New episodes start streaming Sunday, Sept. 21 only on Paramount+.
Sylvester Stallone is back in the saddle as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, and this time the stakes are even bigger. “Tulsa King” is returning for Season 3 on Paramount+, and it’s once again part of Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding empire, which already includes “Yellowstone,” “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Lioness,” and more. Stallone’s mobster-turned-Oklahoma-crime-boss has some new enemies, new allies, and one giant new complication: Samuel L. Jackson. It’s going to be a wild season, and it all kicks off Sunday, Sept. 21. Here’s everything you need to know before the first episode drops.

What is ‘Tulsa King’ Season 3 about?
Season 3 of “Tulsa King” picks up with Dwight Manfredi’s empire growing fast… maybe too fast. He’s made his mark on Tulsa, but expansion comes with new enemies, and this time, he’s up against the Dunmires, a ruthless old-money family with deep roots in the liquor business and zero interest in playing by mob rules. Robert Patrick plays the patriarch, and Beau Knapp is his wild-card son. Together, they’re a whole new kind of problem for Dwight, who now has to protect not just his crew but also his actual family. And that’s just the local drama.
Things get even messier when Samuel L. Jackson shows up as Russell Lee Washington Jr., an old prison buddy sent by a New York crime family to take Dwight out. He’s not your average hitman though — Washington’s got his own ideas, which eventually spin off into their own series, “NOLA King.” Meanwhile, Dwight’s also dealing with fallout from the Season 2 finale, where an FBI SWAT team dragged him out of bed and told him, “You work for us now.” With all that in play (plus a new mob threat in the Renzettis, and his uneasy alliance with the Kansas City crew) this season is all about survival, loyalty, and whether Dwight can stay in control of the empire he built from scratch.
Who stars in ‘Tulsa King’ Season 3?
Sylvester Stallone is still front and center as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, and he’s joined by a stacked returning cast that includes Martin Starr, Jay Will, Dana Delany, Garrett Hedlund, and Annabella Sciorra. Neal McDonough and Frank Grillo are also back, picking up where Season 2 left off. But this time around, the big additions are Robert Patrick and Beau Knapp, playing Jeremiah and Cole Dunmire — a father-son duo standing in Dwight’s way.
Season 3 also brings in Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a former prison buddy turned potential assassin with ties to a whole new crime family. Kevin Pollak joins as a grudge-holding FBI agent, Bella Heathcote plays a distillery heiress named Cleo Montague, and James Russo shows up as Quiet Ray Renzetti, a New York mob boss with a calm but dangerous vibe. It’s a big ensemble, but make no mistake… this is still Stallone’s show, and he’s squaring off with more enemies than ever.
Tulsa King
New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi is released from prison after 25 years and exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a crew.
Who created ‘Tulsa King’?
“Tulsa King” was created by Taylor Sheridan — the same guy behind “Yellowstone,” “1883,” and “Mayor of Kingstown.” Sheridan actually wrote the first draft of the pilot in under 24 hours, tailoring the role specifically for Sylvester Stallone. He also serves as an executive producer alongside Stallone himself and a group that includes Dave Erickson, who takes over as showrunner for Season 3. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, which are behind most of Sheridan’s other hit shows on Paramount+.
Will there be a Season 4 of ‘Tulsa King’?
Yep, “Tulsa King” is already locked in for Season 4. Paramount+ renewed the show for two more seasons after its breakout success, and the Tulsa crime saga is far from over. Season 3 sets up some big new storylines, including the introduction of Samuel L. Jackson’s character, who’s spinning off into his own series, “NOLA King.” So even as Dwight’s story keeps going, the world of “Tulsa King” is expanding too.
How can you watch the rest of ‘Tulsa King’?
Seasons 1 and 2 of “Tulsa King” are both streaming exclusively on Paramount+, so if you’re just jumping in or need a refresher before Season 3 drops, that’s where to go. All episodes are available on demand, and with just two relatively short seasons out there, it’s a pretty easy binge.
