Paramount+ has officially renewed Tulsa King for a third season, continuing the story of Dwight “The General” Manfredi, played by Sylvester Stallone. The show, which follows a New York mafia capo adjusting to life in Tulsa, Oklahoma after a long prison sentence, has been a major hit for the streaming platform. Notably, the Season 2 premiere saw a 934% increase in social media engagement compared to the first season.
Renewal and Production Updates
The decision to renew Tulsa King for Season 3 came after the show’s massive success on Paramount+.
Filming for the third season is already underway, with production taking place in both Atlanta and Oklahoma. However, there has been a notable change behind the scenes:
- New Showrunner: Dave Erickson will take over as the sole showrunner for Season 3.
- Taylor Sheridan’s Role: While Sheridan, the series creator, is stepping away from day-to-day operations, he will remain involved as an executive producer.
The transition marks a shift in creative direction, which could bring fresh perspectives to the show while maintaining its gritty and compelling storytelling.
Expected Release Date
As of now, Paramount+ has not officially announced the release date for Season 3. However, based on the production timeline, industry insiders estimate a premiere in late 2025 or early 2026.
Season 2 is set to premiere soon, and its success will likely determine how quickly Paramount+ moves forward with the next installment.
What to Expect in Season 3
While specific plot details remain under wraps, Season 3 is expected to continue Dwight Manfredi’s journey as he expands his criminal empire in Tulsa while dealing with threats from rivals and law enforcement. Some key elements to watch for include:
- Power Struggles: The new season will likely explore how Dwight maintains control amid growing opposition.
- New Alliances & Enemies: Fresh characters could enter the mix, either as allies or as threats to his operations.
- Personal Challenges: As Dwight grows his empire, personal stakes will remain high, especially with family and old connections from his New York past.
With Stallone at the helm, fans can expect a mix of action, drama, and dark humor that has made Tulsa King a standout in the crime genre.
