Tulsa King
season 3 gets a new update from Martin Starr, who reveals when the season starts filming. Created by Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan, the hit Paramount+ crime drama series premiered in 2022. Sylvester Stallone leads the show’s strong cast as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, returning in September 2024 for the show’s second outing. Stallone teased on social media that same month that Tulsa King season 3 was in the works, later confirming the news in December.
Starr, who plays Dwight’s business partner, Bodhi, on the show, now reveals to Collider that Tulsa King season 3 is set to begin filming in the very near future. “I mean, I’ve only just read the first two scripts,” Starr says. “We start production next week.” After being pressed for more info on the scripts he’s read, Starr teases some of what’s to come from the new episodes:
“I can’t tell you anything that I’ve read in those episodes, but I am excited. This new season is going to be a lot of fun. It looks already like there’s going to be a lot of action, and there are some loose ends that may or may not get tied up.”
What Starr’s Update Means For Tulsa King Season 3
When The New Season Could Arrive On Paramount+
Though Tulsa King season 3 doesn’t yet have a confirmed release date, the production schedule for season 2 provides a fairly strong indication of when the new episodes could premiere. An Instagram post from Stallone revealed that season 2 wrapped filming in August 2024, with the season then premiering the next month. It’s not clear when the 10-episode season 2 started filming, but it was likely spring 2024. If season 3 follows this same schedule, audiences can expect The General’s next outing to arrive in fall 2025.

8 Biggest Questions Tulsa King Season 3 Must Answer
The cliffhanger ending of Tulsa King season 2 left several questions unanswered, and season 3 needs to resolve these eight as soon as it starts.
Starr’s comment also teases some of what’s to come from season 3. The Tulsa King season 2 ending concludes some storylines while keeping some open-ended, and it sounds like some answers could arrive in the first two episodes of season 3. Season 3 could, for example, explore what Cal Thresher (Neal McDonough) does with his freedom after Dwight surprisingly lets him live. The biggest question heading into season 3, however, is just who kidnapped Dwight in the finale’s final moments, declaring that he now works for them.

The Paramount Show Bucks A Recent TV Trend
One of the benefits of telling a relatively straightforward story with minimal visual effects is that the turnaround time between seasons is shorter. Many streaming shows, such as Stranger Things, for example, features multiple years between seasons. If it weren’t for the dual strikes of 2023, Tulsa King season 2 may have arrived one year after season 1. If the Paramount show does return later this year, audiences will have minimal downtime between seasons, keeping interest high.
Variety reported in November 2024 that Stallone was nearing a deal not just for season 3, but for Tulsa King season 4. An official season 4 announcement hasn’t yet been released.
Judging from Stallone’s activity on social media during past seasons, it’s likely that fans of the show can expect some posts from the actor in the weeks ahead. At some point during filming, he is sure to provide a first look at Dwight’s return, and maybe others in the Tulsa King cast as well, which could potentially unveil more story clues. It remains to be seen what will happen in Tulsa King season 3, but the wait for new episodes evidently may not be that long.
