TULSA KING follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing 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 series also stars Andrea Savage (“I’m Sorry“), Martin Starr (“Silicon Valley“), Max Casella (“The Tender Bar“), Domenick Lombardozzi (“The Irishman“), Vincent Piazza (“Boardwalk Empire“), Jay Will (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel“), A.C. Peterson (“Superman & Lois“) with Garrett Hedlund (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday“).
The series will be executive-produced by Sheridan, Winter, Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, and Allen Coulter. Braden Aftergood is also set to executive-produce.
TULSA KING is the latest addition to Sheridan’s growing slate on Paramount+, which includes 1883, MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN, and the upcoming series LIONESS, 1883: THE BASS REEVES STORY, LAND MAN, and 1932 (WT).
