Paramount+ has found a hit show in Tulsa King. Here are the answers to the burning questions surrounding season 2 of the popular series.
- Tulsa King ‘s success has led to anticipation for Season 2, with limited updates from Paramount.
- The show’s creative shakeup hints at incomplete aspects of Season 2, likely causing production delays.
- The season 1 cliffhanger leaves key questions unanswered, and the original cast is set to return for season 2.
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan has found even more success with his latest cowboy/mafia drama, Tulsa King. The show centers around a mobster who is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma after finishing a lengthy prison sentence. After assembling a rag-tag crew of misfits, Dwight (Sylvester Stallone) seeks to build his own family and take over Tulsa. With the show’s success, there is much anticipation around the second season, which is further compounded by Paramount releasing very limited Tulsa King season 2 updates.
Although it seemed like Dwight and company would have a happy ending, the finale ended on a cliffhanger. Dwight was finally caught by the ATF/FBI. With the last scene of Tulsa King season 1 showing Dwight’s daughter Tina (Tatiana Zappardino) reliving her traumatic childhood by watching her father leave in handcuffs again, the ending left many questions unanswered. However, some good news is that Paramount+’s Tulsa King has been renewed for a second season. Here are all the latest Tulsa King season 2 updates audiences might’ve missed.
Tulsa King Season 2: Latest News
A Creative Shakeup Behind The Scenes
Though many details about the upcoming season are unknown, the latest news sees Tulsa King season 2 rehire its original showrunner. Season 1 showrunner Terence Winter departed the series following the conclusion of the premiere season, but he has now been rehired in a new capacity. Winter will still serve as a writer for season 2, but he will no longer be the showrunner. Instead, creator Taylor Sheridan has opted to leave that role unfilled and take a more hands-on approach with his newest hit.
This news suggests that many of the creative aspects of Tulsa King season 2 are not completed yet, meaning production may still be a ways off. Despite the show’s immediate success, it has been bogged down in delays and hasn’t been able to rush out a second season to meet demand.
Tulsa King Season 2 Has Been Renewed
More Episodes Are On The Way
Tulsa King was renewed shortly after the first three episodes premiered. It quickly became Paramount+’s biggest hit after 1923, the Yellowstone spin-off, and it also certainly helped that Tulsa King’s premiere episode drew a record number of new subscribers to Paramount+.

Tulsa King Season 2 Story Details
Season 1 Ended On A Massive Cliffhanger
Dwight and his crew were able to defeat a rival biker gang led by a local kingpin named Waltrip (Ritchie Coster), but he still has a few enemies lurking about. Stacy Beale, Dwight’s love interest throughout the first season, betrayed him and had him arrested during the finale. Stacy isn’t the only one gunning for Dwight, as he still has Chickie, the new boss of the Invernizzi family, plotting his revenge after being threatened by Dwight in the finale.
The Questions Tulsa King Season 2 Can Answer
Dwight’s Story Is Far From Over After Season 1
Tulsa King season 2 has a lot of big questions to ask following the end of the first season. The biggest one is obviously Dwight’s fate after he is arrested in the Tulsa King’s season 1 finale. That also brings his relationship with Stacy into question. She was willing to bend the rules and put her career on the line for him only to betray him by turning him in. Will they rekindle their romance or are they enemies now?
There is also the question of who will step in as the new villain in season 2. Caolan Waltrip was an appropriately detestable and ruthless foe for Dwight to go up against, but in the end, Dwight and the others made short work of him. Chickie seems likely to step up as the next major threat after killing his own father to take control of the family business. Though Dwight was able to back him down, it seems unlikely he will forget and will come for everything Dwight built in Tulsa King season 2.
