Paramount+ has renewed Sylvester Stallone's mob drama Tulsa King for Season 5 before Season 4 even premieres on October 16, Variety reported. Production is already underway in New York City after relocating from Atlanta, marking a major shift that aligns with the show's storyline as protagonist Dwight Manfredi returns to his mafia roots.
The renewal comes as the show adds four series regulars to its cast, while Scarlet Rose Stallone—who plays Spencer—has been promoted to series regular. CBR noted the move represents a major reset for the crime drama as it enters its fifth season.
Why Tulsa King Moved From Atlanta to New York
The relocation makes narrative sense: Dwight's journey in Season 4 involves legitimizing his criminal empire while reconnecting with his New York mob family roots. Variety reported that budget improvements through New York's enhanced film tax-credit program played a key role in the decision. The tax incentives made New York a more cost-friendly production location than Atlanta.
Stallone's New Deal Secures Early Renewal
Sylvester Stallone's newly signed contract reportedly helped secure the Season 5 renewal before Season 4's premiere. Variety revealed that writers had already opened a room for Season 5 planning back in June, signaling confidence in the show's future. The early renewal is unusual for streaming platforms and reflects strong performance expectations.
New Cast Members Join as Series Regulars
Four actors are joining Tulsa King as series regulars: Erik Palladino, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Skordi, and Nickola Shreli. These additions support the expanded scope of Season 5 as the show moves to New York and deepens Dwight's connections to his original mob family.
Season 4 Sets Up Stakes for Dwight's Legitimacy Plan
Season 4 follows Dwight as he pursues a federal liquor license deal with Musso in exchange for information from Deacon—an effort to go legitimate. However, pressure mounts from his original mob family, rivals, and law enforcement, creating conflict that will carry into Season 5. Screen Rant noted the show has had behind-the-scenes changes, with Terence Winter departing as showrunner and Dave Erickson taking over.
