For fans who can't get enough of cowboy hats, loyalty tests, and backroom betrayals, Tulsa King remains a must-watch. Taylor Sheridan's Oklahoma-set crime drama has been a hit since its 2022 debut, and the current fourth season is keeping the momentum going with plenty of twists and turns.
Sylvester Stallone's Dwight "The General" Manfredi returned on October 16, and the fight to legitimize his empire while facing corrupt politicians and new enemies has already delivered some jaw-dropping moments. Episode 4, "Square One," airs today (Friday, November 6) on Paramount+, written by Joseph Riccobene and Terence Winter and directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly. But while we're deep in the thick of this season, the show is already building toward its fifth.
Season 5 is currently in production in New York, with new series regulars like Erik Palladino, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Skordi, and Nickola Shreli already on board. Now, Deadline has exclusively revealed that Manny Montana, known for his roles in Good Girls and Ironheart, will join the cast as Gilberto Torres.
According to the character description, Torres is "a gangster with a strong presence, though he doesn't have to advertise it." He's the kind of guy who knows everything happening in New York through his street network—nothing gets past him. That's a perfect setup for some serious power plays when he crosses paths with Dwight.
Montana's addition is just one of several moves for the upcoming season. The show has also promoted Scarlet Rose Stallone—Sylvester Stallone's daughter—from a recurring role to a series regular. That promotion has sparked a wave of nepotism accusations online, and Stallone himself has fired back.
"First they go, 'Nepotism is terrible,' I said, 'Oh please, you're not a good parent if you haven't performed a little nepotism,'" Stallone told reporters. "Then obviously you don't care about your kids, because they come first." He added, "People will say, 'She got that job, it's too easy.' You're right. Perhaps it could be. But to maintain that, to be in front of millions of people, you either got it or you don't."
While the nepotism debate rages, fans are more focused on what's next for Dwight. The show's blend of gritty crime and dry humor has kept audiences hooked, and with Montana joining the fold, the New York setting promises to bring a fresh dynamic.
