Description: Season 3 of "Tulsa King," premiering September 21 on Paramount Plus, introduces new conflicts and characters, adding tension to Dwight's already complicated life.

Season 3 of Tulsa King is set to premiere on September 21st on Paramount Plus, generating significant buzz thanks to an impressive cast and intriguing plot developments. Sylvester Stallone reprises his role as Dwight Manfredi, the show's central character, alongside new additions that promise to elevate the tension and drama.

Among the newcomers is Robert Patrick, known for his villainous turn in Terminator 2. He plays Jeremiah Dunmier, a formidable liquor businessman whose powerful presence poses a new threat to Dwight. The dynamics between these two characters hint at intense rivalries and conflicts in the upcoming season.

Another exciting addition is Samuel L. Jackson, who enters as Russell L. Washington Jr. This character has a complicated history with Dwight, stemming from their time as prison buddies. While tasked with a mission to kill Dwight, Russell finds himself inspired by the burgeoning Tulsa operation, contemplating his own ventures back in New Orleans. Jackson's involvement not only spices up the narrative but also sets the stage for an upcoming spin-off in 2026.

In addition to these high-profile actors, Kevin Pollock joins the cast as special agent Muso. His character is expected to play a pivotal role, tying into the overarching plot involving federal agencies and their interest in Dwight's operations. This development follows the events of Season 2, which concluded with Dwight being thrust into a precarious position under federal scrutiny.

As Season 3 approaches, the stakes are higher than ever. The climax of the previous season left Dwight under duress and uncertain alliances, with federal agents wanting him to collaborate in their efforts against Kansas City gangster Bill Bellava. Each character’s motivations and loyalties are bound to evolve, raising questions about their survival and the direction of the storyline.

Fans are made curious by the returning faces, including Cal Thresher, portrayed by Neil McDonough, who adds depth to the unfolding saga. His unexpected return signals unresolved tensions and possible alliances within the established order in Tulsa.

The series has faced mixed reviews, particularly after the uneven performance of its second season. While some viewers felt the previous episodes lacked consistency, there remains a strong hope that the upcoming installment will reclaim the momentum established during its first season. As the premiere date approaches, viewers are eager to see how the character arcs develop and whether the narrative can recapture its initial spark.

With ten episodes lined up, spanning from September 21st to November 23rd, Tulsa King fans can look forward to a season filled with drama, conflict, and unexpected twists. The convergence of established characters and new faces promises a refreshing take on the series, setting the stage for an engaging viewing experience.

As anticipation builds, discussions about the show's direction are heating up. How will Dwight navigate his newfound challenges, and what alliances will form in this cutthroat world? Season 3 of Tulsa King has a lot to prove, and it will be fascinating to see how the narrative unfolds amid the complexities of loyalty and betrayal.

[Music] This feels like a real good place to start as we dig into season 3 of Tulsa Inc. You see Dwight, the general man Freddy there. He's played by Sylvester Stallone. Across from him is a well-dressed rancher. And this meeting doesn't exactly look cordial, does it? I mean, dude is given the cold stare right back to Dwight. There's actually a real good reason for this, and Paramount kind of spoiled it. But first, take another look. Actually, all the pictures I'm going to share with you today are provided by Paramount. So, this isn't one of those bait and switch videos that draws you in with a gnarly thumbnail only to speak in generalities and leave you really unsatisfied. Longtime subscribers know we don't do that if I'm going to offer a crazy theory. You'll know it's just a theory. One that we can for sure talk about in the comments section below. The guy sitting across from Dwight is Jeremiah Dunmier and he's a bad bad man played by a very good actor, a famous actor. In fact, he's one of two very famous actors to sign on for season 3. The show really upgraded this year, at least on paper. My jelly roll might have been the biggest celebrity last season, and he only appeared for an episode. Speaking of, I got to go in here and tidy up right quick. >> Are you a singer? You're not going to try singing, are you? >> I mean, how hard can it really be? I did love seeing wrestler Mike Cashflow Walden. And here it's confirmation that he's back, too. But as other Taylor Sheridan shows landed stars like Sam Elliot and Andy Garcia, it kind of felt like Tulsa King was scouting the minor leagues. Not anymore. Robert Patrick plays Dunmier. He was the villain in Terminator 2. And more recently, he was the sheriff in 1923. Expect Dwight and his crew to go after him like they did Ming in season two and like they did that Irish guy who now stars alongside Morris Chestnut on CBS's Watson in season 1. I could never pronounce his name. Deadline and Variety have been ahead of everybody as far as cast updates go and they share that Dun Meyer is a powerful and forceful man with deep pockets in the liquor business. I'm all in on him. But he's not even the most exciting new actor. No, that would be this guy on screen. His name is Russell L. Washington Jr. and he's sent from New Orleans to kill Dwight Manf Freddy. Gasp. The problem is that he and Dwight were prison buddies, and Russ ends up getting inspired by the Tulsa operation to the point that he plans to go back to the Big Easy and set up his own shop. Of course, the actor is Samuel L. Jackson of Pulp Fiction and Capital 1 fame, plus a ton of other memorable movies from my childhood, not the least of which is Snakes on a Plane. Yeah, I watched it. Sam is actually going to star in a Tulsa King spin-off set for 2026. So, the main point of his appearance is to set up that pivot. I think he'll probably appear for an episode, maybe two. There's more. Actor Kevin Pollock has joined season 3 as special agent Muso. He was, of course, a big part of the usual suspects movie, which is somehow 30 years old. Hand me the keys, you >> We're not just going through cast all day here. Although, one character from season 2 is coming back in a way nobody saw coming. We'll get there. I believe special agent Muso sets up a major plot point for season 3. But for that, we have to go back to the end of season 2 to remember how it finished. No move. Dwight was more or less kidnapped in the middle of the night and then he was placed in an interrogation room and told you you work for us now. >> The popular theory is that the feds want Dwight on their side as they try to take down Bill Bellava, the Kansas City gangster that Dwight formed a pretty uneasy piece with in the finale. If you recall, it was Bell of Aqua who killed Dwight's former New York mob boss, Chicky. That wasn't nearly as satisfying a scene as I was hoping for. The Tulsa crew is not aware that Dwight is under the thumb of the FBI. You can see that all of them are back to the new season here. My big bold prediction is that one of them won't survive the season. Who? Yeah, I got nothing. Maybe Mitch, if only because aside from acting and looking super cool, it's not really clear what his job is. That's just a guess. Let me know what your takeaways are from all these pictures. I think Tyson is the second most important character on this show, and you see him here doing the Lord's work. In a lot of ways, this is the story of an old head teaching the next generation how business gets done. To me, that plotline is more important than any of the subplots, including Dwight's relationship with Margaret, seen here with hold the phone, Cal Thresher is back. I figured he'd leave town, but the truth couldn't be further away. I actually had a chance to talk with Neil Mcdana earlier this year about his new movie, The Last Rodeo, plus his time on Yellowstone and Tulsa King for a new episode of the Dutton Rules podcast. He also explained how he was invited back for season 3 of Tulsa King to play Governor Cal Thresher. Did not see that coming. There is one other antagonist to look out for, but honestly, I'm really having a hard time figuring out how big of a role he plays. This guy in the center is actor James Russo playing quiet Ray Renzetti, a New York mob boss said to be calm and measured. Yeah, probably not for long because of this picture. Tulsa King season 3 is set for a premiere on Paramount Plus on September 21st. And if it's like season 2, it'll be 10 episodes wrapping up on November 23rd, which totally makes sense because there's another Paramount Plus show created by Taylor Sheridan that's set to debut in late November. I'm talking about season 2 of Land Man. I definitely anticipate some cross promotion between these two shows. The conversation that I'd really like to begin with you now is how do you feel about season 3 after a second season that was uneven? Honestly, at times it felt like the cast and the writers were sort of just boning it in or maybe they just didn't click. Am I wrong? Did it end strong enough for you to come back full throttle? Comment below and let's keep it civil. I did love season 1 and I'm hopeful that season 3 can come back just as strong. quietly. I'm worried that season 2 of Land Man may also suffer, but that's a new video. I'm Billy Dukes for Taste of Country. Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing.
