The Paramount+ show has been filming its third season in the Pittsburgh area. The Pennsylvania Film Office is giving its producers a $27 million film tax credit, saying the series has brought in over $90 million to the regional economy and created more than 3,000 jobs.
The show's third season is Renner's first work since a life-threatening snowplow accident on New Year's Day last year. In an interview earlier this year, Renner told PEOPLE filming was "arduous" because he's been working 14- and 18-hour days "in the freezing cold outside in Pittsburgh."
The new season promises a new face from the Russian mob and a drug war. "The pressure is on Mike McLusky (Renner) to end the war but things get complicated when a familiar face from his incarcerated past threatens to undermine the 'Mayor's' attempts to keep the peace among all factions," Paramount+'s description reads.
Paramount+ says season three will drop on the streaming service on June 2.
Disclosure: Paramount+ and KDKA-TV are owned by Paramount Global.
