The hit crime drama starring Sylvester Stallone continues its successful run as Paramount+ confirms a fourth season.
Paramount+ has officially renewed Tulsa King for Season 4, reaffirming the series’ status as one of the platform’s most successful original dramas. The announcement was made in September 2025, even before Season 3 premiered, highlighting the network’s long-term confidence in the franchise and its growing audience.
A Story of Power, Exile, and Reinvention
Created by Taylor Sheridan, Tulsa King follows Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a New York Mafia capo who is released from prison after a 25-year sentence—only to be unceremoniously exiled by his former crime family and sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. What begins as punishment quickly turns into opportunity, as Dwight builds a new criminal empire from the ground up in unfamiliar territory.
The series blends classic mob storytelling with modern themes of loyalty, aging power, cultural displacement, and reinvention. Across its seasons, Dwight’s rise in Tulsa has drawn him into conflicts with local gangs, political figures, law enforcement, and rival organizations—while his past life continues to cast a long shadow.
Season 4 is expected to continue expanding Dwight’s criminal influence while introducing new political and personal threats, further blurring the lines between power, legitimacy, and survival in the American heartland.
Production Status and Creative Team
According to Paramount+, Season 4 entered production in late 2025, with filming taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. While no official premiere date has been announced, industry projections suggest a likely release window in fall 2026, consistent with the show’s previous seasons.
Notably, Terence Winter—known for The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire—returns as Executive Producer and Head Writer for Season 4. His involvement marks a creative shift following Season 3 and signals a renewed focus on character-driven crime storytelling.
