Tulsa King Season 3: Everything You Need to Know

by

Despite not receiving an official confirmation from Paramount+ regarding renewal or air date, Sylvester Stallone hinted on Instagram in September 2024 that Season 3 of Tulsa King is being planned. Since then, further information about the Taylor Sheridan-led mob series has been gradually revealed, such as potential return dates, casting updates, possible plotlines, and other details.

Last check, Dwight Manfredi (Stallone) strengthened his criminal organization by confronting the Triad members headed by Jackie Ming (Rich Ting). With one adversarial group out of the picture, another is bound to emerge and contest Manfredi’s gang as he accrues more influence and authority over the Midwest. However, considering the ominous twist at the end of Season 2, Tulsa King has numerous possibilities for its plot when Season 3 eventually resumes.

‘Tulsa King’s Gangster Premise

Taylor Sheridan developed a TV series titled “Tulsa King” for Paramount+, which debuted in November 2022. This is a darkly comedic mob drama. Sylvester Stallone portrays Dwight Manfredi, an Italian-American mafia boss from New York who has served a 25-year prison sentence and is now relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma to establish operations. As Manfredi adapts to his new surroundings, from urban living to the stark contrast of Midwestern customs, the storyline presents a unique blend of dark humor due to the fish-out-water predicament.

Manfredi finds himself tasked with assembling a fresh criminal network among the residents of Oklahoma. He needs to identify who he can rely on to join his underworld family, maintaining their illicit operations for his out-of-town bosses. Constantly keeping a watchful eye behind him, Manfredi selectively builds this crew, choosing individuals such as Tyson Mitchell (Jay Will), drug dealer Bodhi Geigerman (Martin Starr), bookmaker Manny Truisi (Max Casella), bar-running lieutenant Mitch Keller (Garrett Hedlund), and others.

In the process of establishing my Midwestern crime empire, I encounter fierce opposition from the formidable Invernizzi family, headed by Don Chickie (Domenick Lombardozzi) and his trusted right-hand man, Vince Antonacci (Vincent Piazza). My complicated relationship with ATF agent Stacy Beale (Andrea Savage) adds a legal labyrinth to my journey, requiring me to tread carefully to avoid getting ensnared.

Who Will Star in Tulsa King Season 3?

Even though Paramount+ hasn’t officially confirmed a third season for the show “Tulsa King,” Sylvester Stallone has reassured fans that additional episodes are in store, as he shared this news on his Instagram in September 2024.

I’m thrilled beyond words and incredibly proud of our exceptional cast. Our series has experienced an astounding 75% increase compared to last year, a feat almost unimaginable! Not only that, but Season 2 received a perfect score of 100% on ROTTEN TOMATOES. To add to this, it currently ranks as the second most watched show worldwide across all streaming platforms! A big thank you to everyone involved. Right now, we’re hard at work on Season 3!

Besides working on Season 3, Deadline stated in November 2024 that Stallone is in negotiations for a role in two additional seasons of “Tulsa King.” This implies that fans can anticipate the series to progress to at least Season 4. However, Paramount has not yet verified these details, but given Stallone’s enthusiasm, it seems likely that the show will be renewed.

If the show’s usual release pattern continues, we can expect a new season of Tulsa King in the fall of 2026.

In addition to Sylvester Stallone, it’s confirmed that Hedlund, Casella, Starr, and Will will reappear in Season 3 of the show. Moreover, when Tulsa King resumes for its third season, viewers can anticipate seeing more of Dwight’s new love interest Margaret (played by Dana Delany), his sister Joanne (Annabella Sciorra), and his estranged daughter Tina (Tatiana Zapardino). However, Stacy Beale, who failed to convict Dwight in Season 2, is expected to have left for Alaska and her return in Season 3 seems improbable.

Concerning Manfredi’s adversaries, the Invernizzi gang – specifically excluding the deceased Chickie – will reappear, accompanied by Bill Bevilaqua, the mob boss from Kansas (portrayed by Frank Grillo), Goodie Carangi, a turncoat (played by Chris Caldovino), and Cal Thresher, a business partner of Jackie Ming (performed by Neal McDonough).

Where Tulsa King Season 2 Left Off

In the final moments of Tulsa King Season 2, a suspenseful turn occurred as Dwight and Margaret were suddenly confronted at gunpoint in their bed, leading to their abduction by unknown masked individuals. These mysterious captors made it clear that Dwight now owed allegiance to them, sparking curiosity among viewers about the identities and intentions of these new adversaries.

It remains unclear whether Jackie Ming is seeking retribution for the Manfredi Triad’s actions or if Dwight’s superiors in New York are behind the masked men. Since Dwight has refused to collaborate with the new bosses in New York, there’s a possibility that these unknown individuals could be connected to Bevilaqua’s Kansas City gang, aiming to suppress all Midwestern competition. Additionally, Cal Thresher, who previously agreed to a truce with the Manfredis, may have ulterior motives when the popular gangster series resumes.

In the final episode of Tulsa King’s second season, Don Chickie was killed by Bevilaqua, which set the stage for an equal partnership between his family and the Manfredis moving forward. Meanwhile, Keller is venturing into legitimate business by opening a used car lot in his own name, with financing from the Manfredi crime organization. The unfinished plots will likely be at the heart of Season 3, as new criminal activities, killings, rivals, disputes, and personal-professional quandaries emerge for the Manfredi crime syndicate.
