Sylvester Stallone is on the verge of sealing a lucrative deal to reprise his iconic role in Tulsa King for not just one but two additional seasons. This exciting development has fans buzzing, especially as rumors suggest the series may continue even further, potentially expanding into spin-offs that mirror the success of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone franchise. The anticipation surrounding the continuation of this gripping crime drama only adds to the show’s growing popularity on Paramount+, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.

The first two seasons of Sylvester Stallone’s acclaimed series Tulsa King have proven to be a remarkable triumph for the streaming platform Paramount+. While the official renewal has yet to be announced, sources from Deadline indicate that Stallone is currently negotiating a new agreement that will pave the way for the production of season 3 and season 4. Notably, this development does not imply that the series will end after its fourth installment; instead, it opens the door for further episodes or even spin-offs, much like the lucrative expansions of the Yellowstone universe.

In addition to the potential for extended seasons, reports suggest that Stallone is in line for a significant pay raise for the upcoming seasons. Initially earning around $750,000 per episode for the first season, his remuneration was increased to an impressive $1.5 million per episode for the second season. This considerable financial investment underscores not only Stallone’s star power but also the confidence Paramount+ has in the ongoing success of Tulsa King as a premier crime drama.

Stallone himself hinted at the ongoing development of Tulsa King season 3 shortly after the exhilarating debut of the second season. He expressed his excitement, stating, “I am elated and so proud of our cast because our show has gone up 75% over last year which is unheard of, and Season 2 got 100% on ROTTEN TOMATOES!” Furthermore, he proudly mentioned, “Also it’s the Second most popular show in the WORLD across all streaming services! Thank you so much and we are working on the third season at this moment.” His enthusiasm reflects the show’s growing popularity and critical acclaim, making the anticipation for the next season even greater.

The official synopsis for Tulsa King season 2 reveals a gripping narrative: “Dwight (Stallone) and his crew continue to build up and defend their growing empire in Tulsa, but just as they get their bearings, they realize that they’re not the only ones who want to stake their claim. With looming threats from the Kansas City mob and a very powerful local businessman, Dwight struggles to keep his family and crew safe while keeping track of all his affairs. Plus, he still has unfinished business back in New York.” This synopsis foreshadows intense conflicts and dramatic developments that are sure to captivate audiences.

Our own Alex Maidy has shared his thoughts on the new season, praising it as “as good if not better” than the inaugural season. He elaborated, “This new season further distinguishes itself from other Taylor Sheridan-created series rather than getting lumped in as another show from the guy who made Yellowstone.” Maidy continues by stating, “Tulsa King is violent, funny, and the best mob series to hit the air since The Sopranos.” His insights highlight the series’ unique qualities and appeal, making it a standout in the crowded landscape of crime dramas.
