One of his hit shows is Tulsa King, and it stars the iconic actor Sylvester Stallone as Dwight “The General” Manfredi.
Tulsa King follows Stallone’s character, Dwight, as he brings classic Italian mob culture and tropes into 21st century Tulsa, Oklahoma.
After being released from prison, Dwight returns to his mob family expecting a warm welcome since he never ratted on them or turned them into the authorities. Dwight was serving a long stint in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
Instead of rewarding him for his loyalty and time, the mob shipped him off to Tulsa, Oklahoma. He quickly became the “Tulsa King” by recruiting a group of misfits and creating his own version of the mob in Oklahoma.
This newfound mob family encounters many obstacles with the law and other crime syndicates throughout the series.
To fans’ delight, the show was greenlit for a third season and began filming in March. Watch a brief clip from Tulsa King below.
