TULSA KING HITS PARAMOUNT+ THIS SUMMER
The show became one of the streamer’s most-watched series of all time, ranking only second behind Sheridan’s 1923. The series premiered in November 2022, coupled with NFL on CBS, also set a new record for subscriber growth at the time in a single day since Paramount+’s launch. It was also the most-watched series on the service while in-season. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
The series follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone) after being released from prison after 25 years. He’s been unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up a new shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Seeing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight seeks to build up a “crew” of unlikely characters to establish a new criminal empire that to him might as well be another plant.
The first season also stars Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza, Jay Whill, A.C. Peterson, and Garrett Hedlund. It was created by award-winning writer and Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan, who also executive produces the show with Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Terence Winter. It’s also executive produced by Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Allen Coulter, and Braden Aftergood.
