Tulsa King Season 2 will see another new face when it premieres. Deadline reports that Warrior alum Rich Ting has joined the cast of the Sylvester Stallone-led drama. Details about the character and how he fits into the narrative have not been revealed yet, but his name is Jackie Ming. The character is described as being quiet but ruthless and has his own ambitions in Tulsa. This is the second addition to the season already in production in Atlanta, Georgia.
Neil McDonough was recently added to the cast and will play Carl Thrasher. Thrasher is a Tulsa businessman who’s quite powerful but territorial. The Taylor Sheridan series is one of the most watched on Paramount+, only coming second to 1923, also by Sheridan. Stallone plays Dwight Manfredi, a mobster who spent 25 years behind bars, and when he’s released, his bosses send him to Tulsa to start a chapter of their criminal enterprise in the city. Manfredi tries to navigate a foreign world while trying to reconnect with his family. He realizes that not everybody has his best interests at heart, particularly his mob family. He begins to chart his own course by assembling a ragtag crew to begin a new empire. Apart from Stallone, Tulsa King stars Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, and Vincent Piazza.
