‘Tulsa King’ Season 3 Trailer Revealed

Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi and Jay Will as Tyson in the Paramount+ original series Tulsa King

Tulsa King is coming back for a third season at Paramount+, and details about what’s next for the Taylor Sheridan drama are starting to emerge.

The Sylvester Stallone starrer will not only return to resolve that major cliffhanger left by the Season 2 finale, but it’ll also introduce a new character that expands the world well beyond the realms of Oklahoma.

The first trailer for the new season, embedded above, gives us a taste of the drama ahead when the show returns on streaming.

So what else do we know about Tulsa King Season 3 so far? Here’s a look.

When will Tulsa King Season 3 premiere?

Paramount+ revealed that Tulsa King will return for Season 3 on Sunday, September 21.

What is Tulsa King Season 3 about?

The logline for Season 3 tells us, “As Dwight’s empire expands, so do his enemies – and the risks to his crew. Now, he faces his most dangerous adversaries in Tulsa yet: the Dunmires, a powerful old-money family that doesn’t play by old-world rules, forcing Dwight to fight for everything he’s built and protect his family.”

Who will star in Tulsa King Season 3?

Sylvester Stallone will return to his role as Dwight Manfredi, the eponymous king of the Tulsa underground.

Dwight will face a new nemesis this season in Samuel L. Jackson’s Russell Lee Washington Jr., who is sent by the bosses in New York to take him out but becomes inspired by his entrepreneurial spirit. This character introduction will then lead into the first spinoff, NOLA King, which follows the character as he heads to New Orleans to forge a similar path.

The series has also added several new series regulars. As detailed by Deadline, Robert Patrick and Beau Knapp will play a father and son, Jeremiah and Cole Dunmire, who are wealthy in the liquor business. Variety also revealed Kevin Pollak joined the cast as Special Agent Musso, an FBI agent with “an axe to grind.” Plus, Variety previously reported that Bella Heathcote joined the show as Cleo Montague, the daughter of a distillery owner, and James Russo has a new recurring role as “Quiet” Ray Renzetti, a New York mob boss who is “calm and measured.” Paramount+ has subsequently confirmed those castings.

Also returning to their roles are Jay Will as Tyson, Garrett Hedlund as Mitch, Martin Starr as Bodhi, Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher, Annabella Sciorra as Joanne, Dana Delany as Dwight’s girlfriend Margaret, Chris Caldovino as Goodie, McKenna Quigley Harrington as Grace, Mike “Ca$h Flo” Walden as Bigfoot, Vincent Piazza as capo Vince Antonacci, Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua, and Michael Beach as Mark Mitchell. It is unknown if we’ll see more of Tatiana Zappardino as Tina or Max Casella as Armand.

According to a slate photo shared on social media, the premiere is directed by Jim McKay. And per The Hollywood Reporter, Dave Erickson will become the sole showrunner in Season 3 after serving on Mayor of Kingstown.

Where did Tulsa King Season 2 leave off?

The Season 2 finale saw Mitch opening his newly-bought car lot in his own name, while Higher Plane continues to thrive, with Dwight promising them all a fair share of the earnings for all of their businesses, which are now legitimate. He also made a deal with Bevilaqua to split the top take 50-50 in exchange for peace (and Bill taking out ousted NY boss Chickie), while Cal Thresher agreed to walk away from their former feud, and Dwight declined to cooperate with the new leadership in New York. The finale ended with a major cliffhanger, though, when Dwight and Margaret were awakened in bed by masked gunmen who kidnapped Dwight and told him that he now works for them. Were they part of the Triad that Dwight’s team eliminated? Were they New York mafia enforcers — perhaps Sam Jackson’s new character? Or is there another player in town now? We’ll have to wait and find out in Season 3.

    I think 10 episodes after waiting a year is just not enough. So what now we have to wait another year for season 3?

    The show may loose some of its viewerscto other shows that will end up taking their viewing time because it is ridiculous to wait a year for the next series. Come on Sly give the people what they want.

      Not sly it’s Sheridan. He does this to all his series and talented actors. Next will be Landman. He’ll ruin that one as well.

    How about the feds? That was a small albeit important part of the final episode. I think it was them that kidnapped Dwight

    The end of the season 2 finale was definitely surprising. I'm pretty sure it wasn't "mafia enforcers" or the Triad. The FBI got a call from headquarters in Washington and then a scene or two later, Dwight gets assault rifles pointed at him while he's sleeping in bed. Then he is handcuffed, taken to some "black site" looking building/room and told he now works for them. IMO that definitely has something to do with the CIA or some type of underground government agency that knows he's into illegal activities, including an accessory to 2 new murders. So they will prob black mail him & they will want a % or he goes back to prison.

    Disappointed in Taylor Sheridan as a Writer/Producer. Just doesn’t seem to have the staying power of other programs/series. His work is Great but is consistently ‘short lived’ 🥹🥹🥹

    I also think it was maybe the fbi, I would’ve thought it was Thresher but he stepped aside by then

    Definitely black site CIA. It’s gonna be about the Chinese, they are the newest growing threat in the USA. And they’re going to use Dwight to take the Chinese down or they’re gonna put them back in prison. Remember, they never had anyone comment on the Chinese leader’s death after taking him out. Clearly he worked for a bigger boss as well. Gonna be a great season three, I hope it comes out way sooner than 26. I just binge watched two seasons in one week lol
