Alongside Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan is bringing back his mob drama starring Sylvester Stallone with Tulsa King Season 2 – here’s everything we know, from release window to cast details and more.
The popular TV series centers on Dwight Manfredi (Stallone), a loyal member of the New York mob who did his time. As things have changed on the outside, he’s sent to Tulsa to establish some groundwork there and looks to set up his empire in his newfound home.
Season 1 of the Taylor Sheridan show has its fill of drama as Dwight begins to distance himself from his former mob family, developing a connection to Tulsa. While pursuing business ventures, he finds himself in a heated rivalry with the local biker gang and the ATF.
The last fans saw Dwight, he was getting taken away in handcuffs by the ATF just as his casino business opened. More drama will ensue in Tulsa King Season 2, so here’s what you need to know. (Warning: Spoilers ahead for Tulsa King Season 1!)
Tulsa King Season 2 release date
Tulsa King Season 2 will be released on Paramount+ on September 15, 2024. The release date announcement came via a June 26 report from Variety.
Stallone had previously confirmed a release window in May, taking to Instagram to say it’s a “fantastic follow-up to the first season” and that the second season will be “coming out in early fall.”
Paramount+ gave Tulsa King Season 2 the greenlight back in November 2022 after the debut chapter turned out to be a ratings success. Production started in April 2024, with filming taking place in Oklahoma and Atlanta.
Tulsa King Season 2: What will it be about?
There hasn’t been an official storyline synopsis from Paramount+ about Tulsa King Season 2. But the cliffhanger finale will have to be addressed in the new season. We know Season 2 will deal with Dwight’s arrest, as Stallone revealed on Instagram that Dwight would be defending himself.
At the end of Season 1, ATF agent Stacy decides to backstab Dwight and use the flash drive he gave her as evidence against him. The flash drive has access to their million-dollar account and proves Dwight’s use of bribery.
Season 2 will likely begin with the aftermath of the arrest and the legal battle to prove Dwight’s supposed innocence. Not to mention, Stacy will have to answer for her betrayal and Dwight’s team managing without him.
Let’s not forget that Dwight is still on the Italian mob’s bad side. He firmly established he was done working for them and had set up his own loyal crew in Tulsa.
There’s also the added detail of Goodie deciding to stay with Dwight, severing his ties to the mob. Chickie will likely look to harm Dwight, as he took over the mob after killing his father.

The second season will also see how Dwight’s daughter, Tina, deals with his arrest. A big part of Dwight’s story was trying to reconcile with his daughter after having left when he was arrested. The pair were finally on good terms, but this might not be the case after the events of Tulsa King Season 1.
An official logline for Season 2 from Paramount doesn’t offer much detail but does hint that Dwight will have to contend with affairs back home. The logline reads: “Dwight struggles to keep his family and crew safe while keeping track of all his affairs. Plus, he still has unfinished business back in New York.”
