Season 3 of Tulsa King, the drama series starring Sylvester Stallone and created by Taylor Sheridan, welcomes new faces to the Tulsa mafia world.
Created by Taylor Sheridan, the Tulsa King series follows former New York mob boss Dwight Manfredi, aka “The General”, played by Sylvester Stallone. After a 25-year prison sentence, he is exiled to Tulsa,Oklahoma, to rebuild his criminal empire. The success of the first two seasons, supported by an original plot and a strong cast, led to the production of a third season. This new salvo of episodes promises to be more intense, with the introduction of several new characters, played by Robert Patrick, Beau Knapp, Bella Heathcote and James Russo.
Synopsis: Freshly released from prison after a 25-year sentence, ex-mafia boss Dwight Manfredi is sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Rejected by his criminal organization, he attempts to rebuild an empire with a team of local misfits. Season 3 continues this adventure in increasingly hostile territory.
Film crew: Director: Various directors. Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Martin Starr, Jay Will, Robert Patrick, Bella Heathcote, Beau Knapp. Screenplay: Taylor Sheridan, Dave Erickson.
Season 3 introduces several prominent figures to the Tulsa King landscape. Robert Patrick plays Jeremiah Dunmire, an influential businessman in the liquor industry. Beau Knapp plays his son Cole, described as unstable but ambitious. Bella Heathcote plays Cleo Montague, from a local distilling family. James Russo plays Quiet Ray Renzetti, a more sedate New York godfather whose presence could upset the balance of power.
Chris Caldovino (Goodie), McKenna Quigley Harrington (Grace) and Mike “Cash Flo” Walden (Bigfoot) become recurring characters in this season, further deepening the universe around Dwight Manfredi.
With over 21 million viewers for the launch of season 2, Tulsa King has established itself as one of Paramount+’s biggest successes. The series will appeal to fans of crime stories centered on charismatic anti-heroes , in the tradition of Sons of Anarchy, Boardwalk Empire or Peaky Blinders. Its half-dramatic, half-humorous tone sets it apart from the current crop of Mafia series.
Production of season 3 began in March 2025, between Atlanta andOklahoma. Still co-produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, it is helmed by Taylor Sheridan with Dave Erickson as showrunner. Sylvester Stallone, also executive producer, returns to the lead role, surrounded by a cast reinforced for the occasion.
With this third season, Tulsa King continues to explore the journey of Dwight Manfredi in an atypical setting. The arrival of new characters promises to enrich the narrative dynamics and expand the series’ universe. This new chapter could confirm the enduring public appeal of tales of mafia reinvention in unexpected contexts.
