Production has wrapped on the first season of the upcoming series project Tulsa King, which was created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown) and Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire). Sylvester Stallone shared a video on social media in which he gives a speech saying he had “so much fun” and that he’s “never worked so hard” in his life. He went on to say: “What we came up with is something extraordinary and life changing for me. Keep punching, love you guys.”
He also shared the following note with the video:
TULSA KING… This was a very long , difficult ,exciting, mind blowing production has just ended in Oklahoma. Though it was a long time to be away it was worth it and to work with fantastic talent in front and behind the camera. Special shout out to paramountplus for making this happen, to Paramounts Kevin Cox, David Glasser, Terry Winter, Braden Aftergood, Fiona Cush, and last but not least Taylor Sheridan

The series is set in present day, and the mobster is faced with the startling task of reestablishing his Italian mafia family to the modernized, straight-shooting town of Tulsa. There, Sal encounters surprising and unsuspecting characters who follow him along his unconventional path to power.
The show also stars Andrea Savage (I'm Sorry), Martin Starr (Silicon Valley), Max Casella (The Tender Bar), Domenick Lombardozzi (The Irishman), Vincent Piazza (Boardwalk Empire), Jay Will (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), A.C. Peterson (Superman & Lois) with Garrett Hedlund (The United States vs. Billie Holiday).
Tulsa King is set to premiere on November 13th, 2022.
