Paramount+ has officially set the stage for Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi to face his biggest fight in Tulsa King Season 3, dropping the first trailer and announcing a Sunday, September 21 premiere date.

The new footage teases a bloody collision course between Dwight’s growing empire and the Dunmires, an entrenched Tulsa dynasty whose wealth and influence run deeper than anything the New York mobster has encountered. “They don’t play by old-world rules,” the synopsis warns — and the trailer makes it clear that these new adversaries have no intention of letting Dwight settle in comfortably.

The release caps off a dominant year for Tulsa King, which became the #1 global Paramount+ Original Series of 2024 and broke into the top ten across all streaming platforms in Q4. Season 2’s premiere drew 21.1 million global viewers, setting a platform record and marking an 894% increase over the Season 1 debut.

Alongside Stallone, the ensemble cast returning for Season 3 includes Martin Starr, Jay Will, Annabella Sciorra, Neal McDonough, Robert Patrick, Beau Knapp, Bella Heathcote, Chris Caldovino, McKenna Quigley Harrington, Mike “Cash Flo” Walden, Kevin Pollak, Vincent Piazza, Frank Grillo, Michael Beach, and James Russo. Garrett Hedlund and Dana Delany also return, while Samuel L. Jackson joins as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a role that will spin off into the newly greenlit series NOLA King.

What Can We Expect from ‘Tulsa King’ Season 3?

Patrick’s Jeremiah Dunmire brings “a command and authority that hasn’t been seen in a Tulsa King nemesis,” a bold statement in a series that already boasts Neal McDonough and Frank Grillo among its rogues’ gallery. Dunmire’s son, Cole (Knapp), is less measured and more explosive, and the brewing battle over a Tulsa distillery promises to get messy fast. Meanwhile, Grillo’s volatile Kansas City boss Bill Bevilaqua resurfaces — seemingly as Dwight’s ally. But this is Tulsa King, where alliances are thin and betrayal is always just a handshake away.

Created by Taylor Sheridan and produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, Tulsa King continues Sheridan’s streak of hard-hitting American crime dramas driven by antiheroes, power struggles, and turf wars. Dave Erickson returns as showrunner, with Sheridan, Stallone, and Erickson among the executive producers.

Season 3 will premiere September 21 on Paramount+, with new episodes expected weekly.
