Paramount+ announced that November 13 is the official Tulsa King premiere date for the upcoming series starring Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone. The Tulsa King premiere will kick off with a two-episode launch. Creator and Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan serves as executive producer alongside Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Terence Winter (The Sopranos, The Wolf of Wall Street), who will also be at the helm as showrunner and writer. Currently, in production in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Tulsa King is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
The following information hails from Paramount+’s official press release for Tulsa King:
Mirroring the successful 2021 launches of 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown, Paramount Network will air a linear sneak peek of Tulsa King’s debut episode on November 13 as a special simulcast event immediately following the highly anticipated Season 5 premiere of Yellowstone. Similarly, the second episode of Tulsa King will air behind Yellowstone on November 20. All remaining episodes will be available to stream weekly on Sundays exclusively on Paramount+.
Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone) just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 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 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).
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 is a unique project for us at JoBlo, seeing as Sly told us about the show before it was announced. We’ll be watching the development of this project closely and can’t wait to see how it turns out. With the Tulsa King premiere date set for November 13, we still have a way to go before getting an official trailer. Tick-tock, Paramount. We want to see it!
