Plot & Tension: What’s Coming
The season picks up following Dwight’s kidnapping at the close of season 2. He’ll be up against a shadowy organization that wants to exert control over him, while also contending with the Dunmire family—Jeremiah Dunmire in particular, as the new liquor-magnate antagonist.
Meanwhile, returning rivals like Bill Bevilaqua and Cal Thresher are back in the fold, elevating the danger to Dwight’s criminal empire. Add in internal threats, betrayal, and high-stakes confrontation, and Season 3 looks darker than ever.
Behind the Scenes & Production Notes
The show continues to be produced by 101 Studios and Paramount Television Studios. Executive producers include Taylor Sheridan, Sylvester Stallone, and Dave Erickson, among others. Erickson also serves as showrunner.
Critically and commercially, Tulsa King cemented its place in 2024 as Paramount+’s top original. The streaming platform has shown confidence not just in Season 3, but has also renewed the series for a fourth season.
What To Look Forward To
- Dwight’s moral and physical limits will be tested—expect more confrontations where he has to decide just how far he’ll go.
- The dynamic between Dwight and Jeremiah Dunmire looks central—and dangerous.
- The role of Special Agent Musso, played by Kevin Pollak, adds a layer of crooked law enforcement via blackmail, complicating Dwight’s already chaotic world.
- Margaret Devereaux’s relationship with Dwight remains complicated, balancing loyalty, personal motives, and power.
What to Expect
The story picks up after last season’s chaos. Dwight faces a shadowy organization and old‑money rivals, forcing him to balance loyalty against survival. The tone skews darker, with moral lines blurring as he protects his crew.
