Tulsa King will return in 2026, but it’s who’s returning to the show that should excite fans.

Will Tulsa King Return for Season 4?

Yes. Paramount made the announcement on Wednesday (Sept. 17), four days before the premiere of Season 3 of Tulsa King.

• On Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone stars as Dwight Manfredi, a former mobster who sets up operations in Oklahoma.
• Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Patrick and Kevin Pollack will all join Season 3.
• A New Orleans-based spin-off starring Jackson is set for next year.

I thought Season 1 of Tulsa King was terrific. It was grisly, but Stallone’s ambitions and jovial attitude toward the people he cared for were fun television. Caolan Waltrip (Ritchie Coster, now on CBS’ Watson) was a terrific villain, and Stacy Beale (Andrea Savage) was an enticing love interest.

There were twists and turns with every episode and — most importantly — the cast had chemistry.

Then came Season 2. The writing was — to use an adjective from another Taylor Sheridan show — clumsy. Neal McDonough’s Cal Thresher was particularly stiff and Dwight’s relationship with Margaret Devlin was rushed.

Chickie’s death was anti-climactic (and honestly, disappointing) and Bill Bevilaqua’s partnership with Manfredi was a stretch.

At times it seemed like everyone was off on personal adventures that supported the team, but the series wasn’t about the Oklahoma team. Like a good restaurant, they expanded but lost track of what they do best. Overall, I gave it a “C” grade.
