Taylor Sheridan's hit gangster series Tulsa King finally returned for its sophomore season in 2024, and now a third season is coming soon. Debuting in 2022 and developed by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, Tulsa King concerns disgraced former mafioso Dwight "The General" Manfredi who is exiled to Oklahoma where he begins to establish his own criminal enterprise. Anchored by Sylvester Stallone in his first major TV role, Tulsa King combines the neo-Western excitement of Sheridan's oeuvre with the added flair of the gangster genre for an interesting result. A second season was quickly announced, but delays hampered its progress.

Fortunately, Tulsa King season 2 finally did arrive in September 2024, and the series didn't miss a beat as The General returned with a heap of new trouble to deal with. The arrival of rival criminal enterprises threatens Dwight's burgeoning empire, and he has to use his unique set of skills to dispatch those who want to muscle in on his territory. With a name like Sylvester Stallone attached to the cast of Tulsa King, the chance of a third season was never off the table. Now, news is starting to pour in regarding the crime drama's return.

The overwhelming popularity of Taylor Sheridan's shows has helped to make Tulsa King an ongoing series, but season 3 got off to a weird start.

The ending of Tulsa King season 2 was a twist-filled roller-coaster ride, and it left a lot of things unresolved going into season 3.
