‘Tulsa King’ Season 3, Episode 1 Pictures Reveal a Dangerous New Villain

‘Tulsa King’ Season 3, Episode 1 Pictures Reveal a Dangerous New Villain

 

The third season of Tulsa King is just days away, and Paramount+ is tempting fans with details and pictures.

A new teaser video finds Dwight “The General” Manfredi up against the established liquor business. The full Season 3 Tulsa King trailer reveals who put Dwight in custody at the end of Season 2.

You’ll get a glimpse of Season 3’s villain and a new friend of Dwight’s in video and pictures shared by Paramount.

Season 3’s villain is named Jeremiah Dunmire, and he’s played by a favorite actor in Taylor Sheridan’s universe. Robert Patrick — Sheriff McDowell in 1923 — got the part. He looks very formidable.

“If you think you’re gonna take me out, it’s gonna be really difficult,” Manfredi tells Dunmire in the teaser clip.

Of course, that’s Sylvester Stallone in the lead role. Life became very complicated for him at the end of Season 2.

 

Find the new trailer below, as well as 10 pictures from Season 3, Ep. 1 of Tulsa King shared with Taste of Country and select media.

When Does Tulsa King Season 3 Begin?

Season 3 of Tulsa King begins on Paramount+ on Sept. 21, with new episodes weekly. If that schedule remains uninterrupted, it will mean the finale airs on either Nov. 16 or Nov. 23.

 

It’s worth noting that a separate Taylor Sheridan show (Landman) is slotted for November. Paramount+ could very well run one into the other.

Tulsa King Season 3 Cast

The primary cast from Season 2 will return. That includes Dwight’s full gang, plus Frank Grillo, who plays Belivaqua.

McDonough’s Cal Thresher is also back in a surprising new role. He’s now the governor of Oklahoma, which should protect him from Dwight’s gang and any other crime syndicate.

Here are the important new cast members for Tulsa King Season 3:

Robert Patrick: The Terminator 2 and 1923 actor will play Jeremiah Dunmire, leader of the Dunmire family, who is enemy No. 1 this season. A photo below shows a very tense meeting.
Samuel L. Jackson: A new Tulsa King spinoff set in New Orleans is going to debut in 2026. It’ll star Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr. During Season 3 we learn Russell and Dwight were prison pals. Keep reading to learn why that gets complicated.
Kevin Pollak: The Usual Suspects actor will play an FBI agent with an ax to grind named Special Agent Musso. During the first two seasons, Dwight’s relationship with the FBI has been complicated. In the trailer it’s revealed he’s responsible for Dwight’s kidnapping at the end of Season 2.
Bella Heathcote: She’ll play Cleo Montague, “a Tulsa native born and raised, and the daughter of a distillery owner.”
James Russo: This is likely another Manfredi antagonist. Russo is going to play Quiet Ray Renzetti during Season 3 of Tulsa King. He’s “one of the mob bosses in New York. He is calm and measured.”
Beau Knapp: The former Seal Team actor will play Cole Dunmire, Jeremiah’s son.

How Did Season 2 of ‘Tulsa King’ End? (Spoiler Alert)

Season 2 of Tulsa King ended with a lot of bloodshed. All of Dwight’s enemies collided at Margaret’s house. Ming was killed. Cal Thrasher is spared. Bill Bevilaqua lives and forms an uneasy peace with Dwight.

Just as viewers thought the Manfredi family were going clean, however, “The General” is kidnapped. He’s ripped out of bed by what look to be federal agents sent to take down … well, that’s not clear, but many people suspect Dwight will be asked to rat out Bevilaqua.

Dwight was kidnapped by law enforcement and told “You work for us now.” It wasn’t clear who the aggressors were but before the credits we saw Dwight being interrogated. This picture indicates there’s more to come.

Of course eventually Dwight will be freed. That’s Tyson (Jay Will) and Bigfoot (Mike “Cash Flo” Walden) flanking him in an elevator. The big bodyguard was a very pleasant addition to Season 2.

The Usual Suspects Appear

Most theories about Season 3 of Tulsa King assume that Dwight is working with the FBI to take down another gangster, perhaps Bill Bevilaqua. This picture supports that. Kevin Pollack will play Special Agent Musso this year.

Martin Starr is Bodhi and Garrett Hedlund stars as Mitch in Tulsa King. The two men are entrepreneurs (a marijuana dispensary and car dealer respectively) but they couldn’t be more emotionally opposite. Who knows what they’re discussing in this picture but both are likely to remain regulars during Season 3.

Dwight’s Sister Returns

Dwight’s sister Joann looks to be sticking around Tulsa for Season 3. That’s actor Annabella Sciorra in the photograph. It’s not clear if Dwight’s daughter Tina (Tatiana Zappardino) is coming back. If you recall she was strongly encouraged to move back to New York City to keep her kids safe. It was a very difficult decision for Dwight to make.

The other woman in Dwight’s life is Margaret (Dana Delany), a ranch owner and horse trainer. She was in bed with Dwight when the feds came and got him. It looks like she’ll stay by his side.

Now this is interesting. It looked like Neal McDonough’s Cal Thresher had been written out of the show at the end of Season 2. He gave up his marijuana business to Dwight and Bill Bevilaqua.
However last May, he revealed he would return. Meet Governor Cal Thresher as he takes a meeting with Dwight and Margaret.

Tulsa King Season 3: Dwight’s New Enemy

Here is Dwight with Season 3 antagonist. Robert Patrick (1923) plays Dunmire, head of the Dunmire family. They’re an old-money family and very dangerous. This meeting appears to be a bit tense, right?

One of these three men is Quiet Ray Renzetti, a New York mob boss said to be “calm and measured.” Actor James Russo landed the part.

Well that really escalated. The context for this tense moment is not clear but the primary actors are Bill Bevilaqua, Mitch, Bodhi and Dwight. Hopefully cooler heads prevail.

Why Is Samuel L. Jackson On Tulsa King?

This is probably the most interesting picture because it speaks to a new Tulsa King spin-off scheduled for 2026.
Samuel L. Jackson will play Russell Lee Washington Jr. who — per Variety — is an old prison friend of Dwight’s that sent to kill him. Instead, Washington is inspired by Dwight, so he decides to go home to New Orleans and set up shop similarly.
Expect Jackson’s appearance to be brief but effective. His purpose on Tulsa King is to set up the new show.

Of all the storylines, the action between Dwight and Tyson seems to be most important. He’s forever trying to keep his chauffeur out of the ugly business of being a mobster but Tyson wants in badly. It’s always felt like only one of them will survive the show.
