NEED TO KNOW
Tulsa King is staying on its throne.
On Nov. 23, the Paramount+ original series starring Sylvester Stallone concluded its third season, continuing its mix of dark comedy and brutal violence.
Stallone leads Tulsa King as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, but the third season saw the addition of some new cast members, including Samuel L. Jackson, marking the first time the actors shared the screen together.
“When I heard that was gonna happen, I went, ‘Oh, this is gonna be a fist fight. This is gonna be a battle,'” Stallone told PEOPLE after learning that Jackson would be joining the cast. “Like two boxers in a ring, and who is gonna throw the first punch? So you’re getting nervous because you’re dealing with serious competition.”
Following his Tulsa King debut, Jackson is set to star in a spinoff, NOLA King, as Paramount confirmed in July 2025.
With season 3 coming to an end, and a spinoff on the horizon, here’s everything to know about Tulsa King season 4, including what Stallone has teased about his character’s future.

Plot details for Tulsa King season 4 have not been revealed, but expect to see Stallone’s character, Dwight, fight to keep his crown.
“The fate of my character? Well, he’s not going to be shot. He’s not going to be run over. He’s not going to find a lump in his neck and that’s the end,” the actor told AARP in September 2025, per TV Line.
“Every gangster goes out on a stretcher. I want this guy, because he already suffered for 25 years keeping his mouth shut, to actually revel in the fact that he went out as a success and didn’t face any kind of death threat or demise,” he continued, adding, “None of my characters have ever died. None.”
While speaking to TV Insider, Stallone teased some upcoming additions to the cast, saying: “Do we have new characters in [season] 4? Oh, yes. You bet.”
