Liputan6.com, Jakarta Dwight Manfredi fans, get ready! The popular crime drama series, Tulsa King, has been officially renewed for a fourth season by Paramount+.

The renewal announcement came in September 2025, even before Season 3 had aired.

Production for Tulsa King Season 4 has been confirmed and is underway in Atlanta.

The series star, Sylvester Stallone, even shared a brief clip from the set in mid-November 2025, confirming the start of filming to fans.

Stallone shared a brief clip on Instagram in mid-November of himself in costume on set at the Montague distillery.

"We're back on the set of Tulsa King, and this is the beginning of the fourth season," he says with a lit cigar in hand.

"I can't wait, I can't wait..."


Tulsa King Season 4 Production Status

Paramount+ gave the green light to Tulsa King Season 4.

This decision was made long before Season 3 concluded its run, signaling the series' consistent performance in attracting global audiences.

As of November 2025, an official release date for Tulsa King Season 4 has not been announced.

However, based on previous release schedules, analysts predict that the fourth season will likely air in late summer or early fall 2026.

Production has now begun in Atlanta, Georgia.

Sylvester Stallone, the legendary actor who plays Dwight Manfredi, personally confirmed this via a social media post, stating, "We're back on the set of Tulsa King, and this is the beginning of season four."


Behind-the-Scenes Drama in Tulsa King Season 4

The production of Tulsa King Season 4 was marked by several significant changes behind the scenes.

Terence Winter, the critically acclaimed showrunner for Season 1, will return to his prominent role as executive producer and head writer.

Dave Erickson previously took over as showrunner for Season 3.

However, Winter's return hasn't necessarily eased tensions.

There have been reports of behind-the-scenes drama surrounding the production of Season 4, particularly regarding the role of Scott Stone.

The executive in charge of production at 101 Studios, the company behind Tulsa King, has reportedly taken on the role of de facto showrunner, raising questions about the creative leadership structure.

The situation was compounded by the abrupt dismissal of more than two dozen crew members.

Crew members from various departments, including stunt, sound, transportation, and hair, were dismissed and replaced just days before filming on Tulsa King Season 4 began.

Emmy-nominated stunt coordinator Freddie Poole expressed concern after Stone reportedly said, "We won't have a showrunner. 101 is the showrunner."


Tulsa King Season 4 Cast and Storyline

For Tulsa King Season 4, fans can expect to see the returning core cast they've come to know and love.

Sylvester Stallone will return as Dwight "The General" Manfredi, accompanied by Martin Starr, Jay Will, Garrett Hedlund, Chris Caldovino, McKenna Quigley Harrington, Dana Delany, Neal McDonough, Frank Grillo, and Annabella Sciorra.

In addition to familiar faces, the fourth season will also introduce new talent.

Gretchen Mol, best known for her role on Boardwalk Empire, is reportedly joining the cast as a new member.

Mol will play Amanda Clark, a powerful politician in Tulsa, which will likely add a new dynamic to the story.

Although an official synopsis for Tulsa King Season 4 has not been released, the season is expected to continue the unresolved storylines from Season 3.

The Season 3 finale left several plot points unresolved, including threats from Agent Musso and the Renzetti family, as well as a major focus on the rescue of Joanne Manfredi.

Additionally, a spin-off series titled NOLA King, starring Samuel L. Jackson, has also been ordered, with Jackson himself appearing in the final episodes of Season 3 as Russell Lee Washington Jr.
