Tulsa King Season 3 Hype: Stallone Stakes a New Empire and the Free-Watching Twist Fans Need to Know

Elena West here, and get ready to hear a victory cheer for your streaming lineup. This is your moment to dive into the firestorm surrounding Tulsa King Season 3 as Paramount+ rolls out a high-stakes chapter that expands Dwight “The General” Manfredi’s Tulsa empire while dialing up danger and drama. The big news lands with Season 3 set to debut, bringing more of Stallone’s magnetic glare, returning cast members, and a fresh celestial twist that has fans buzzing about what Dwight will do next. Let’s unpack the essentials like a game plan for greatness, because this season doesn’t just continue a story—it broadens a universe.

First, a reminder of the stage: Tulsa King lives within Paramount+’s expansive Taylor Sheridan ecosystem, the same universe that houses 1923, Landman, Lioness, and Mayor of Kingstown. The third season hits the service with the same punchy premise that made the show a breakout hit, and it carries the weight of being Paramount+’s most-watched original worldwide last year. That success isn’t just a statistic; it’s a loud siren that says fans want more Dwight, more Tulsa grit, and more of the unexpected alliances this world shines a light on. The show’s narrative arc in Season 3 centers on expansion and escalation. Dwight’s criminal empire isn’t just growing; it’s drawing sharper, more dangerous enemies into the orbit, including the Dunmires. This old-money family skirts conventional rules and forces Dwight to adjust his playbook to keep his crew safe and his operations legal only on a map he controls.

Season 3 also signals new firepower in the cast. Samuel L. Jackson steps into the spotlight as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a move that signals both a storytelling pivot and a cross-promotional moment with Jackson’s own superhero-tinged energy. He’s already announced to launch a new spin-off, NOLA King, on Paramount+ as part of this sprawling universe. The dynamic between Stallone’s imposing presence and Jackson’s sharp command promises a new flavor of conflict—one that fans have craved since Dwight’s world first opened in Tulsa.

For the scheduling and viewing logistics, Season 3 is configured for a weekly drip: ten episodes over the season, with new installments rolling out once a week. The premiere is slated for September 21, with new episodes typically landing on Paramount+ around midnight Eastern Time (9 p.m. Pacific) on Sundays. That cadence keeps anticipation high and chatter loud across social feeds, as fans and critics alike track Dwight’s strategic moves as he faces the Dunmires and an array of rival factions.

Prices and access information are straightforward but worth noting for cord-cutters and bargain hunters. Tulsa King remains an original on Paramount+ and isn’t aired on CBS or Paramount Network. If you subscribe, you’ve got access to the broader Paramount+ catalog plus the latest Dwight-driven thrill ride. There are two plan options: an ad-supported plan at $7.99 per month and an ad-free plan at $12.99 per month. For those looking to test the waters, Amazon Prime Video Channels offers a seven-day free trial that includes access to the latest episodes, a tempting entry point for the curious who want to sample before committing.

Beyond the pulse of plot and pricing, this season’s stakes feel more personal than ever. Dwight is pressed to defend his family and empire against a ruthless ecosystem that refuses to bend. The Dunmires, with their old-world grip, aren’t merely antagonists; they’re test prompts for Dwight’s leadership, loyalty, and the limits of his new Tulsa throne. The show isn’t merely a crime saga; it’s a character study in resilience, strategic thinking, and the power of calculated risk.

What’s next after this season’s premiere? The kickoff seals a broader arc that promises more alliances, more jaw-dropping twists, and a deeper dive into how far Dwight will go to preserve what he’s built. With Samuel L. Jackson amplifying the intrigue and the return of key players, Tulsa King Season 3 might redefine what a crime drama on streaming can deliver. The question fans are asking now is simple: can Dwight outmaneuver the Dunmires and cement his Tulsa legend once and for all? Stay tuned, because the next episodes are shaping up to reveal the blueprint of a king’s next move.
