Crime drama Tulsa King has been officially renewed for a fifth season on SkyShowtime, with lead actor Sylvester Stallone set to move the story back to New York as production gets underway.
The fifth installment will see mob boss Dwight Manfredi return to his original home city, departing the Oklahoma backdrop that defined the first four seasons of the hit television series.
SkyShowtime confirmed that cameras are already rolling in New York for season five, which brings Manfredi back to the environment where he originally rose through the ranks of organized crime.
The return to the East Coast marks a dramatic shift in narrative direction for the character, whose attempt to build an independent criminal empire in Tulsa formed the core foundation of the show.
Cast Changes and New Series Regulars
The upcoming fifth season will introduce several new faces to the principal cast, expanding the ensemble as Manfredi re-enters the New York underworld.
Actors Erik Palladino, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Skordi, and Nickola Shreli have all been cast as series regulars for season five, though SkyShowtime has not yet revealed details regarding their specific roles.
Cast member Scarlet Rose Stallone has also been promoted to a regular role for the fifth season. The real-life daughter of Sylvester Stallone previously appeared in a recurring capacity as Spencer, a former barista hired by Manfredi.
While production on season five is actively progressing in New York, SkyShowtime has not yet set a formal premiere date for the new episodes.
Season Four Premiere and Plot Details
Before Manfredi makes his return to New York, viewers will follow the events of season four, which is scheduled to premiere on SkyShowtime on October 16.
The fourth season presents Manfredi with intense new challenges in Oklahoma, including opposition from rival criminal factions, corrupt local politicians, and a tragic personal loss.
As Manfredi works to secure his business empire and keep his family safe, the city of Tulsa rapidly transforms into an active battlefield between competing interests.

Background on the Series and Creative Team

Sheridan developed the series alongside writer and executive producer Terence Winter, an Emmy Award winner widely known for his writing and production work on classic crime sagas including The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire.
The series stars Hollywood veteran Sylvester Stallone, best known for his iconic portrayals of Rocky Balboa and John Rambo, in his first major scripted television leading role as Dwight "The General" Manfredi.
