Tulsa King was a fan-celebrated series by Paramount+. After season 1, we all had a question: “Will there be Tulsa King season 2?”. The answer is yes. Paramount+ renewed Tulsa King for season 2. It’s an American crime drama series that premiered in November 2022.
Created by Taylor Sheridan with Terence Winter, the series was produced by 101 Studios, Bosque Ranch Productions, Cold Front Productions, Balboa Productions, and MTV Entertainment Studios.
The official synopsis of Tulsa King season 1 on IMDb follows:
“Following his release from prison, Mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he builds a new criminal empire with a group of unlikely characters.”
Exploring the renewal of Sylvester Stallone’s iconic crime drama series: Tulsa King Season 2
Tulsa King season 2 will be a rocking one. The series was expected to be released in 2023 but got delayed because of the WGA strike.
Season one follows Manfredi being released from prison after 25 years and starting to live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, because neither his mafia family nor his real family don’t want him around. In Tulsa, he forms his own gang and fights against the others, winning them.
When everything seems fine, the ATF superiors force Manfredi’s love interest to turn him in. He gets arrested. In Tulsa King season 2, we can expect Manfredi to face the aftermath of his arrest. This may open up new possible storylines that keep the viewer’s interest in the line.

This is the first television series in which Sylvester Stallone acted. With 7 episodes in 40 minutes of runtime, Tulsa King didn’t fail to gain viewership. Because of this, the series got renewed for the second season even before season 1 ended.
Stallone seems very interested in acting in this series, as the delay in filming Tulsa King season 2 because of the WGA strike affected him dearly.
In an interview with News Week, he stated:
“It’s definitely affecting work because we can’t move forward with a lot of projects, especially Tulsa King, But I think it’s changed so much that the writers do have a serious gripe… They’re in a grievance that it’s changed. There’s not enough work to keep all these writers going.”
Even before the strike, the filming of Tulsa King season 2 was delayed as Terence Winter decided to step down due to creative differences.
However, he will remain the executive producer. There was also an issue with filming in Tulsa because of tax incentives, so the series 2 shoot may take place in some other location.
There was also speculation about a spin-off for Tulsa King, as Paramount Global streaming chief Tanya Giles told Indiewire:
“The huge success we’ve had with Tulsa King and Sylvester Stallone opens up possibilities with Taylor Sheridan, who consistently, his mind works in terms of universes and backstories, so I think there’s always a possibility that there’s more to that universe and more to that story,”
So let’s wait and watch for Tulsa King season 2 and its Spin-offs.
