Paramount+ Crime Drama Series Is The Perfect Binge Before Season 2

For those that don’t know, Tulsa King is a Paramount+ original crime dramedy starring Stallone which originally aired its first season back in 2022. The show, which currently offers only 9 episodes, each roughly 40 minutes in length, has encountered a series of production roadblocks behind the scenes since its first season premiered.

This includes in-fighting between the producers and talent, as well as a change of scenery which will take subsequent production outside of Tulsa, where the narrative will continue to take place.

For starters, Tulsa King co-creators Taylor Sheridan and Terence Winter have had some kind of falling out while working on the series’ second season, resulting in Winter departing the project.

Before taking on showrunner duties for Tulsa King, Winter was primarily known for serving as a producer on The Sopranos before branching off to create the HBO mob drama Boardwalk Empire.

Taylor Sheridan, on the other hand, is known for having penned the screenplay of films such as Sicario and co-creating another major Paramount hit in Yellowstone.

Despite exiting the showrunner role, Terence Winter returned to produce and write for Tulsa King‘s second season, so confusion has only continued to swirl in the minds of fans everywhere.

For now, nobody has any real idea of what season 2 will bring, though many fans are holding out hope that the show will maintain its high watermark of quality. Luckily, we’ll all soon have the chance to find out, once the second season premieres on September 15.

Tulsa King‘s first season has been widely hailed by fans and critics alike, and currently holds a 79 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. The general audience score is even higher, clocking in at a staggering 91 percent. The show features excellent performances from Sylvester Stallone, alongside an ensemble cast which includes Martin Starr, Max Casella, Jay Will, Domenick Lombardozzi, and Andrea Savage.
