Explosive Twists Await: What We Know About ‘Tulsa King’ Season 3”

Sylvester Stallone’s hit series Tulsa King is officially returning for a third season, promising fans more action, drama, and unexpected twists. The Paramount+ crime dramedy, created by Taylor Sheridan, has gained a dedicated following since its 2022 debut. With Season 3 now in production, viewers are eager for details about the next chapter in Dwight “The General” Manfredi’s journey.

A Quick Recap: Seasons 1 and 2
Tulsa King follows Dwight Manfredi, a seasoned New York mafia capo played by Stallone, who is sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after serving 25 years in prison. Tasked with establishing a new criminal operation far from the East Coast, Dwight builds a crew of misfits and navigates a maze of rival gangs, law enforcement, and personal challenges.

The series premiered to critical acclaim, earning high marks from both critics and audiences. Seasons 1 and 2 maintained strong viewership and a “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, solidifying the show as one of Paramount+’s standout originals.

Season 3 Production Begins
Paramount+ confirmed on March 18, 2025, that Tulsa King will return for a third season. Production began immediately, with filming taking place in Atlanta and Oklahoma. Dave Erickson, previously showrunner for Taylor Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingstown, has stepped in as the new showrunner for Tulsa King Season 3, replacing Terence Winter. This change reflects Erickson’s expanding role in Sheridan’s universe of hit series.

Sylvester Stallone, who also serves as a producer, will reprise his role as Dwight Manfredi. The core cast—including Jay Will, Garrett Hedlund, Martin Starr, Dana Delany, and Frank Grillo—is expected to return, continuing the storylines that have captivated audiences.

What Happened at the End of Season 2?
Season 2 concluded with a suspenseful cliffhanger. Dwight and Margaret were ambushed in their home by masked gunmen who declared, “You work for us now,” before taking Dwight away. The finale also saw various plot threads intertwine: Mitch opened a new car lot, the Higher Plane dispensary thrived, and Dwight negotiated peace deals while expanding his empire.

This ending raises major questions for Season 3. Who are the new adversaries? Are they remnants of the Triad gang, agents of the New York mafia, or an entirely new threat? Dwight’s efforts to balance family ties, legitimate business, and criminal activities are sure to face greater challenges in the episodes ahead.

When Will Season 3 Premiere?
Although an exact release date has not been announced, production timing suggests that Season 3 could premiere in late 2025 or early 2026. Previous seasons have followed a similar production-to-release timeline, and fans can likely expect the next installment to follow suit.

What’s Next for Tulsa King?
With Taylor Sheridan’s signature storytelling style and Stallone’s undeniable charisma, Tulsa King continues to stand out in an increasingly crowded streaming landscape. As the series dives deeper into Dwight Manfredi’s evolving world, fans can look forward to more gripping drama, unexpected humor, and the kind of high-stakes crime storytelling that made the show a hit. Season 3’s arrival will undoubtedly bring fresh twists and surprises, reaffirming Tulsa King as a staple of the Paramount+ lineup.
