The much-anticipated teaser for the second season of Tulsa King, starring Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone, was released on Wednesday.
Fans can mark their calendars for September 15, the premiere date of this gripping crime drama’s return, as reported by Variety.
In Tulsa King, Stallone reprises his role as Dwight Manfredi, a former mob boss who relocates to Oklahoma to establish a new crime empire. The teaser opens with Manfredi’s bold declaration, “Tulsa belongs to me now. I don’t answer to any man,” setting the tone for the intense power struggles that await in the new season.
The series is penned by Terence Winter, with an impressive lineup of executive producers including Taylor Sheridan, Craig Zisk, Sylvester Stallone, Braden Aftergood, and Keith Cox. The second season promises to delve deeper into the complexities of building a criminal empire in Tulsa.
According to the official description, “Dwight and his crew continue to build up and defend their growing empire in Tulsa, but just as they get their bearings, they realize that they’re not the only ones who want to stake their claim. With looming threats from the Kansas City mob and a very powerful local businessman, Dwight struggles to keep his family and crew safe while keeping track of all his affairs. Plus, he still has unfinished business back in New York.”
The production of Tulsa King’s second season faced several challenges, including the departure of showrunner Terence Winter due to reported clashes with producer Taylor Sheridan. However, Winter returned to the project, with Craig Zisk stepping in to handle production duties.
The show also faced controversy surrounding Stallone, who was accused of creating a toxic environment on set. Several staff members alleged that Stallone made derogatory comments about their appearance. Despite these issues, the show has continued to move forward with its star-studded cast.
In addition to Stallone, the ensemble cast of Tulsa King season 2 includes Martin Starr, Jay Will, Max Casella, Vincent Piazza, Tatiana Zappardino, Annabella Sciorra, Neal McDonough, Frank Grillo, Domenick Lombardozzi, Garrett Hedlund, and Dana Delany.
As fans eagerly await the new season, the teaser promises a thrilling continuation of Dwight Manfredi’s quest for dominance in the world of organized crime.
