In the near future, Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi will once return every week when Tulsa King Season 2 welcomes everyone with a Paramount+ subscription back into the show's version of the Oklahoman metropolis and all its dynamic characters, crimes, and an engaging story about a mob boss getting a new lease on life.
Nearly two years after Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, longtime Sopranos writer Terence Winter, and Stallone, one of biggest box office draws of all time, came together for one of the most popular Parmount+ original series, they’re all coming back with more in store for fans. That said, we’ve put together a quick yet comprehensive breakdown of everything we know about Tulsa King Season 2, including its premiere date, cast, and so much more.
What Is The Tulsa King Season 2 Premiere Date?
It’s only a matter of weeks, and not months, until we get to see what’s next for Dwight “The General” Manfredi, as Paramount+ has announced that Sylvester Stallone’s record-breaking streaming series will return on Sunday, September 15, 2024. The streamer has announced how many episodes will make up the sophomore effort at this time, but we can expect to see new installments each Sunday based on the rollout for the show’s first season.
There also hasn’t been any word on whether or not Tulsa King Season 2 will eventually find its way to CBS like the first season, which aired as part of the network’s summer TV lineup in July and August 2024.
The Tulsa King Season 2 Cast
Paramount+ has announced that when the show debuts in fall 2024, we’ll see quite a few familiar faces, including Sylvester Stallone, who leads the Tulsa King Season 2 cast. But that’s not all, as there are some new additions to the much-anticipated crime show. Let’s meet everyone now:
Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi
Sylvester Stallone will be returning as Dwight “The General” Manfredi when the show comes back around. He’ll be in a complicated spot considering everything that went down in the Tulsa King Season 1 finale.
Andrea Savage as Stacy Beale
Andrea Savage, who played Dwight’s love interest and ATF Agent Stacy Beale, will be back again for the show’s second season, which should be really interesting after her big decision in Season 1.
Martin Starr as Lawrence "Bodhi" Geigerman
Martin Starr, who showed up in the first season as Lawrence “Bodhi” Geigerman, will once again be hanging around Tulsa, as the enterprising weed dealer is set to return.
Jay Will as Tyson Mitchell
Jay Will’s Tyson Mitchell, who became Dwight’s personal driver and close ally after the capo set up shop in Tulsa, is also set to return for a second round of action.
Max Casella as Armand "Manny" Truisi
Armand “Manny” Truisi, the mafioso played by Max Casella in the show’s first season, will be a part of the next installment. Only this time, he’ll be working alongside Dwight instead of against him.
Domenick Lombardozzi as Don Charles "Chickie" Invernizzi
Domenick Lombardozzi, who played the vindictive Don Charles "Chickie" Invernizzi on Tulsa King, will once again be a proverbial thorn in Dwight’s side, as The Wire alum is making a return.
Garrett Hedlund as Mitch Keller
If you want to see more of Garett Hedlund’s Mitch Keller, you’re in for a treat, as the bar owner is coming back for more.
Dana Delany as Margaret Devereaux
Dana Delany will be back in the fold as Margaret Devereaux, the owner of Fennario horse ranch.
Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher
Neal McDonough, who’s starred in movies and shows like Captain America: The First Avenger and Band of Brothers, is one of the new additions to the cast. According to Variety, he’ll be playing Tulsa businessman Cal Thresher.
Rich Ting as Jackie Ming
Rich Ting, who starred on Cinemax/Max’s Warrior, is another new addition to the Tulsa King cast. According to Deadline, he’ll be playing a quiet yet ambitious man named Jackie Ming.
Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua
Frank Grillo, who’s appeared in everything from Captain America: The Winter Soldier to The Grey, will show up in the new season as Kansas City mobster Bill Bevilaqua, according to Deadline.
What Is Tulsa King Season 2 About?
When Tulsa King Season 2 premieres this fall, it will see Dwight and his crew trying to grow their fledgling criminal empire deep in the heart of Oklahoma. Paramount+ has announced that not only will the gang have to combat local business interests for a slice of the pie, they’ll also be dealing with a powerful crime outfit based out of Kansas City, which should make things even more complicated.
But that isn’t all “The General” will be going up against, as Andrea Savage, who plays ATF Agent Stacy Beale, previously hinted at a “collision course” between her character and Dwight while chatting with CinemaBlend, stating:
I think she's kind of on a journey of waking up and going, ‘Listen, maybe I made mistakes, but now I'm standing here, and if any of those changed, I wouldn't maybe be here.’ She also is an alcoholic. She's not making the smartest choices all of the time. She's kind of just hanging on and surviving. … The way (the season) ends, it does seem like they are on a collision course of two people who made choices to survive, and pissed off the wrong two people.
With a tease like that, it sounds like Tulsa King Season 2 is going to be just as intense, if not more, than what we’ve seen in the past.
The Tulsa King Season 2 Trailer
In June 2024, Paramount+ released the Tulsa King Season 2 teaser trailer to get fans all hyped up for the show’s return this fall. Despite clocking in at 30 seconds in length, this short video packed quite a punch with its introductions for new characters and appearances by some oh-so-familiar faces.
Interestingly enough, the teaser also showed Dwight Manfredi behind bars cracking jokes and making wisecracks to the guards. It doesn’t appear he’ll spend the entire season in the slammer as several shots of him interacting with folks on the outside are sprinkled in throughout.
What Happened In Tulsa King Season 1?
Before jumping into Tulsa King Season 2 this fall, you’ll probably want to get all caught up with how things shook out at the end of the first season back in January 2023. During the Tusla King Season 1 finale, we learned of the decision that sent Dwight Manfredi to prison all those years ago, tied up loose ends with the likes of biker gang head honcho Caolan Waltrip (Ritchie Coster), and witnessed one of the most emotional scenes of the series so far.
Of course, we’re referring to Stacy Beale deciding to turn Dwight over to the authorities in the final minutes of the finale, which is probably why we see Sylvester Stallone’s character behind bars in the Season 2 trailer.
Despite Initially Leaving The Series, Terence Winter Is Back On Board As A Writer
Terence Winter, the Primetime Emmy Award-winning writer and producer of shows like The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, served as the showrunner for Tulsa King, but left the series after its first season. Well, according to Deadline, Winter is back in the fold, just not as the showrunner the second time around. Instead, he’ll be on board as a writer and executive producer alongside Taylor Sheridan and others.
Though there won’t be a new showrunner taking Winter’s place, Craig Zisk, best known for his work on Weeds and The Larry Sanders Show, has been brought on to direct the series, Paramount+ announced.
Production On Tulsa King Season 2 Wrapped In August 2024
With it being so close to the Tulsa King Season 2 premiere, it should be no surprise that Sylvester Stallone and company have already tied a bow on production. In August 2024, the Rocky legend took to his Instagram to share that shooting had wrapped, around four months after things got started.
Is There A Chance We’ll See Tulsa King Spinoffs?
Considering the success of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, which has already released two spinoffs, with more on the way, as well as the popularity the Stallone-led series has experienced thus far, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for the Tulsa King universe to see some expansion in the coming years. And, it seems top brass at Paramount+ are already looking to make that a reality.
When speaking with IndieWire at TCA in early January 2023, Paramount Global Chief Programming Officer Tanay Giles explained that anything was possible, saying the company was open to the possibility of expansion, stating:
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. More to come there.
How Paramount will handle this expansion of the Tulsa-Verse (no one is calling it that but me) is anyone’s guess, but there are plenty of stories worth exploring, including something about Dwight’s past.
Expect to hear much more about Tulsa King Season 2 in the future, but in the meantime, don’t miss out on any of the other great action on the small screen by checking out our 2024 TV schedule.
