Paramount+ has officially set the return date for its hit crime drama, announcing that Season 4 of Tulsa King will premiere on Friday, Oct. 16, 2026. New episodes will drop weekly on Fridays at 12 a.m. PT and 3 a.m. ET, leading up to a 10-episode season finale on Dec. 18. Led by Sylvester Stallone as exiled mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi, the upcoming installment brings heightened stakes as the character fights to protect and legitimize his growing empire against compounding regional threats.
What to Expect in Tulsa King Season 4
According to the official plot description from Paramount+, the new season finds Dwight under intense pressure from corrupt municipal politicians, dangerous new adversaries, and a significant personal loss. While trying to shield his crew and cement his legitimate business operations across Oklahoma-including ventures like his artisanal bourbon distillery and dispensary-Dwight is forced back toward the raw street instincts he left behind in New York.
Series creator and executive producer Taylor Sheridan, alongside returning head writer and executive producer Terence Winter, continue to steer the narrative direction. Winter, who served as showrunner for the acclaimed first season, brings back the sharp dialogue and gritty tension that defined the show’s early run.
