Sylvester Stallone Finalizes New Deal for ‘Tulsa King,’ Securing Two More Seasons

In exciting news for fans of Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone is set to return as the star of the hit Paramount+ series for two more seasons. The actor, who plays mafia boss Dwight “The General” Manfredi, is finalizing a new deal that will ensure Tulsa King continues for Seasons 3 and 4. This marks a major development for the show, following the strong performance of its second season.

Tulsa King’s Growing Popularity and Success

Season 2 of Tulsa King has proven to be a massive success. Its premiere episode broke series records, with 2 million global views on the first day alone. Over the following week, the show garnered 5.4 million views, and through 35 days, it averaged over 10 million global households, outperforming its first season by 8%. With these impressive numbers, a two-season renewal was not unexpected. Fans can now look forward to even more twists and turns in the world of Dwight Manfredi’s Oklahoma-based criminal empire.

Stallone’s Growing Role and Pay Raise

Sources reveal that Stallone will be receiving a pay increase for his involvement in the upcoming seasons. After earning $1.5 million per episode in Season 2, up from $750,000 per episode in Season 1, it is expected that Stallone’s pay will rise once again. This increase underscores the success of Tulsa King and Stallone’s key role in its continuing success.

Could Tulsa King Go Beyond Four Seasons?

With Season 3 and 4 locked in, Tulsa King could very well continue beyond the four-season mark. There are even talks of potential spin-offs, much like Taylor Sheridan’s other successful projects within the Yellowstone universe. The Tulsa King universe has proven to have depth, and there’s plenty of room to explore the criminal underworld and characters in future installments.

What’s Next for the Series?

In Tulsa King, Stallone stars as Dwight Manfredi, a mafia caporegime who is released from prison and sets up a new criminal empire in Oklahoma. The show has received praise for Stallone’s performance, blending tough guy charisma with the complexities of a man starting over in unfamiliar territory. The series is executive produced by Stallone himself, alongside creator Taylor Sheridan, writer Terence Winter, and director Craig Zisk.

Producers and Executive Producers: Along with Stallone and Sheridan, the series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios for Paramount+. David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Braden Aftergood, and Keith Cox are also credited as executive producers, adding weight to the production’s top-tier talent behind the scenes.

The Future of Tulsa King and Taylor Sheridan’s Expanding Universe

As Taylor Sheridan’s universe continues to grow, Tulsa King stands as a key part of his impressive TV empire. With the success of Yellowstone and its spin-offs, Tulsa King has proven to be another hit in his rapidly expanding world of interconnected stories. Could there be more mafia-based drama or spinoffs set in the same universe? Only time will tell, but the path forward looks bright for Tulsa King and its star-studded cast.
