best left up to the viewer. Suffice it to say, though, that this movie is stylish, surprising, and a genuine delight. You can watch Barbarian on Netflix. Dune: Part Two (2024) Although there was plenty to admire in Dune, it wasn't until Part Two that director Denis Villeneuve's full vision was realized. The movie follows its central character as he wrestles with his growing messiah complex and desire for revenge against those who destroyed his family. Filled with great performances, Dune: Part Two features the budget to immerse you in a foreign world. Dune was thought to be unadaptable. Thankfully, it turned out not to be, and we got a genuinely thrilling version that paid attention to even the most minute of details. You can watch Dune: Part Two on Netflix.

3 action movies on Netflix you need to watch in June 2025
What's populating the action genre on Netflix? Sicario: Day of the Soldado, the sequel to Denis Villeneuve's Sicario, is being featured on the action homepage. While not as effective as its predecessor, Day of the Soldado features another terrific performance from Benicio del Toro as Alejandro Gillick. Add Soldado to your Netflix queue this month. But first, stream one of our three recommendations below. Our picks include a crime thriller from one of Boston's most famous figures, a feature film adaptation of an espionage TV show, and a Mount Rushmore buddy comedy. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+. The Town (2010) Argo is the culmination of Ben Affleck's career comeback. Argo might have won Best Picture, but The Town is Affleck's best directorial effort. Set in Affleck's homeland of Boston, The Town follows career criminal Doug MacRay (Affleck), the leader of a heist crew who rob banks for money. During one of their holdups, one of Doug's partners, Jem (Jeremy Renner), takes one hostage: bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). After Claire is set free, Doug attempts to gain her trust to figure out what she knows about the robbers. (Doug and his crew wore masks during the robbery.) What Doug didn't plan for is falling in love with Claire. For the first time in his life, Doug sees a future outside of crime and wants out. However, a ruthless gangster (Pete Postlethwaite) and relentless FBI agent (Jon Hamm) won't let Doug escape his life. Stream The Town on Netflix. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) In The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Guy Ritchie took a 1960s spy series and injected it with his signature charisma, witty dialogue, and visual flair. Set during the Cold War, the United States and Russia are on the brink of nuclear war. Two Nazi sympathizers kidnap a German scientist and force him to build a weapon that would start World War III. Two spies on opposite sides of the spectrum — CIA Agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) — team with the daughter of the missing scientist (Alicia Vikander) to save civilization. Cavill might have lost out to Daniel Craig on Bond, but The Man from U.N.C.L.E. proved he was more than capable of playing a charming secret agent. (We don't talk about Argylle.) Stream The Man from U.N.C.L.E. on Netflix. Midnight Run (1988) The 1980s has a strong case for being the top decade for action comedies. 48 Hrs., Beverly Hills Cop, The Naked Gun, Tango & Cash, and arguably the best one of all, Midnight Run. Robert De Niro stars as Jack Walsh, a bounty hunter hired by bail bondsman Eddie Moscone (Joe Pantoliano) to find the mob's accountant, Jonathan 'The Duke' Mardukas (Charles Grodin). Despite being pitched as a simple job (a 'midnight run'), the cross-country chase presents multiple issues for Jack, especially after he finds the Duke and experiences his unpredictable personality. The FBI and the mob might not get a chance to speak with the Duke the way the trip shapes out. You will not find five better tandems within this genre than De Niro and Grodin. Stream Midnight Run on Netflix.
