Jeremy Renner has the full support of his Mayor of Kingstown team as he recovers from his snow plough accident.
The actor was rushed to hospital on New Year’s Day after the incident left him ‘completely crushed’ by a 14,000-pound snowplough.
Jeremy, who recently celebrated his 52nd birthday under the care of ICU staff, received extensive bruising on his face, with his 911 report, obtained by TMZ, revealing that he had been bleeding heavily from his head.
However, the Hawkeye star is recovering slowly but surely, and has been sharing updates in the form of Instagram selfies with his fans.
While Jeremy is in hospital, though, fans will be watching the second season of his Paramount+ series.
Starring Emma Laird, Kyle Chandler, and Nichole Galicia, the thrilling crime show follows the McLusky family in Kingstown, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry.

Jeremy plays Mike in the drama, with creator Hugh Dillon fully prepared to make adjustments should the Marvel star return for a third outing.
Speaking to Deadline, the brain behind the show confirmed that he was informed of Jeremy’s injuries ‘from one of the other producers.’
‘I saw it on the news and then he sent me a video,’ he said.
‘He’s very funny. I just think the world of that guy and I’m happy he’s surrounded by his family.’

Offering his full support, Hugh added: ‘Anything we can do to help, we will.
‘That’s the biggest thing. He’s like family.’
It’s yet to be revealed whether the show has been picked up for a third instalment, but Hugh has teased that he has ‘multiple ideas for multiple seasons.’
‘If everything went according to plan with Paramount+ and the rest of it, I would think that we’d start in August, September, maybe pre-production in the summer,’ he shared.

Meanwhile, Jeremy is taking things one day at a time but still keeping his followers in the loop, recently posting a video being wheeled into a scan.
He wrote in the caption: ‘I wish you all a special night,’ while appearing to say in the clip: ‘Once again.’
The video showed a Canon scanner, presumably for either a CT or a MRI scan, in the room, as other hospital workers were seen present in the room to help him with his treatment.

She praised: ‘We couldn’t feel more positive about the road ahead. If anyone knows Jeremy, he is a fighter and doesn’t mess around.’
