Get ready—”Tulsa King” is back. Season 3 of the hit Paramount+ crime drama premieres September 21, and Sylvester Stallone returns as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, bringing more grit, heart, and chaos than ever before. If the new teaser is any indication, this season is going to be a rollercoaster.
“Tulsa King”: A New Business and New Enemies
The first glimpse of Season 3 teases a major shift for Dwight. He’s now looking into the distillery business, specifically the Montague Distillery, possibly trying to go more legit. But in Dwight’s world, nothing comes without complications. And this move may put him on a collision course with some dangerous new players.
The biggest threat this season? The Dunmires—a powerful, old-money family that doesn’t play by any familiar rules. Leading the charge is Jeremiah Dunmire, played by Robert Patrick, who’s poised to be a serious rival for Dwight’s operation. Expect a battle of old-school muscle versus new-world ruthlessness.
Dwight isn’t just protecting his business—he’s protecting the people he loves. The stakes are higher than ever as his enemies start targeting those closest to him. We’ll see a more emotional side of Dwight as he balances ambition with loyalty, and family with survival.
Welcome, Samuel L. Jackson
One of the most exciting additions to the cast is Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a man from Dwight’s prison past who’s now been sent to Tulsa—possibly to kill him. But their relationship is layered, and as the season unfolds, so do Washington’s motives. His character is expected to lead into a spin-off, NOLA King, already in early development.
“Tulsa King” comes from Taylor Sheridan, the mind behind “Yellowstone”, with Stallone also on board as a producer. With their names attached, fans can expect the same high production value, gripping storylines, and larger-than-life characters that made the show a hit from the start.
Season 3 kicks off September 21, with new episodes every week. That slow burn release means plenty of time for fan theories, character deep dives, and plot twist predictions. At its core, “Tulsa King” explores what it means to build—and keep—power. Loyalty is tested, alliances are questioned, and every move Dwight makes could be his last. As he tries to balance criminal dealings with personal values, the tension between doing what’s right and doing what’s necessary takes center stage.
“Tulsa King” Season 3 is shaping up to be the show’s most explosive season yet. With a powerful new villain, a legendary new cast member, and the emotional stakes turned way up, fans are in for a ride full of action, heart, and surprises. Don’t miss it—September 21.
