‘Tulsa King’ Season 3 Is Coming – Here’s What We Can Expect from the New Cast and Plot

Fans of Tulsa King, the hit crime dramedy from Taylor Sheridan starring Sylvester Stallone, have been eagerly awaiting news about the show’s return. After captivating audiences with its first two seasons, Paramount+ officially confirmed the renewal of Tulsa King for Season 3 in March 2025, a move that underscores the streamer’s confidence in the series’ future—and Sylvester Stallone’s enduring star power.

Production Updates and Timeline

Production for Season 3 kicked off in mid-March 2025, with filming taking place across Atlanta and Oklahoma, according to Variety. Stallone, who also serves as an executive producer, had teased the continuation as early as September 2024, sharing his excitement—and a significant pay bump—with fans on Instagram, as noted by MovieWeb.

With filming underway, the typical production cycle suggests several months of shooting, followed by post-production and marketing. Considering that Season 2 premiered on September 15, 2024, after a relatively quick turnaround, there’s hope for a similar schedule this time around.

When Could Tulsa King Season 3 Premiere?

As of now, no official release date has been announced. Paramount+ updated the show’s page on April 9, 2025, clarifying that Tulsa King Season 3 does not yet have a confirmed premiere date.

However, looking at previous patterns provides some clues. There was roughly a 20-month gap between the end of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2. Given that filming began in March 2025, speculation from sources like TV Guide and The Pioneer Woman points to a potential late 2025 release—likely in December—or early 2026. Of course, unforeseen production delays or strategic scheduling decisions could shift that timeline.

New Faces and Storyline Developments

Exciting new cast members will join the Tulsa King universe in Season 3. Robert Patrick will play Jeremiah Dunmire, a powerful liquor magnate, and Beau Knapp will portray his son, Cole Dunmire. Bella Heathcote and James Russo are also set to bring fresh intrigue and tension to the series.

Narratively, Season 3 promises high-stakes drama. Season 2 ended with a cliffhanger as Dwight (Stallone) and Margaret were kidnapped by masked gunmen, setting the stage for an even more dangerous power struggle. Expect escalating conflicts with the Kansas City mob, local businessmen, and new players in Tulsa’s criminal underworld.

Behind the Scenes

Season 3 will also see a shift behind the camera, with Dave Erickson—known for his work on Mayor of Kingstown—stepping in as showrunner. This change, coupled with new cast dynamics and expanded storylines, suggests the upcoming season could be the most explosive yet.

Stay Tuned for Updates

Fans are encouraged to keep an eye on Tulsa King’s official X (formerly Twitter) account and Paramount+ social media for release announcements and teasers as production progresses. If all goes smoothly, Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi will be back to reclaim his empire sooner rather than later.

One thing’s for sure: Tulsa King isn’t done shaking up Tulsa—and neither is Sylvester Stallone.
