Tulsa King Season 3 has returned for a new Season, and it feels like the show has a new mission, as it returns with more of its excellent storytelling and underlying tension. Streaming on Paramount+, the crime drama is a hit with audiences thanks to its blend of character-driven narratives and high-stakes power plays.

Season 3 of Tulsa King has been eagerly anticipated, particularly after the shocking cliffhanger that concluded Season 2, and it had viewers wondering about the fate of Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi. With its compelling depiction of the daily organised crime and colourful characters, Tulsa King takes its narrative ambitions higher than ever.

Written by Taylor Sheridan, who is also the mind behind Yellowstone, Landman, 1983, and Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King is fast becoming one of the most captivating dramas on television. Season 3 introduces a complex tangle of new alliances, betrayals, and rivalries that expand the show’s universe.

Speaking to The Direct, the cast discussed how their characters are dealing with the new season’s chaos. Garrett Hedlund commented on the rekindled romance between Mitch Keller and Cleo Montague (Bella Heathcote), confessing:

"Their history was undeniable for him."

Heathcote added:

"She's very flirty, she's very sassy. She's got a lot of history with [Mitch]. And, you know, she comes to town because her dad's got this distillery that's in trouble, and she wants to help him out, but she very quickly gets sucked back into Mitch’s vortex."

At the same time, Dana Delany spoke about the consequences of the FBI raid in the Season 2 finale for her character Margaret Devereaux, explaining:

"I think she has to decide, ‘Is this the kind of life I want? Is being with Dwight worth all the stuff that goes with being with Dwight? And I think we know what the answer is."

Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a calm but calculating presence who has always teetered on the edge in his rule over Tulsa, anchors the whirlwind. But Tulsa King Season 3 promises to crack even his iron-clad composure. According to the cast, Dwight’s balancing act between loyalty and survival is about to break.

Season 3 brings new heat with the arrival of Robert Patrick’s Jeremiah Dunmire, a cutthroat businessman who poses a threat to Manfredi as Dwight looks to buy a bourbon distillery with personal connections to Mitch Keller. Cleo, the daughter of the distillery owner and Mitch’s ex, is drawn into Manfredi’s world , further complicating loyalties. This venture takes Joanne Manfredi further into Dwight’s world, transforming her from a reluctant family member to a strategic partner.
