Jeremy Renner is back in action.
The 53-year-old actor has returned to work on his Paramount+ drama Mayor of Kingstown as it begins filming its third season in Pittsburgh.
Renner has been recovering from a devastating snowplow accident from December 2022, that nearly claimed his life.
“Day one on set … nervous today,” Renner wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. “Hope this works out that I can ACTUALLY pull this off for our production and more importantly the fans.”
Renner told CNN during its New Year’s Eve coverage last month: “It’s been a really wonderful, wonderfully busy year, and I think I’m ready,” he said of returning for season three. “I think I’m strong enough. We’ll see. I mean, I literally go back in a week. But I’ll be doing my best, trying my hardest.”
Renner was critically injured after being run over by a 14,300-pound snowcat at his home in Reno, Nevada. The actor previously said he was attempting to stop the snowplow from hitting his nephew when he got pulled underneath the PistenBully, leaving him with 30 broken bones.
In an April interview, Renner told ABC News‘ Diane Sawyer that he had his rib cage rebuilt with metal, along with metal plates in his face to support his eye socket and titanium rods in one of his legs. He has also continued to share updates about his road to recovery on social media throughout the year.
Kingstown “follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.”
