Tulsa King Season 4: Release Date, Cast Shake-Ups & What Sylvester Stallone Just Revealed

Paramount+ quietly started cameras rolling on Tulsa King Season 4 this month, and the mob drama’s next chapter is already making noise. Below is everything fans — and search engines — want to know about the release date, plot, cast shake-ups and how the series links to Taylor Sheridan’s expanding crime universe. Release-date window • Filming began in Tulsa and Oklahoma City the third week of November 2025, positioning Season 4 for a late-2026 premiere on Paramount+ if production stays on its current 10-episode schedule. • An exact date will be confirmed once the new show-runner contract is finalized (see below). Behind-the-scenes drama • Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) has returned as head writer after sitting out Season 3, restoring the darker Sopranos-style tone that launched the series. • 101 Studios dismissed 26 crew members days before shooting, part of a cost-cutting overhaul that also left the production temporarily without an official show-runner, according to Deadline insiders. • Paramount Global is expected to announce a new day-to-day show-runner by January to keep the set eligible for Oklahoma’s tax incentives. New faces, familiar muscle • Gretchen Mol (American Gigolo) boards the cast as Amanda Clark, an ambitious Tulsa city councillor whose clean image masks her own connections to organized crime. • Sylvester Stallone returns as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, still nursing the bullet wounds and betrayals of the Season 3 finale. • Robert Patrick’s Jeremiah Dunmire isn’t finished; his Dixie Mafia will go to war after kidnapping Dwight’s sister Joanne (Annabella Sciorra) in the cliff-hanger ending. • Expect more screen time for Samuel L. Jackson’s contract killer Russell Washington ahead of the confirmed spin-off NOLA King, which begins shooting in early 2026. Storyline preview Season 4 picks up hours after the fiery warehouse showdown. Dwight must rescue Joanne, outsmart Dunmire and persuade Amanda Clark to weaponize City Hall against the Dixie Mafia. Meanwhile, Russell Washington’s arrival triggers an uneasy alliance: help Dwight clean up Tulsa in exchange for Manfredi muscle when Washington moves his empire to New Orleans. The season’s arc tees up a crossover finale designed to funnel viewers straight into NOLA King next year. Why fans should stay tuned • Stallone has hinted that “a major character won’t survive the new season,” promising the biggest body count yet. • With Terence Winter scripting and Sheridan overseeing the larger universe, Season 4 aims to restore the brutal wit and fish-out-of-water humor that made Tulsa King a breakout hit. • Paramount+ is bundling Seasons 1–3 into a limited free-streaming window next summer, priming binge viewers for the new episodes.
