How to watch Tulsa King in order

Tulsa King is the Paramount+ crime comedy-drama that sends New York mob boss Dwight 'The General' Manfredi to set up operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma — a fish-out-of-water story with Sylvester Stallone delivering a career highlight performance.

Created by Taylor Sheridan and Terence Winter, Tulsa King premiered on Paramount+ in 2022. Sylvester Stallone — in his first-ever lead television role — plays Dwight Manfredi, a New York mafia capo just released after 25 years in prison, exiled by his boss to Tulsa, Oklahoma. What could have been a one-note comedy becomes a surprisingly rich character study as Dwight builds an unlikely crew of local misfits and rediscovers who he is outside of the only world he's ever known.

🕐 Release Order

Tulsa King is a single sequential series. Watch from Season 1 for the full experience.

  1. Tulsa King — Season 1 (2022–2023)
  2. Tulsa King — Season 2 (2024)
  3. Tulsa King — Season 3 (2025)

The show exists within the broader Taylor Sheridan universe (alongside Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, and others) but shares no direct crossovers — it can be enjoyed completely independently.

📖 Story Chronology

Story chronology is identical to release order. The narrative follows Dwight's story in a linear fashion from his release from prison through his establishment in Tulsa.

  1. Tulsa King Season 1 (Dwight's arrival in Tulsa, building his operation from scratch)
  2. Tulsa King Season 2 (escalating conflict and deeper roots in Tulsa)
  3. Tulsa King Season 3 (further expansion of Dwight's Tulsa empire)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with Season 1 and watch straight through. Tulsa King is an accessible, entertaining show that requires no prior knowledge of any other Sheridan series. The central pleasure is watching Stallone — gruff, funny, and unexpectedly touching — navigate a world completely foreign to him. The supporting cast, particularly the misfits Dwight recruits into his operation, grows in depth and importance with each season. If you enjoy Taylor Sheridan's brand of rugged American drama with a darkly comedic twist, Tulsa King is essential viewing.
