Tulsa King season 4 is officially on the way, even though the Paramount+ crime drama only just finished its ten-episode third season with a fiery finale. The episode titled “Jesus Lizard” closed out Season 3 on Sunday, November 23, 2025, but Dwight “The General” Manfredi’s story is far from over as the Taylor Sheridan-verse continues to expand with new corners of his crime world.
The streamer has renewed Tulsa King for a fourth season, greenlit companion series NOLA King, and already has production underway on the new run as of late November 2025. A first-look image of Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi and Jay Will’s Tyson Mitchell, shot by photographer Brian Douglas for Paramount+, underlines how the series has grown into a 2022–present TVMA crime drama that keeps company with other Sheridan projects like Mayor of Kingstown and Landman while giving Stallone a rare ongoing television vehicle.
Season 4 details began firming up quickly. By December 8, 2025, entertainment journalist Amanda Bell had already assembled a clear snapshot of the state of the show. Together with ongoing trade chatter around the series, those early updates sketch out where Tulsa King season 4 is headed on screen and behind the scenes. That trade chatter has included outlets such as Decider, TV Insider, Deadline, Variety, and Forbes, underscoring just how closely the industry is watching the show.
Tulsa King season 4 release window and where to watch
A premiere date has not yet been announced for Tulsa King season 4. The series has settled into an autumn rhythm so far, with Season 1 premiering in November 2022, Season 2 following in September 2024, and Season 3 arriving on September 21 with another fall roll-out.
Production on Tulsa King season 4 was underway by mid-to-late November 2025 in Atlanta, even amid behind-the-scenes turbulence and changes in leadership. With cameras rolling and the show’s ten-episode third season now complete, a late-summer or early-fall 2026 launch on Paramount+ is a reasonable expectation, but the streamer has not yet made that timing official.
For now, viewers can revisit Tulsa King’s first three seasons on Paramount+. The show is currently listed as a crime drama series that began in 2022, carries a TVMA rating, and airs under the Paramount+ and CBS banner, making it one of the platform’s signature originals.
Tulsa King season 4 cast and new characters
Season 4 will once again be anchored by Sylvester Stallone, who returns as New York mobster turned Tulsa kingpin Dwight “The General” Manfredi. After the tumultuous events of Season 3, Stallone has promised that the next chapter will not simply repeat the same faces, teasing, “Do we have new characters in [Season] 4? Oh, yes. You bet.”
One of the biggest additions is Gretchen Mol, who joins the series as a new regular. She will play Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician whose presence pulls the story deeper into the city’s power structure. As casting details put it, Mol steps in as “Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician, in the series starring Stallone as Dwight ‘The General’ Manfredi.”
Alongside Stallone and Mol, Tulsa King’s ensemble remains one of its key strengths. Season 3’s main cast includes Martin Starr as dispensary mastermind Lawrence “Bodhi” Geigerman, Jay Will as driver-turned-partner Tyson Mitchell, Garrett Hedlund as bar owner Mitch Keller, Dana Delaney as wealthy horsewoman Margaret Devereaux, Annabella Sciorra as Dwight’s estranged wife Joanne Manfredi, Neal McDonough as ruthless businessman Cal Thresher, and Frank Grillo as violent adversary Bill Bevilaqua. The crew also relies on Chris Caldovino as loyal lieutenant Dennis “Goodie” Carangi, McKenna Quigley Harrington as Grace, Mike “Ca$h Flo” Walden as Bigfoot, and Scarlet Stallone as Dwight’s granddaughter, Spencer.
Season 3 introduced several other important players whose futures hang in the balance heading into Tulsa King season 4. Robert Patrick’s Jeremiah Dunmire met a sizzling end in the Season 3 finale and will not be back, but Samuel L. Jackson’s Russell Lee Washington Jr. exited town for the bayou and will continue his story in the spinoff NOLA King. Beau Knapp’s Cole Dunmire, who chose to align with Manfredi’s crew and deepened his romantic relationship with Spencer, seems poised to return, as does Bella Heathcote’s Cleo Montague, who is in a relationship with Mitch.
Longtime foes and uneasy allies are also still very much in play. James Russo’s “Quiet” Ray Renzetti remains a simmering enemy for Dwight, and Kevin Pollak’s Special Agent Musso may yet come back to strike another uneasy deal with the crime boss. Beyond the core ensemble, the larger cast also includes Andrea Savage, Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza, A.C. Peterson, Chris Caldovino, Ritchie Coster, Dashiell Connery, and Tatiana Zappardino, keeping the world of Tulsa King densely populated with familiar faces.
Story setup heading into Tulsa King season 4
The basic premise of Tulsa King remains the same as the show heads toward its fourth season. Former mafioso Dwight Manfredi, once a loyal member of a New York crime family, has been exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he builds a new, often ramshackle criminal empire. His expanding crew pulls him into turf wars, legal trouble, and family drama as he adapts East Coast mob tactics to a Midwestern city that never quite knows what to do with him.
Season 3 sharpened that conflict through the Dunmire clan, culminating in a high-stakes raid that left Jeremiah Dunmire dead and set the stage for more fallout. Stallone has suggested that Jeremiah’s presence will still be felt in Tulsa King season 4, explaining that Dwight “has to just eventually, eventually throw down and say, ‘I know you’re going to try to kill me.'” He went on to describe that idea as a theme that plays out through all 10 episodes of Season 3 and “continues into the next season,” hinting that the repercussions of the Dunmire war are not over yet.
Those reverberations also run through the younger characters. Cole Dunmire’s decision to side with Manfredi, his connection to Spencer, and Cleo Montague’s relationship with Mitch all suggest that the fourth season will test loyalties on both sides of the feud. At the same time, Russell Lee Washington Jr.’s shift toward the bayou and the NOLA King spinoff opens space in Tulsa for new threats and alliances to emerge, especially once Amanda Clark enters the political arena.
Analysis: Taken together, these threads point toward a Tulsa King season 4 that leans even harder into the collision between organized crime, local law enforcement, and municipal politics. With Dwight’s empire under pressure from rival families, federal agents, and now Tulsa power brokers, the show has ample room to explore how far “The General” will go to protect his adopted city and his found family there.
Behind-the-scenes changes on Tulsa King season 4
While the story pushes forward, Tulsa King season 4 is also navigating significant behind-the-scenes change. As production moved into Atlanta in mid-November 2025, more than two dozen crew members were let go, and for a brief period, there was no single showrunner officially in place to guide the new episodes.
101 Studios executive Scott Stone stepped in to fill that gap in the short term, taking on showrunner duties during the early stretch of production. The fourth season’s leadership ultimately circles back to the show’s origins, with Terence Winter returning to serve as showrunner and head writer after originally running Season 1 and then stepping away. In the interim, Season 2 moved forward without a formal showrunner, and Dave Erickson took over for Season 3 while Winter stayed involved in a consulting role, before Erickson shifted his focus to Mayor of Kingstown for that show’s fourth season.
Winter’s new stint at the top comes with a deep bench of executive producers. Tulsa King season 4 lists Taylor Sheridan, Sylvester Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Thomas Kelly, Bob Yari, and Keith Cox alongside Winter, illustrating just how many creative and corporate stakeholders now have a hand in the series’ direction.
There is also a broader plan in play for Stallone and his character. Talks have been underway about a new two-year deal for the star, a move that would keep Dwight Manfredi in action long enough to support the idea of extending Tulsa King to as many as six seasons if viewership stays strong. That kind of horizon would put the show in line with the long-running ambitions Taylor Sheridan has for his interconnected dramas, from Mayor of Kingstown to upcoming projects like Landman.
With all of these elements in motion, Tulsa King season 4 is less a simple renewal and more a pivotal chapter in a growing Taylor Sheridan ecosystem. Production may have hit some bumps on the way out of Season 3, but the return of Terence Winter, the arrival of Gretchen Mol as Amanda Clark, and the unresolved tensions between Dwight Manfredi and the Dunmire world suggest that the next set of episodes will raise the stakes on both sides of the camera.
No matter when the new season ultimately lands on Paramount+, Tulsa King season 4 already looks like a crucial test for Dwight “The General” Manfredi and for the series itself. With three seasons of crime, comedy, and family drama behind it and a fresh mix of political intrigue and underworld score-settling ahead, the show is poised to push deeper into what makes the Sheridan-verse tick — and to find out just how long Tulsa’s unlikely king can hold onto his throne.
