Taylor Sheridan's returning show is already a favorite.

Tulsa King season 4 has earned a glowing early review from Paramount+ EVP & Head of Originals Jane Wiseman, who teases the excitement to come. Tulsa King season 4 marks the next chapter of Sheridan's comedic crime drama starring Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi, a former member of the Mafia who carves out his own business dealings in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Season 4 began filming in November 2025, but the show hasn't announced a release date for its return yet. It's also one of Paramount+'s most reliable success stories among Sheridan's ongoing TV shows.

Speaking with Deadline, Wiseman hinted at what to expect from Tulsa King season 4, revealing the premiere date is set to be announced soon. The Head of Originals praised Stallone for his performance, while also seemingly confirming there are no plans for the show to end anytime soon. This statement comes after it was confirmed another popular Sheridan show, Mayor of Kingstown, will be ending with season 5, which is also set to be released in the near future.

See what Wiseman had to say below:

We’re about to announce the premiere date for Tulsa King Season 4, that one is coming out. 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.

As of writing, very few story details for season 4 have been confirmed. However, Tulsa King's cast is set to expand with the arrival of Gretchen Mol as Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician who will be a main character in the upcoming batch of episodes. A new recurring character, Maya, will also be introduced, portrayed by Eden Lee. Although there's only sparse information about the upcoming episodes, it seems like, based on Wiseman's statement, it'll be one of the most memorable of the show. And, potentially, not its last.

Dwight talking to someone in Tulsa King season 3, episode 10

Tulsa King's continuation on Paramount+ comes as the series lays the groundwork for a major expansion moving forward. A spinoff titled Frisco King began filming in March 2026, with Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Russell Lee Washington Jr. from season 3 of the main show. All episodes of the spinoff are written by Taylor Sheridan, while the main show retains the writers' room approach from previous seasons. Terrance Winter returns as the head writer for Tulsa King, specifically at Stallone's request, with season 4 consisting of 10 episodes.

Season 4 hasn't been without some controversy, though, with 26 crew members getting fired before filming began. This includes Stallone's stunt double and stunt coordinator, Freddie Poole, who'd been working with the actor for fourteen years at the time. The shake-up and behind-the-scenes changes are likely to be reflected in the show itself, including the approach of those who've stayed on the series. But, according to Wiseman, the show is getting stronger, even after the success of its first three seasons.

Despite the shake-up, it seems like Tulsa King season 4 is poised to impress with a new story that continues Dwight's tale of expanding his reach across Tulsa even further. With a release date likely to be announced in the near future, it won't be long before it becomes apparent how big the next chapter of the show will be, and what it means for the series going forward.
