The decision to shift production to New York for Season 5 is driven by the evolving storyline, which aims to delve deeper into Dwight Manfredi's storied mafia roots. This move promises to immerse audiences further into the world that shaped 'The General' before his forced relocation to Oklahoma.
Sylvester Stallone, whose involvement is central to the series' success, recently finalized a new deal, paving the way for the fifth season's greenlight. His continued commitment ensures that fans will see more of the tough-as-nails capo navigating new challenges.
Adding to the excitement, Scarlet Rose Stallone, who portrays Spencer, will see her role expanded, earning a promotion to series regular for Season 5. She will be joined by a host of new faces, with Erik Palladino (I Play Rocky), Glenn Fleshler (Billions), Anthony Skordi (The Last Frontier), and Nickola Shreli (Power Book IV: Force) all signing on as new series regulars. Details regarding their characters are currently being kept under wraps.
Drew Brown, EVP, Physical Production, Paramount Television Studios, expressed enthusiasm for the series' future and its new home. "We are thrilled to bring fans even more of this incredible series, and to be shooting the next season of Tulsa King in New York, where Dwight Manfredi’s story will continue to evolve," Brown stated, also acknowledging the production's successful run in Georgia. The Empire State is equally eager to host the production, with Hope Knight, Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner, remarking, "We’re excited to welcome the cast and crew of Tulsa King to New York State for its fifth season."
While production for Season 5 ramps up in New York, viewers can look forward to Season 4, which premieres on October 16. The upcoming season will follow Dwight as he strives to legitimize his burgeoning empire and protect his crew amidst new threats from corrupt politicians and dangerous adversaries, all while grappling with a profound personal loss. This journey will force Dwight to confront harsh truths about loyalty, leadership, and the true cost of ambition, pulling him deeper into the street instincts he thought he had left behind in New York.
Season 4 will feature a robust cast alongside Stallone, including Martin Starr, Jay Will, Vincent Piazza, Annabella Sciorra, Chris Caldovino, McKenna Quigley Harrington, Frank Grillo, Mike “Cash Flo” Walden, James Russo, Kevin Pollak, Neal McDonough, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany, and Gretchen Mol, who joins as a series regular. The series is executive produced by a team including Terence Winter, Taylor Sheridan, Sylvester Stallone, and David C. Glasser, and is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios.
