Streaming service Paramount+ has renewed the crime drama series Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone, for a fifth season. The announcement comes ten days ahead of the show's fourth season premiere on October 16, 2026.
Production for the fifth season will move from the state of Georgia to New York, aligning with the upcoming storyline, according to Variety. Stallone portrays Dwight "The General" Manfredi, a New York mafia boss who was ousted by his former superiors and established his own criminal empire in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In the fifth season, Manfredi will return to his mob roots in New York.
The relocation also carries a practical financial incentive. Recent improvements to the tax incentive system in New York State have made it one of the most profitable locations in the world for film production, drawing numerous television and film projects.
New cast members and series regulars
The fifth season will introduce several new actors to the cast. Eric Palladino, known for I Play Rocky, Glenn Fleshler of Billions, Anthony Skordi of The Last Ship, and Nicola Shreli of Power Book IV: Force are joining the production.
Stallone's daughter, Scarlet Rose Stallone, has also been promoted to a permanent main cast member. She has played Spencer, a subordinate of the main character, across all four seasons of the series.
Stallone, who built a renowned Hollywood career starring in hit film franchises including Rocky, Creed, Rambo, The Expendables, and Guardians of the Galaxy, leads the television project for Paramount+.
Release schedule and audience ratings
Before work on the fifth season begins, the fourth season of Tulsa King will premiere on October 16, 2026. The season will consist of ten episodes, which will be released one per week.
The series continues to hold strong ratings across major review platforms. On IMDb, Tulsa King has an overall rating of 7.9 out of 10 points. Rotten Tomatoes records an 87 percent approval rating from critics and a 76 percent score from audience members.
On Metacritic, film critics gave the series a score of 66 out of 100 points, while the general audience rated it 7.2 out of 10 points. Both Metacritic scores fall into the category of generally favorable reviews.
