In an exciting update for fans, Sylvester Stallone is set to reprise his role as Oklahoma crime boss Dwight “The General” Manfredi in the highly anticipated third season of the hit series *Tulsa King*. Paramount+ recently confirmed that production is underway in both Atlanta and Oklahoma, further igniting enthusiasm for the show's return.

The renewal for a third season comes as no shock. The second season's premiere in September achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming Paramount+'s most-watched global launch in the platform’s history. Furthermore, *Tulsa King* ranked among Nielsen's Top 10 streaming titles throughout its sophomore season, underscoring its popularity and strong viewer engagement.

In a significant shift behind the scenes, executive producer Dave Erickson will step in as the sole showrunner for Season 3. Known for his work on Taylor Sheridan’s *Mayor of Kingstown*, Erickson recently sealed a multi-year overall deal with MTV Entertainment Studios, suggesting he may bring a fresh vision and new direction to the series.

Notably, this announcement omits some familiar names from Season 2. Terence Winter, the previously on-and-off lead writer, has not been retained. In the last season, Winter and director Craig Zisk shared showrunning responsibilities, creating a collaborative balance between the writing and production aspects. As changes unfold, it remains to be seen how this new leadership will affect the series' narrative style and character development.

While there is no official release date for Season 3, fan expectations are running high for a premiere in the fourth quarter of this year. As anticipation builds, viewers are already speculating about plot twists and character arcs.

Adding to Stallone's publicity, he recently received an unexpected honor as one of President Trump's “Special Ambassadors” to the beleaguered Hollywood alongside Mel Gibson and Jon Voight. The details and implications of this role, however, remain puzzling and largely undefined.

In addition to *Tulsa King*, Taylor Sheridan's production slate for Paramount+ is increasingly impressive, featuring titles such as *Landman*, *1923*, *Lioness*, and *Mayor of Kingstown*. With such a prolific output, Sheridan continues to carve out a dominant presence in the streaming landscape.

As the new season unfolds, fans and newcomers alike are eagerly awaiting more updates on *Tulsa King*, with Stallone's dynamic portrayal at the heart of its success. Stay tuned for more thrilling announcements!
