Dwight “The General” Manfredi has successfully turned Oklahoma into his personal kingdom, but the crown is getting heavier by the day. Following the explosive and fiery conclusion of Season 3 in November 2025, Paramount+ wasted no time solidifying the future of its flagship mob drama. As of May 16, 2026, cameras are spinning, production is moving at a breakneck pace, and massive new threats are already heading to Tulsa.
Tulsa King Season 4: Release Date Buzz
Paramount officially renewed the series for a fourth season back in September 2025—concurrent with the launch of Season 3.
-
Official Status: Renewed & In Active Production.
-
The Behind-the-Scenes Shift: In major creative news, original showrunner Terence Winter (The Sopranos, The Wolf of Wall Street) has officially stepped back into the captain’s chair to helm Season 4, taking back the reins from Dave Erickson.
-
Projected Release Window: Late 2026.
-
The Schedule: Paramount is aiming to pull off a fast turnaround. Given that production is fully underway, industry insiders expect Season 4 to drop before the end of 2026 (likely a November rollout), maintaining the annual release cycle fans have grown to love.
Tulsa King Season 4: Returning & New Cast
While Sylvester Stallone’s commitment ensures Dwight will lead the charge for at least two more seasons, the cast list is undergoing some fascinating Taylor Sheridan-style upgrades.

Sylvester Stallone as Dwight “The General” Manfredi
-
Martin Starr as Lawrence “Bodhi” Geigerman
-

Major New Additions
-
Richie Stephens as English Dan: In a massive casting coup, Mayor of Kingstown alum (and real-life gangster-turned-actor) Richie Stephens has officially joined the cast. He will portray English Dan, a dangerous, mid-level crime boss and rival supplier who enters the Oklahoma territory specifically to challenge Dwight’s monopoly on the local rackets.
-
The “Frisco” Tie-In: Production updates indicate that several auxiliary characters will bridge the gap between Tulsa and the upcoming New Orleans-based spinoff series, Frisco King (starring Samuel L. Jackson), which is filming simultaneously.
Tulsa King Season 4: Major Story Predictions
Season 3 wrapped in typical, brutal Taylor Sheridan fashion with the episode “Jesus Lizard.” Dwight permanently removed one of his greatest thorns by burning Jeremiah Dunmire alive to rescue his sister, Joanne. However, the vacuum left by Dunmire’s death has exposed Dwight’s flank.
Key narrative predictions for Season 4 include:
-
The English Dan Rivalry: Unlike past corporate or political enemies, English Dan represents a gritty, street-level supply-chain threat. He is expected to actively try to squeeze Dwight out of his newly expanded liquor and extortion operations, resulting in a bloody territory war.
-
The Cal Thresher Threat: Though Dunmire is gone, local political manipulator Cal Thresher (Neal McDonough) remains alive, bitter, and highly influential. Expect Thresher to use legal pipelines, zoning laws, and local law enforcement to put a corporate chokehold on the Bred2Buck crew.
-
Tyson’s Deepening Darkness: Tyson’s “side hustle” arcs from the previous season drew massive heat. Under Winter’s writing room, Tyson is predicted to cross a point of no return, moving from Dwight’s charismatic young driver to a fully hardened, compromised mob soldier.
-
Building the Kingdom: With Stallone having openly discussed mapping out the show’s trajectory toward a potential Season 5 and 6, Season 4 will likely see Dwight trying to legitimize his empire—moving away from small-town dispensaries and into high-stakes, multi-state corporate racketeering.
Where to Watch: You can stream every episode of Seasons 1 through 3 right now exclusively on Paramount+. Keep an eye out for a teaser trailer expected to debut during the late summer broadcasting blocks.
