Garrison will soon appear in the upcoming series Tulsa King. The Sylvester Stallone led crime thriller is getting a new cast member. This transition displays how Sheridan's shows are interconnected.

Carney's death takes place in Mayor of Kingstown season 4, episode 2, with Cortez responsible for the death of the character. This was an unexpected and brutal moment that Garrison himself did not see it coming. The actor received a phone call during the summer from the show's executive producer. These calls are always nerve-racking for performers. They could mean either good news or bad news.

While speaking with TV Insider about his character's demise, Garrison shared his reaction:

"I didn't either I was a little shocked I got a call this past summer from the executive producer, which is always that weird call It's like, you're either getting called up to the major leagues, or it's, "You're cut, and we're sending you to Triple-A, and you're never gonna make it in the majors." And so I picked it up, and then they're like, "We've got good news and we have bad news The bad news is we're killing you." Like, "What's the good news?" "We're gonna find something for you in Tulsa King."

The death eliminated a crucial ally from Mike McLusky's group. This will have consequences for the series's future. Mike has lost someone he depends on completely.


What role will Lane Garrison play in Tulsa King?

The information about Garrison's Tulsa King character remains a secret. The producer has not yet revealed anything. But Garrison has one crucial condition. He wants his new character to survive. The performer is done with dying on screen. This would be his 17th on screen death. That is a lot of death sequences for any actor.

Mayor of Kingstown is not the only connection Taylor Sheridan has to Garrison. He appeared in four episodes of the second season of Yellowstone. Now, he is adding Tulsa King to his catalog. Lane Garrison is excited about teaming up with Michael Beach again. Beach also features in both series and the two actors have become good friends.

When asked about his new role, Garrison explained:

"Well, no, I don't know yet They just told me that, and I don't know… but I'm hoping so, because I would love to go see Michael Beach, who rolled over from our show to that, and he was one of my favorite people I've ever worked with So I don't know, maybe I get a call from there, or Landman or somewhere, but I'm not going to die on the next one I'm going to tell them, "If I die, I'm not doing it." This was like my 16th or 17th on-screen death."

When will Lane Garrison show up in Tulsa King?

The fourth season of Tulsa King has already been renewed. That is where Lane Garrison will make his debut. The third season is currently releasing new episodes. Therefore, fans will have to wait a while, but Mayor of Kingstown audiences will not miss him for long once he appears in his new role.

Garrison joins several performers who have appeared in multpile Sheridan displays, including James Jordan, Matt Gerald, Dawn Olivieri, and Nichole Galicia. These actors have been in at least three Sheridan shows each. This displays Sheridan's loyalty to his performers. He likes working with the same faces.


What comes next for Taylor Sheridan's universe?

Taylor Sheridan is moving to NBC Universal. However, this will not happen immediately. His Paramount deal continues through 2028, after which his NBC tie up will commence, in 2029. He is committed to creating 20 series for Peacock. This translates to more opportunities for performers like Garrison.

Mayor of Kingstown continues to surprise audiences with eccentric choices. Killing Carney was dangerous but effective. Mayor of Kingstown is not afraid to lose crucial characters. This keeps the drama unpredictable and intense.

Garrison's journey from one Sheridan series to another proves these productions share a connected universe.
