1 May 2025

Tulsa King S2

After being released from prison after 25 years, New York mafia capo Dwight ‘The General’ Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Realising that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight set out to establish a new criminal empire - in a place that might as well be another planet.

In his first TV lead role, Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone (aka Rocky Balboa) stars as Manfredi - a role that’s already earned him a Critics Choice Super Awards nomination for Best Actor in an Action Series.

Created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone), Tulsa King’s first season was nominated for an Emmy for its stunt coordination, as well as Best Action Series at the Critics Choice Super Awards. With a rare 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 was up for Best Action/Thriller Series at the 2025 Saturn Awards, as voted by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.

Season 2’s first episode became the most-watched global premiere ever on Paramount+, with Tulsa King ranking as a Nielsen Top 10 streaming title throughout its US run.

Frank Grillo (Boss Level, Peacemaker) joins the cast this season as Kansas City mob boss Bill Bevilaqua. Also look out for Critics Choice nominee Neal McDonough (DC’s Damien Darhk, and Marvel’s Dum Dum Dugan), Emmy winner Dana Delany (Katherine in Desperate Housewives), Emmy nominee Annabella Sciorra (Gloria Trillo in The Sopranos), and Stallone’s daughter, Scarlet Rose Stallone.
