First of all, forgive me for being late to the party on this one as my week has been pretty much like my last year…hectic. Well I’m fixing it right now as Paramount Plus dropped an extended trailer for Tulsa King this week which hails from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Starring Sylvester Stallone as an out of place mafia capo who, after being released from prison, is banished to Tulsa but decides to make lemonade out of lemons. Check out Sly in action below!
TULSA KING follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet. The series also stars Andrea Savage (“I’m Sorry”), Martin Starr (“Silicon Valley”), Max Casella (“The Tender Bar”), Domenick Lombardozzi (“The Irishman”), Vincent Piazza (“Boardwalk Empire”), Jay Will (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), A.C. Peterson (“Superman & Lois”) with Garrett Hedlund (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday”).
Yellowstone is one of my favorite series right now as well as it’s subsequent prequel series 1883 so I’m all on board to see what Sheridan and Stallone can cook up for Sly’s first extended foray into television.
The series will be executive-produced by Sheridan, Winter, Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin and Allen Coulter. Braden Aftergood is also set to executive-produce.
Tulsa King hits Paramount Plus exclusively on Paramount Plus on November 13th!
