Get ready, Tulsa King fans: Sylvester Stallone's mob boss is officially back in business. Paramount+ has set October 16, 2026 as the premiere date for the fourth season of Taylor Sheridan's hit crime dramedy, with new episodes expected to roll out through December.
For those who need a refresher, Tulsa King follows Dwight "The General" Manfredi, a New York mafia capo who, after serving 25 years in prison, is exiled to Oklahoma and tasked with establishing a new criminal enterprise. Stallone leads a cast that includes Martin Starr, Garrett Hedlund, Neal McDonough, and Robert Patrick, among others. The show has become one of Paramount+'s most reliable performers, with Rotten Tomatoes scores of 78% for Season 1, a perfect 100% for Season 2, and 83% for Season 3—an overall rating of 87%.
Behind the scenes, Terence Winter is returning as head writer for Season 4 after sitting out the third season. Winter is no stranger to gritty crime storytelling; he previously collaborated with Martin Scorsese on HBO's Boardwalk Empire and the film The Wolf of Wall Street. His return signals a creative reset that fans have been hoping for.
But Tulsa King isn't just coming back—it's expanding. A spin-off titled Frisco King, starring Samuel L. Jackson, is currently in development, marking the franchise's first offshoot. Meanwhile, Sheridan's other Paramount+ series, Mayor of Kingstown, could serve as a lead-in to Tulsa King's fourth season, though that hasn't been confirmed. And if you're wondering about the future beyond Season 4, there's already buzz about Stallone's mob boss heading to New York in a potential fifth season.
Sheridan's empire continues to dominate Paramount's lineup. The Yellowstone spin-off Marshals premiered to over 8 million viewers last week, and its second season is already drawing big numbers. For more on that, check out Marshals season 2 dominating the ratings. Meanwhile, Lioness returned to positive reviews for its third season, and Landman won't be back until 2027 at the earliest.
Despite Sheridan's reported departure from Paramount after contract negotiations fell through, his shows remain a cornerstone of the streamer's strategy. And for Stallone fans, there's more to look forward to: I Play Rocky, a dramatization of the actor's iconic origins, hits theaters this November.
With Winter back at the helm and a spin-off on the horizon, Tulsa King Season 4 is shaping up to be a major moment for the franchise. Mark your calendars for October 16, 2026—Dwight Manfredi isn't done yet.
