Sylvester Stallone is back as mob boss Dwight “The General” Manfredi in “Tulsa King” season 3, and fans can expect more “blood and bourbon” than ever.
The Paramount+ crime dramedy, created by “Yellowstone” mastermind Taylor Sheridan, premiered its third season on Sunday, September 21, and it already promises high-stakes drama, new enemies, and a shocking finale that Stallone himself helped write.
‘Tulsa King’ Season 3 Premiere, Episodes, and Cast
Season 3 premiered September 21 on Paramount+ with episode one, “Blood and Bourbon.” According to Paramount+, the 10-episode season will roll out weekly on Sundays, with the finale set for November 23. New episodes stream at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET.
The new season brings fresh faces into Dwight’s orbit. Robert Patrick plays Jeremiah Dunmire, also known as the “Tyrant of Tulsa,” while Samuel L. Jackson joins as Russell Lee Washington Jr. Jackson’s character will anchor the upcoming spinoff “NOLA King.”
In an interview with TV Insider, Stallone admitted he had long wanted to play a gangster. “I’ve been wanting to play a gangster my whole life and it just never happened,” he said. “I am incredibly surprised by the success of this show, but I had a gut feeling that if I played it a little bit differently, and they surrounded me with a great cast, I thought we would pop.”
The actor, who also writes episodes, teased a jaw-dropping ending to the season. “The ending of this season, you are not going to believe,” he told TV Fanatic. “You’re going to think Stallone has lost his mind. I wrote this scene that really cracks the barrier of beyond the pale.”
