‘Tulsa King’ could be greenlit for two more seasons following landmark Sylvester Stallone deal

The second season of Tulsa King has wrapped up, and once again, the show leaves fans on the edge of their seats with a cliffhanger that has them eager for more. While there’s no official confirmation yet for a third season, things are looking promising for the future of the series.

Starring Sylvester Stallone, Tulsa King is the brainchild of Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. The show follows “The General,” Dwight Manfredi, a Mafia capo who’s exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he sets out to build a new criminal empire. The first season debuted in 2022, and it didn’t take long for a second season to be greenlit. Now, that second season has just concluded, and fans are already anticipating what comes next.

According to reports from Deadline, Stallone is close to finalizing a new deal that would see him return not only for a third season but also for a fourth. This means fans could get new episodes for the next four years if the show sticks to its current release schedule.

In addition to the good news for Tulsa King fans, it seems Stallone’s paycheck is also getting a significant bump. After earning $750,000 per episode for the first season, the veteran actor made an impressive $1.5 million per episode for season two. And if rumors are true, Stallone’s salary could rise even higher for season three, making his already huge paycheck even more eye-popping.

Given the show’s massive success, it’s no surprise that Tulsa King is likely to keep going. It’s become one of the most-watched series on Paramount, with 2 million viewers tuning in for the season two finale and more than 5 million watching in the week after. These numbers are an improvement over the first season, fueling optimism that the show’s popularity will continue to grow with more episodes.

If Stallone’s new deal goes through, fans can expect not just one, but two more seasons of Tulsa King to look forward to. But that’s not all—Deadline sources are also hinting that the show might get spin-offs, similar to how Yellowstone expanded with 1883 and 1923. Given Sheridan’s proven track record with these spin-offs, there’s plenty of hope that Tulsa King will continue to expand its universe in exciting new ways.

Alongside Stallone, the show features a talented cast, including Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Jay Will, Max Casella, and Vincent Piazza. With Sheridan at the helm and The Sopranos‘ Terence Winter writing, Tulsa King has some of the best minds in the business behind it, ensuring the series stays top-notch in terms of storytelling.

If you haven’t watched Tulsa King yet, both seasons are available for streaming on Paramount Plus. Once the deal for the next seasons is finalized, expect an official announcement for season three soon—so stay tuned for more updates!
