Sylvester Stallone stars in the Paramount+ crime drama Tulsa King, which returns with its hotly anticipated third season on September 21

TV fans are counting down the days until the release of the hotly anticipated third season of Tulsa King, the Sylvester Stallone-starring crime drama about a New York mafia capo who, after 25 years in prison, is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, by his boss. The drama, which viewers have hailed as “epic” and has already been renewed for a fourth season, returns to screens on September 21, with the addition of Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson.

It’s no wonder fans love Tulsa King. The show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, the creative mind behind Yellowstone and Landman, knows how to make binge-worthy television. Plus, with Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone at the helm, and Samuel L. Jackson joining the cast, the series certainly has enough star power to pull in viewers. Bring on the new season!
