Tulsa King Season 3: Release Date, Cast Changes, and Plot Spoilers You Need to Know

Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi is back in action as Tulsa King Season 3 lands on Paramount+ this Sunday, 21 September 2025—nearly a year after Season 2 left fans on that federal-agent cliff-hanger. Paramount+ confirms the premiere will drop at 3 a.m. ET, followed by new episodes every Sunday through 23 November, giving viewers a ten-week run of fresh mob drama. For cord-cutters, Paramount+ is still offering a seven-day free trial, so newcomers can stream the opener without paying a dime. What’s new in Season 3? • A darker tone: Cast members tease “grittier” storytelling and higher stakes as Dwight expands his Midwestern empire while dodging both the ATF and rival crews. • Fresh villains: Italian actor Luca Marinelli joins as Sal “Il Lupo” Ricci, an enforcer sent from New York to keep Dwight in line, while Janet McTeer portrays ruthless oil magnate Eleanor Pierce. • Strained alliances: The uneasy partnership between Dwight and local informant Tyson Musso is said to fracture early in the season, forcing the capo to recruit new muscle from unexpected places. Returning favorites Stallone leads a familiar ensemble that includes Andrea Savage (Stacey Beale), Martin Starr (Bodhi), Jay Will (Tyson), Garrett Hedlund (Mitch), and Dana Delany (Margaret). Creator Taylor Sheridan remains executive producer, while veteran show-runner Terence Winter scripts the premiere and finale.

Sheridan reportedly wrote additional scenes for Stallone after the actor performed his own stunt in Episode 4—a rooftop leap between grain silos. Early renewal Paramount+ has already green-lit Season 4, citing “record preview-day streams” for the Season 3 trailer. The fast-track order ensures cameras will roll again in spring 2026, keeping momentum high and assuring fans that Dwight’s reign is far from over. How to watch • Stream: Paramount+ (Essentials or Showtime tier) • Free options: Seven-day trial; Paramount+ channels on Amazon Prime Video and Roku offer the same deal. • International: Season 3 episodes drop day-and-date in Canada, Australia, and the U.K.; European SkyShowtime territories receive episodes 24 hours later. Why it matters With Yellowstone heading into its final stretch and 1923 on hiatus, Tulsa King has become Paramount+’s must-watch crime saga. Season 3 promises bigger brawls, higher emotional stakes, and the Stallone swagger that turned the series into a sleeper hit. Clear your Sunday nights—The General wants your full attention.
