Tulsa King Season 4: Premiere Date Revealed + Major Cast Shakeup
Tulsa King Season 4: Everything We Know So Far (Simple Breakdown)
The Big News: A Premiere Date Is Coming Very Soon
Good news, fans! We’re about to find out exactly when Tulsa King Season 4 drops.
Jane Wiseman, the Head of Originals at Paramount+ (that’s the streaming service where the show lives), just told Deadline that an official premiere date announcement is imminent. She didn’t just confirm the date is coming—she also gave a glowing early review.
Important Point
Jane Wiseman’s Verdict: "It’s an incredible season. Sly [Stallone] is in great form in the show, and there’s going to be some surprises. But that show is continuing."
In plain English: The show isn’t ending anytime soon.
What Are the Stars Teasing?
While we wait for the date, the cast has been dropping hints about the vibe of the new season.
1. Sylvester Stallone (Dwight "The General" Manfredi)
A few months back, Sly posted on social media that the new episodes had finished filming and entered the editing room. His caption? "COMING YOUR WAY SOON!"
2. Kevin Pollak (FBI Special Agent Musso)
If you thought Season 3 was intense, buckle up. Pollak summed up Season 4 in just four words:
"Violence, death, and Sly."
He also warned that major characters might die, saying the reactions will be a mix of "some outrage" and "maybe some celebration."
Quick Recap: Where Did Season 3 Leave Off?
Don’t worry if you need a refresher—here’s the "Previously On" in 3 bullets:
- Dwight won big: He took down the bad guy (Jeremiah Dunmire) and secured a federal liquor license for his distillery. Legit business? Check.
- But he’s not free: FBI Agent Musso helped him out, but the price was steep. Musso’s parting words: *"You fcking owe me."**
- The tension is set: Season 4 picks up with Dwight still tangled up with the Feds, whether he likes it or not.
Meet the New Faces Shaking Up Tulsa
Dwight’s world is getting crowded. Here are the three major new players joining Season 4:
| Actor | Character | Role Description |
|---|---|---|
| Richie Stephens | English Dan | A mid-level crime boss and rival supplier. Fun fact: Stephens is a former real-life gangster turned actor. |
| Gretchen Mol | Amanda Clark | A Tulsa politician. Expect political maneuvering and new headaches for Dwight. |
| Flula Borg | Bradley Van Heusen | A tech billionaire villain. Think: modern money vs. old-school muscle. |
The Future: Season 5, New York, and a Spinoff?!
Paramount+ isn’t just thinking about Season 4—they’re building a whole universe.
1. Season 5 Is Being Written Right Now
- A writers’ room opened up immediately after Season 4 wrapped filming.
- Big idea on the table: Moving the show from Atlanta (where they film) to New York City (where the story might go).
- Why NYC matters: Dwight was a high-ranking Mafia capo in New York before he was exiled to Oklahoma. Going back = huge story potential.
Important Point
No Official Renewal Yet: While the writers are working, Paramount+ hasn’t formally announced a Season 5 pickup. But Wiseman said, "It could" continue, pointing to their massive slate of Taylor Sheridan shows.
2. Frisco King: The Samuel L. Jackson Spinoff Is a Go
- Who: Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr. (a character introduced in Season 3).
- Where: Texas (originally developed as NOLA King set in New Orleans).
- Writer: Taylor Sheridan (the mastermind behind Yellowstone, Tulsa King, etc.) wrote all 8 episodes himself.
- Status: Confirmed and coming, even as Sheridan prepares to move his overall deal to NBCUniversal. Paramount+ is making sure it gets made first.
Summary: The TL;DR
- Premiere Date: Announcement coming any day now (per Paramount+ boss Jane Wiseman).
- Quality Check: Wiseman calls it "incredible"; Stallone is "in great form."
- Tone: Darker, bloodier, deadlier (per Kevin Pollak: "Violence, death, and Sly").
- Plot: Dwight owes the FBI (Musso) big time; new rivals (English Dan), politicians (Amanda Clark), and a tech billionaire villain (Bradley Van Heusen) arrive.
- Future: Season 5 writers working (possible NYC move); Spinoff Frisco King with Samuel L. Jackson confirmed.
FAQ: Your Burning Questions, Answered
When exactly does Season 4 come out?
We don’t have the exact date yet. Jane Wiseman said Paramount+ is "about to announce" it. Keep an eye on Paramount+’s social media!
Is Sylvester Stallone leaving the show?
No way. Wiseman specifically said Stallone is "in great form" and confirmed "that show is continuing." He’s the heart of the series.
Do I need to watch Yellowstone or other Sheridan shows to understand Tulsa King?
Nope. Tulsa King stands completely on its own. You only need to have watched Seasons 1–3 of Tulsa King itself.
Will Dwight Manfredi go back to New York in Season 4?
Not confirmed for Season 4, but it’s a major discussion point for Season 5. Since Dwight was a NY Mafia boss originally, a return would be a full-circle moment.
What is Frisco King and when is it out?
It’s a spinoff series starring Samuel L. Jackson, set in Texas, written entirely by Taylor Sheridan. No release date yet, but it’s officially in the works and confirmed by Paramount+.
