Jeremy Renner may do a bang-up job for Mayor of Kingstown, but there’s no reason why he needs to actually look it.
Out of respect for their star, who was recently hospitalized after a freak snowplow accident, Paramount+ updated their key art so Renner wouldn’t look so, well, damaged. The previous shot that was taken to promote season 2, which launched on Sunday, showed the actor with multiple face cuts that he presumably suffered after walking into last season’s prison riot.
In the new image above, Renner only looks kind of dirty, not hurt-y.

Earlier Tuesday, Renner told fans via social media that he’s out of the hospital and recovering at home after the New Year’s Day snowplow accident that left him in critical condition.
In a reply to a tweet Monday night, Renner said “Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home.” Renner had been hospitalized since Jan. 1 after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow at his Lake Tahoe home. He underwent two surgeries after suffering blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries in the accident.
