Dwight Manfredi isn’t done building his empire. Tulsa King is officially coming back for Season 4, and there’s already a lot to unpack.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the release date, cast, story, and everything else confirmed so far.
Is Tulsa King Season 4 Happening?
Yes. It’s official.
Paramount+ renewed Tulsa King for Season 4 on September 17, 2025. The announcement came just days before Season 3 even premiered, so the streamer clearly wasn’t worried about how the new season would land.
Filming started on November 4, 2025, at Eagle Rock Studios in Atlanta. Production has already wrapped, so Season 4 is fully in the can and moving toward release.
When Does Tulsa King Season 4 Come Out?
There’s no official premiere date yet. But we can make a pretty confident guess.
Here’s the pattern so far:
- Season 1: November 2022
- Season 2: September 2024
- Season 3: September 2025
Every season has landed in the fall. Based on that pattern, most industry watchers expect Season 4 to arrive sometime between September and December 2026.
Paramount typically confirms exact dates for its shows about six to eight weeks before launch. So expect an official announcement sometime in mid-to-late summer 2026.
Who’s Coming Back for Season 4?
Sylvester Stallone is confirmed to return as Dwight “The General” Manfredi. That much was never in doubt.
The rest of the core cast is expected back too, including:
- Martin Starr as Bodhi
- Jay Will as Tyson
- Annabella Sciorra as Joanne
- Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher
- Robert Patrick as ATF Agent Stan Kotch
- Frank Grillo
- Garrett Hedlund
- Dana Delany as Margaret
- Kevin Pollak as Musso
- Beau Knapp as Cole
Samuel L. Jackson is also expected to appear again, though only briefly. His character, Russell Lee Washington Jr., is set to move over to the new spinoff series, NOLA King.
Two new names have also joined the cast:
- Gretchen Mol, playing Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician
- Flula Borg, in a role that hasn’t been detailed yet
What Happened Behind the Scenes
Season 4 hasn’t had the smoothest production. A few things worth knowing:
- Terence Winter stepped in as the new executive producer and head writer.
- Around 26 crew members were cut just a week before filming began.
- Taylor Sheridan, the creator behind the entire Tulsa King universe, is reportedly stepping away from his deal with Paramount.
None of that has affected the show’s renewal or production schedule so far, but it’s clearly been a more turbulent season to put together than the first three.
How Did Season 3 End?
Quick recap, since it sets up everything for Season 4.
Season 3 centered on a brutal fight between Dwight and Jeremiah Dunmire, a ruthless liquor magnate trying to take over Dwight’s distillery. Things got personal fast. Jeremiah kidnapped Dwight’s sister, Joanne, to force her to sign the business over to him.
She refused.
Dwight and his crew launched a full-scale rescue mission, stormed Jeremiah’s compound, and saved her. In the finale’s most talked-about moment, Dwight gets his revenge by setting Jeremiah on fire, a callback to something Jeremiah had bragged about earlier in the season.
By the end of the episode:
- Dwight secures full control of Montague Distilleries.
- Cal Thresher wins the race for Oklahoma governor.
- Margaret starts working inside Thresher’s new administration.
- Russell Lee Washington Jr. quietly heads toward New Orleans, setting up the NOLA King spinoff.
Dwight wins the war, but the finale makes it clear his grip on power is shakier than it looks.
What Could Season 4 Be About?
Paramount hasn’t released any official plot details yet. But based on where Season 3 left off, a few storylines seem likely to carry into Season 4:
- Dwight adjusting to life as the undisputed head of the Tulsa liquor business
- New threats emerging now that Jeremiah is gone
- Fallout from Cal Thresher’s rise to governor
- Margaret’s growing role in state politics
- The ripple effects of Russell Lee Washington Jr.’s exit as NOLA King kicks off
What Is NOLA King?
NOLA King is a companion series set in the same world as Tulsa King. It follows Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Russell Lee Washington Jr., as he builds a new criminal foothold in New Orleans.
It was greenlit alongside the Season 4 renewal, so expect crossover moments and shared storylines between the two shows going forward.
