Taylor Sheridan’s hit gangster series Tulsa King finally returned for its sophomore season in 2024, but will it score a third season renewal?. Debuting in 2022 and developed by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, Tulsa King concerns disgraced former mafioso Dwight “The General” Manfredi who is exiled to Oklahoma where he begins to establish his own criminal enterprise. Anchored by Sylvester Stallone in his first major TV role, Tulsa King combines the neo-Western excitement of Sheridan’s oeuvre with the added flair of the gangster genre for an interesting result. A second season was quickly announced, but delays hampered its progress.
Fortunately, Tulsa King season 2 finally did arrive in September 2024, and the series didn’t miss a beat as The General returned with a heap of new trouble to deal with. The arrival of rival criminal enterprises threatens Dwight’s burgeoning empire, and he has to use his unique set of skills to dispatch those who want to muscle in on his territory. With a name like Sylvester Stallone attached to the cast of Tulsa King, the chance of a third season is never off the table. However, the fate of the Taylor Sheridan hit hasn’t been decided yet.
Tulsa King Season 3 Latest News
Stallone Seemingly Confirms Season 3
Though official confirmation of another season remains elusive, the latest news sees Sylvester Stallone reveal development on Tulsa King season 3. The Dwight Manfredi star took to his official Instagram account to celebrate the success of the show’s sophomore season, and couldn’t help but reveal that work was already underway on season 3. Despite this, Tulsa King season 3 hasn’t scored a green-light from Paramount+ yet, and it’s unclear when the show could be renewed.
Tulsa King Season 3 Is Not Confirmed
Paramount+ Hasn’t Ordered Season 3 Yet
A series like Tulsa King may seem like a slam dunk for Paramount+, but the streamer hasn’t announced a third season yet. This is likely due to the fact that season 2 was delayed for so long because of the 2023 Hollywood strikes. The first season had a lot of momentum due to Stallone’s TV debut, but a nearly two-year wait may have extinguished interest in the burgeoning series. However, the overwhelming popularity of Taylor Sheridan’s shows doesn’t seem to wane, regardless of real-world factors, and season 3 is never off the table.
It’s important to note that Paramount+ wasted no time in renewing Tulsa King for its second season, and if the show proves to be just as popular the second time around, the news will also probably come sooner than later. However, until the streaming data is available for the sophomore season, the jury is still out on the next season.
Tulsa King Season 3 Cast
Will Stallone Return As “The General”
Predicting the cast of Tulsa King season 3 isn’t easy since the events of season 2 will likely take more than a few pieces off the board before its all said and done. However, it’s assumed that Sylvester Stallone will be back as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, since it’s his star power that has anchored the series thus far. Another near-certain return is that of Jay Will as Tyson, Dwight’s driver, while The General’s family will also likely return, including Annabella Sciorra’s Joanne and Tatiana Zappardino’s Tina.
