The second episode of Tulsa King Season 4, titled “Blind Rooster,” premieres on Friday, October 23, 2026, exclusively on Paramount+ at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET. This follows a shocking season premiere that disrupted protagonist Dwight “The General” Manfredi’s efforts to legitimize his expanding criminal empire. Episode 2 promises to explore the fallout from a tragic plane crash involving Dwight’s girlfriend, Margaret Devereaux, alongside new tensions within his crew and rival factions. The show’s weekly Friday release schedule includes ten episodes, with the season finale set for December 18, 2026.
Season 4 continues to track Dwight’s climb as he moves from criminal activities toward legitimate business, particularly focusing on his bourbon enterprise. However, increased success makes him a bigger target for enemies, including New York mobster Quiet Ray Renzetti, who remains a persistent threat. The season introduces notable additions to the cast such as Gretchen Mol as Tulsa politician Amanda Clark, and maintains the involvement of key characters like Martin Starr’s Bodhi, Jay Will’s Tyson, and Neal McDonough’s Cal Thresher. Terence Winter serves as the head writer and executive producer, bringing his expertise from acclaimed shows like The Sopranos.
The premiere episode “W.W.D.D.” set a darker and more personal tone with the sudden loss suffered by Dwight, marking a departure from the series’ usual lighter mob-comedy style. The tragic death of Dwight’s girlfriend and associate in a plane crash challenges the protagonist’s attempts to find normalcy beyond the mobster lifestyle. Fans have expressed mixed reactions, particularly toward storyline developments involving Tyson. Despite this, Tulsa King retains solid ratings and continues to balance Sylvester Stallone’s gruff charisma with the show’s blend of crime drama and dark humor.
Looking ahead, Paramount+ has already renewed Tulsa King for a fifth season, signaling strong confidence in the series. Season 5 will shift production back to New York, reconnecting Dwight to his mafia roots and expanding the cast to include Erik Palladino, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Skordi, and Nickola Shreli. Production is underway, though no premiere date has been announced. The first three seasons are available for streaming on Paramount+, while Season 4 is unfolding weekly on the platform, keeping fans engaged with new twists and escalating conflicts.
