Media outlets are reporting that crime drama series Tulsa King has been renewed for a second season.

.

The official synopsis for the series is as follows:

Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi, just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Realising that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.

.

The renewal comes after the first three episodes of the series have aired on the streaming service. Tanya Giles, Chief Programming Officer at Paramount Streaming, released a statement saying:

With the combination of the incomparable Sylvester Stallone and Taylor Sheridan’s darkly comedic twist on the beloved mobster genre, we have found our latest hit in Tulsa King. The series’ premiere on Paramount+ helped drive a record sign-up day fueled by our unique ability as Paramount Global to tap into Paramount Network’s incredible Yellowstone audience.

CEO of 101 Studios, David Glasser, also released a statement saying:

We could not be more excited about the success of Tulsa King. It’s a fun, fresh show that audiences are truly embracing in no small part because of its star, Sylvester Stallone.  We are thankful to Chris McCarthy and MTV Entertainment Studios for their continued support, and we are looking forward to getting back on set for Season 2.

The series is created by Taylor Sheridan, written by Terence Winter, who also serves as showrunner, and stars Sylvester Stallone, Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza, Jay Will, A.C. Peterson, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany and Annabella Sciorra.
