Sylvester Stallone Returns for Fifth Season of Tulsa King
Paramount+ has officially renewed Tulsa King for a fifth season ahead of the fourth-season premiere scheduled for October 16, 2026, Deadline and Variety reported. Production on the upcoming episodes is already underway in New York, shifting locations away from Atlanta to support a narrative focus on Dwight Manfredi’s historical New York mafia roots.
The early pickup follows a new agreement finalized by star Sylvester Stallone, matching the production patterns established for the show’s third and fourth seasons. While the fourth season debuts on October 16, 2026, Paramount+ has not yet released a premiere date or episode count for the newly confirmed fifth season.
Production Relocation and New Cast Additions
Paramount Television Studios clarified that the relocation serves the narrative rather than marking a permanent departure from Georgia.
Alongside Stallone’s return as Manfredi, the fifth season introduces expanded roles across the cast. Scarlet Rose Stallone, who appeared in prior seasons as Spencer, joins the main cast as a series regular. Four additional actors join her as regular cast members: Erik Palladino, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Skordi, and Nickola Shreli. Character details for the four incoming actors remain unannounced by the network.
Dwight faces corrupt politicians in season four
Before the fifth season airs, the fourth season will launch on October 16, 2026, following Dwight as he attempts to legitimize his criminal empire while contending with corrupt politicians, fresh adversaries, and a significant personal loss. The fourth-season ensemble features Martin Starr, Jay Will, Vincent Piazza, Annabella Sciorra, Chris Caldovino, Frank Grillo, James Russo, Kevin Pollak, Neal McDonough, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany, and Gretchen Mol as a series regular.
Terence Winter continues his work as head writer and executive producer. Taylor Sheridan executive produces alongside Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Thomas Kelly, and Keith Cox. Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios handle production for the series, which also expands via a planned spin-off titled Frisco King starring Samuel L. Jackson.
