A minute-long season 4 teaser for "Tulsa King" landed on Paramount+'s social media channels on Sept. 1, captioned "The king returns, but how long will he reign?" The clip opens on Sylvester Stallone's Dwight Manfredi being targeted by someone impersonating a police officer, then moves through a set of escalating confrontations before Stallone closes with the line: "You can't get rid of me." Season 4 premieres on Paramount+ on Oct. 16.

The show tracks Dwight Manfredi, a New York mobster who rebuilt a criminal operation in Tulsa, Oklahoma after 25 years in prison. That operation enters the new season with more reach and sharper exposure. Tensions with Bill Bevilaqua and Quiet Ray run through the teaser. Tyson Mitchell appears to get in over his head, while Mitch Keller and Spencer grow closer. The season's central question, per the production, is how far Dwight will go to protect what he built as pressure from dangerous rivals, law enforcement, and political forces compounds. Shifting alliances and the cost of his ambition leave his empire's future uncertain.

Fan response across YouTube and Instagram arrived quickly. "The King Is Back!!!!" one YouTube commenter wrote. "Sly is back can't wait for this season," another added. On Instagram, a commenter wrote: "DWIGHT AIN'T PLAYING! LESSSS GOOO." A second noted that no one runs an entire city quite like Dwight Manfredi.

Political additions and the pressure they carry

Two confirmed newcomers give season 4's institutional friction a named face. Gretchen Mol joins as Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician. Eden Lee plays Maya, the governor's chief of staff. Both roles push the conflict into governmental territory, a layer that operates differently from the street-level pressure Dwight's Tulsa organization was built to handle.

The returning cast includes Martin Starr as Lawrence "Bodhi" Geigerman, Jay Will as Tyson Mitchell, Garrett Hedlund as Mitch Keller, and Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua. The crew remains loyal going into the season, though the production flags shifting alliances as the variable most likely to cost Dwight.
