Taylor Sheridan and Sylvester Stallone's TULSA KING Renewed For Season 2!
Taylor Sheridan and Sylvester Stallone’s crime series Tulsa King has been officially renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+. I don’t know if you‘ve been watching this show, but it’s pretty damn fantastic! I’m a fan, so I’m happy to learn that we’ll be getting another season.
The rating on the show has been great and the series premiere drew 3.7 million viewers, making it the best new linear cable premiere of 2022. In the series, Stallone plays Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a Mafia capo who is released from prison after 25 years and then sent to Tulsa, OK. where he quickly sets out to establish his own criminal empire.
Chris McCarthy, President and CEO of Paramount Media Networks and MTV Entertainment Studios said in a statement: “Tulsa King scored as the #1 new series of the year, topping all others including the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, with its preview on Paramount Network, and on Paramount+, it shattered records, driving us to our biggest new sign-up day in history – which is why we instantly greenlit season two. Tulsa King together with Mayor of Kingstown, 1883 and the upcoming 1923, undeniably confirm the success of our strategy to franchise Yellowstone and use it to supercharge streaming growth – none of which would be possible without the creative mastermind of Taylor Sheridan.”
Tanya Giles, chief programming officer for Paramount Streaming, added: “With the combination of the incomparable Sylvester Stallone and Taylor Sheridan’s darkly comedic twist on the beloved mobster genre, we have found our latest hit in Tulsa King. The series’ premiere on Paramount+ helped drive a record sign-up day fueled by our unique ability as Paramount Global to tap into Paramount Network’s incredible ‘Yellowstone’ audience.”
Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios said: “We could not be more excited about the success of Tulsa King. It’s a fun, fresh show that audiences are truly embracing in no small part because of its star, Sylvester Stallone. We are thankful to Chris McCarthy and MTV Entertainment Studios for their continued support and we are looking forward to getting back on set for season two.”
The series also stars Andrea Savage, Max Casella, Martin Starr, Domenik Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza, Jay Will, Garret Hedlund, A.C. Peterson, and Dana Delany.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing how the story in the series evolves over the course of Season 2.
