Paramount+ has released a teaser for the fourth season of its crime drama Tulsa King, confirming that Sylvester Stallone will reprise his lead role when the show returns on 16 October 2026.
The new season will run for ten episodes, released weekly rather than all at once.
What the new season covers
The series follows Dwight "The General" Manfredi, a New York mafia capo who served a 25-year prison sentence rather than betray his boss and the boss's son. On his release, instead of the reward he expected, Manfredi was banished to the sleepy city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Rather than give up, he began building his own criminal empire from scratch.
In the fourth season, Manfredi will try to protect his crew and legitimise his empire. He faces new threats from corrupt politicians, dangerous rivals and a devastating personal loss, and will have to fall back on his old New York street instincts as Tulsa becomes the main battleground.
Stallone, known for the Rocky, Creed, Rambo, The Expendables and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises, returns to the role that anchors the series.
Supporting cast
Also returning in significant roles are Garrett Hedlund (Troy, Tron: Legacy, Triple Frontier), Martin Starr (the Spider-Man franchise, Freaks and Geeks, Silicon Valley), Dana Delany (Desperate Housewives, Body of Proof), Frank Grillo (the Captain America franchise, Peacemaker) and Jay Will (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), among others.
