Samuel L. Jackson Joins Sylvester Stallone in ‘Tulsa King’ Season 3 Trailer

Another season of Tulsa King is near.

On Tuesday, Paramount+ released the official trailer for the upcoming third season of the Sylvester Stallone-led crime series. And in this season, Samuel L. Jackson is introduced to the cast, playing a character named Russell Lee Washington Jr.

The trailer begins with Kevin Pollak’s Special Agent Musso, saying to Dwight Manfredi (Stallone): “What do you want from me?” to which Musso responds: “I own you, General.” Also introduced is the new castmember, Jeremiah Dunmire (Robert Patrick), a powerful person in the liquor business.

Here is the logline: “As Dwight’s (Stallone) empire expands, so do his enemies and the risks to his crew. Now, he faces his most dangerous adversaries in Tulsa yet: the Dunmires, a powerful old-money family that doesn’t play by old-world rules, forcing Dwight to fight for everything he’s built and protect his family.”

The third season comes off the success of season two, which drew in 21.1 million global viewers. Tulsa King was the No. 1 global Paramount+ original series in 2024. The show follows mafia capo, Dwight, 25 years after he’s released from prison, building a new crew after realizing his mob family doesn’t have his best interests.

Toward the end of the trailer, Dwight says to Russell as he approaches him in a bar: “Is that a ghost?,” to which Russell responds: “I bet ain’t nobody seen that coming.” Jackson’s Russell is also set to lead his own spinoff series, NOLA King.  

Martin Starr, Jay Will, Annabella Sciorra, Neal McDonough, Robert Patrick, Beau Knapp, Bella Heathcote, Chris Caldovino, McKenna Quigley Harrington, Mike “Cash Flo” Walden, Kevin Pollak, Vincent Piazza, Frank Grillo, Michael Beach, James Russo, Garrett Hedlund and Dana Delany round out the cast.

Dave Erickson is the showrunner. MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios produce the series. Taylor Sheridan, Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Jim McKay, Sheri Elwood, Ildy Modrovich and Keith Co serve as executive producers.

Season three will premiere on Sept. 21.
