Tulsa King Season 3: Sylvester Stallone’s Crime Saga Expands, Streams on Sunset & Paramount+

The wait is nearly over—Tulsa King is coming back in a big way. Paramount+ has officially confirmed that the hit series, starring Sylvester Stallone in one of the most talked-about roles of his career, will return for its third season on Sunday, September 21, 2025. Following its debut, new episodes will drop weekly every Sunday, continuing the story of Dwight “The General” Manfredi as he expands his empire and faces the kind of enemies only Tulsa could create.

What to Expect in Season 3

This season promises higher stakes, new blood, and the kind of gritty storytelling that’s turned Tulsa King into one of streaming’s must-watch crime dramas.

Dwight’s Expanding Empire: At the heart of Season 3 is Dwight’s relentless ambition. His foothold in Tulsa has transformed from a shaky startup operation into a legitimate empire—but bigger empires attract bigger threats. The rules of the mob are no longer enough to protect him, and the new season digs deep into the risks that come with unchecked power.
The Dunmires Enter the Picture: Season 3 introduces Dwight’s “most dangerous adversaries yet”—the Dunmires, a wealthy, influential family that doesn’t play by traditional mob rules. Robert Patrick (known for Terminator 2) steps into the role of patriarch Jeremiah Dunmire, while Beau Knapp plays his son, Cole. Together, they embody old-school brutality with new-school resources, creating a formidable force that won’t bend to Dwight’s charm or intimidation.
Samuel L. Jackson Joins the Cast: In one of the most exciting reveals, Samuel L. Jackson guest stars as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a former prison acquaintance of Dwight’s who is sent back into his life with one mission: kill him. Their reunion adds another layer of tension—and Jackson’s role is more than a cameo. His character is being positioned to launch a Tulsa King spin-off series, NOLA King, expanding the universe well beyond Oklahoma.
Behind the Camera: There’s also a major production change this season. Dave Erickson, best known for his work on Mayor of Kingstown, is stepping in as showrunner. Fans can expect the series to lean even more into layered storytelling and tense world-building while keeping the sharp wit and street-level grit that set Tulsa King apart.

Why Tulsa King Season 3 Matters

Few shows have captured the culture clash between mob traditions and modern American life quite like Tulsa King. The series not only gives Stallone one of his richest TV roles but also expands the television crime drama genre with fresh energy. By throwing Dwight into a setting that feels both foreign and familiar, each season has deepened the contrast between his old-world mafia values and the unpredictable, lawless landscapes of middle America.

With Season 3, that dynamic gets even more explosive. Dwight is no longer the outsider trying to find his footing—he’s the power in the room. And that power is about to be tested like never before.

How to Watch and Catch Up

If you need to revisit Dwight’s rise before Season 3 premieres, both Season 1 and Season 2 are now streaming exclusively on Sunset & Paramount+. That means fans can relive the chaos, loyalty shifts, and hard-hitting action from the very beginning—all while preparing for what’s shaping up to be the biggest season yet.

Mark your calendars: Sunday, September 21, 2025 is the day Tulsa King returns. The empire is bigger, the enemies are tougher, and the game is deadlier than ever.
