“Power built in exile now faces its reckoning.”
The wait is nearly over—Tulsa King returns with its third and most explosive season yet, premiering September 21, 2025 exclusively on Paramount+. After the stunning cliffhanger in Season 2, mob boss Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) finds himself abducted by a mysterious group of mercenaries. Season 3 picks up in the aftermath, diving deeper into the ruthless world of organized crime where trust is a luxury and survival is a calculated game.
The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever
Dwight is no longer just fighting rival gangs—he’s battling time, shifting loyalties, and the ghosts of his past. With brute force no longer enough, he must navigate a city evolving faster than his old-school rules. As power players circle and betrayal lurks at every turn, Dwight is forced to question who he can rely on—and whether the man he’s becoming is worth the empire he’s building.
In this season, the line between friend and foe grows dangerously thin. Tulsa King evolves into a sharper, darker, more psychologically intense series as it explores identity, legacy, and the cost of loyalty.
New Vision, New Intensity
Behind the scenes, Dave Erickson (Fear the Walking Dead) steps in as the new showrunner, bringing a grittier tone, smarter pacing, and deeper emotional layers to the series. His arrival signals a creative shift that fans will immediately feel—from the writing to the character arcs and moral complexity.
Filming began in March 2025 in Oklahoma and Atlanta, capturing both the raw streets of Tulsa and the shadowy corridors of new criminal networks.

Jackson is set to debut later in the season as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a powerful New Orleans kingpin.
