Sylvester Stallone in Tulsa King
Paramount+

Sylvester Stallone won’t be leaving Tulsa anytime soon. The star of Tulsa King, which is currently airing its second season on Paramount+, recently took to social media to announce that the show’s second season would not be its last. In his post, Stallone thanked the show’s cast, crew, and fans for making it one of the most successful projects in the streaming network’s history.

“I am elated and so proud of our cast because our show has gone up 75% over last year which is unheard of, and Season 2 got 100% on ROTTEN TOMATOES!” he wrote. “Also it’s the second most popular show in the WORLD across all streaming services! Thank you so much, and we are working on the third season at this moment.”

Reporting suggests that Tulsa King has attracted an even bigger audience for its second season than during the first. The second season premiere reportedly garnered 5.4 million viewers during its first seven days on Paramount+, including 2 million who watched the first episode the day it premiered.

In the show’s second season, Stallone’s Dwight is currently working to defend the criminal empire that he’s established in Tulsa on several fronts. The second season is still airing, so we don’t know exactly where Dwight will wind up when all is said and done. In the meantime, though, fans can look forward to the third season and know that we’ll be getting more of Stallone and the rest of the show’s cast in the near future, no matter what happens in season 2.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained
George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow
Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
