Sylvester Stallone is coming to CBS, as the Hollywood icon’s TV series Tulsa King is set to make its broadcast debut on the network on Sunday, July 14, at 8 pm ET/PT. This isn’t just a one-off either, as all episodes of Tulsa King season 1 are going to air on CBS as part of the network’s summer TV lineup.
Created by Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan, Tulsa King stars Stallone as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a lifelong member of the mob who receives an unwelcome gift after being released from prison for protecting the family — a ticket to Tulsa, Okla., to set up operations there. However, Dwight soon realizes he has an opportunity in Tulsa to create something of his own. In addition to Stallone, the series features Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza, Jay Will and A.C. Peterson, with Garrett Hedlund and Dana Delany.
Tulsa King is a Paramount Plus original series, first released on the streamer back in 2022. While the first two episodes were also shown on the cable channel Paramount Network, CBS will make the show available to a wider audience and all nine episodes of the first season are going to be shown on CBS; just ahead of Tulsa King season 2’s premiere in September.
According to Paramount, Tulsa King is the second-most watched original series from Paramount Plus, only behind another Taylor Sheridan production, the Yellowstone prequel 1923. FYI, though Sheridan created Tulsa King, there is no connection to Yellowstone.
In order to watch Tulsa King on CBS, you need to be signed up with either a traditional pay-TV provider or a live TV streaming service that carries CBS like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV. If you catch the show on CBS, like it and don’t want to wait until Sunday each week to watch the next episode, then sign up for Paramount Plus to stream all of Tulsa King season 1 at your convenience; you’ll also need Paramount Plus if you want to watch Tulsa King season 2 when it premieres.
