Tulsa King Season 2 Potential Release Date, Cast, Plot and Everything You Need to Know

When will Dwight Manfredi be back?

The Taylor Sheridan-verse continues to expand. On top of his Yellowstone franchise, mob drama Tulsa King starring action legend Sylvester Stallone is returning to TV screens for a second season.

Paramount+ boss Chris McCarthy said the studio “instantly” greenlit a season two after Tulsa King’s first outing “shattered records”. It ultimately made for the streamer’s biggest new sign-up day history yet, he told Parade.

In a drama worlds away from the unfolding intrigue of the Yellowstone ranch, the Paramount+ show laid the first brick in a gritty yet comedic crime-thriller universe.

We already have confirmation Stallone and ‘The General’ mob boss Dwight Manfredi will be back for a second season, but when exactly will the new episodes land and what can we expect from them? Here’s everything you need to know…

Tulsa King season 2 potential release date: When will it air?
While we know the Stallone star vehicle will be back at some point, Paramount has yet to announce an official release date for Tulsa King season 2.

Even though the Hollywood strikes have ended and many TV productions have jolted back into action, we’ve not yet had any word on whether this is the case for Tulsa King.

However, we do know that work is set to get going soon, as the production has started scouting out for crew members in an official job listing, The Direct reports.

Filming for the second season is also set to move from Oklahoma to Atlanta, although the show will still be set in its titular city. Atlanta’s state Georgia has a number of attractive tax breaks for film crews but we don’t know the exact reason for the move.

It could have something to do with Stallone’s experience filming in Oklahoma during the summer of 2022. He jokingly tweeted at the time: “Being in Oklahoma has definitely prepared me for a lifetime in hell if I ever got sent there!”

As always, watch this space for when we get that firmed-up release date.

Tulsa King season 2 cast: Who’s in it?
Alongside Stallone’s New York mafia capo, we can expect much of the cast to remain the same from the first season, since there were no major departures or even hastily-dug-dirt-hole deaths.

Stallone’s right-hand man and former legal weed dealer Bodhi (Martin Starr) should be back alongside unexpected ally Manny (Max Casella). There’s also still the loose thread of his romantic interest Stacy (Andrea Savage), who’s secretly a former ATF agent.

And let’s be grateful that Stallone agreed to come back at all – especially considering how tough he found the first season.

“It’s beyond tough. I can’t believe some people have done this for four, five or six seasons,” he told Variety. “It’s brutal, compared to filmmaking. I’ll never say, ‘This is a hard shoot’ again on a feature. It’s a vacation compared to this! It really is!”

Here’s the full Tulsa King season two cast list we can expect for now, although future announcements may change the players…

• Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi
• Andrea Savage as Stacy Beale
• Max Casella as Armand Truisi
• Martin Starr as Bodhi
• Domenick Lombardozzi as Chickie Invernizzi
• Vincent Piazza as Vince Antonacci
• Jay Will as Tyson Mitchell
• Garrett Hedlund as Mitch Keller
• AC Peterson as Pete Invernizzi
• Dana Delany as Margaret Deveraux

Tulsa King season 2 plot: What will happen?
Tulsa King spoilers follow.

The first season saw Stallone’s character sent from New York to Tulsa after a prison stint, with the task of establishing a new criminal syndicate on behalf of the Invernizzi family on the ground in Oklahoma.

However, the first season ended with Manfredi landing in the handcuffs of the law, after Stacey set him up. So there is likely legal trouble ahead for the character in season two – although no plot details have been officially confirmed.

Elsewhere on the show, although Manfredi will probably be behind bars from the outset, there’s potential for bubbling resentment to spew over after Chickie’s disrespectful decision to walk away from the family.

The TV bosses over at Paramount have also hinted that Tulsa King could go the same way Yellowstone has and explore the possibility of spin-off shows, based either around Oklahoma or the Invernizzi crime family.

Paramount’s Tanya Giles said: “The huge success we’ve had with Tulsa King and Sylvester Stallone opens up possibilities with Taylor Sheridan, who consistently, his mind works in terms of universes and backstories, so I think there’s always a possibility that there’s more to that universe and more to that story.”

Tulsa King season 2 trailer: When can I watch it?
Much like the release date, we still don’t have a trailer for the new part of Tulsa King, so sit tight for now.
