Tulsa King Season 2 looks set to bring more gripping action to the small screen thanks to its leading man. Sylvester Stallone teases what’s to come in the upcoming season of the Paramount+ crime drama.
Via his Instagram page, “Sly” Stallone puffs a cigar and plugs some Carbonari vodka in a shared image from the set of Tulsa King Season 2. He also hints at a “gang war” taking place during the upcoming season, ramping up the anticipation.

Paramount+ also released a new trailer for Tulsa King Season 2, showing Stallone’s main character, Dwight “The General” Manfredi, in court answering to an allegation of attempted bribery of a federal agent. After Dwight gets bailed out, the Invernizzi family capo and his team explore various business opportunities in Tulsa, but face opposition from Kansas-based mobster Bill Bevilaqua (Frank Grillo), who also has interests in taking over the titular Oklahoman city. The trailer teases some bloody battles and a showdown between Dwight and Bill for ultimate supremacy. Stallone recently teased some of Season 2’s plot points on Instagram, saying, “I’m not supposed to be doing this, but I didn’t get here by following the rules. I’m in court. It’s going to be an interesting scene in Tulsa King. I’m enjoying the process. It’s different. We have to travel about an hour and a half to an old courthouse where I have to appeal my case. I’m my own lawyer, so that could turn out good or bad.”

Created by Yellowstone brainchild Taylor Sheridan, Tulsa King chronicles Manfredi, who was sent to the eponymous city after spending 25 years in prison for murder. Tulsa King Season 2 also stars Andrea Savage, Jay Will, Garrett Hedlund, Max Casella, Martin Starr, Dana Delany, and Annabella Sciorra. Stallone confirmed that Season 2 production wrapped earlier this month, though filming reportedly endured its hiccups as the action legend was alleged to have given extras a warm time throughout the process.
