Tulsa King Season 4 Premieres 16 October on Paramount+, Then Weekly

Tulsa King returns for a fourth season on Friday, 16 October, streaming on Paramount+, and new episodes will follow weekly rather than dropping as a single batch. That means the premiere is one episode, not a binge, and the season will run into the back half of the year.

The date landed alongside a first teaser and a set of new images. The teaser is short on plot: Sylvester Stallone's Dwight Manfredi is tailed by a police car and returns fire. The official season description says Dwight "fights to legitimize his empire and protect his crew as corrupt politicians, dangerous new enemies, and a crushing personal loss hit from every direction."

What is the Tulsa King season 4 release date, exactly?

Friday, 16 October 2026, on Paramount+ in the US. Weekly episodes follow. What has not been announced is the episode count, the finale date, or the exact hour episodes go live — the streamer named the premiere day and stopped there. Anything circulating with a precise finale date is working backwards from an episode count nobody has published.

If you are catching up first, seasons one through three are already on the service. That is a fair amount of runway before October, and it is the same catalogue you would use to rewatch the season three ending before the new run starts.

Which Paramount+ plan do you need?

Paramount+ splits its US subscriptions into a cheaper ad-supported Essential tier and a higher premium tier, and some titles — the Showtime-branded ones in particular — are locked to the premium plan. That is the trap that catches people with shows like Yellowjackets. Tulsa King is a Paramount+ original rather than a Showtime title, and the streamer has not flagged any tier restriction on the season four premiere. Plans and prices vary by country, so check the plan page for your market instead of assuming the US setup applies.

Who is in season four?

Stallone returns as Dwight, with the core crew intact:

• Martin Starr, Jay Will, Vincent Piazza, Annabella Sciorra and Chris Caldovino return
• Gretchen Mol joins as a new series regular
• Kevin Pollak, James Russo, Mike "Cash Flo" Walden and McKenna Quigley Harrington are also listed
• Terence Winter is head writer and executive producer; Taylor Sheridan remains an executive producer

Is this the last season?

Not according to anything on the record. Paramount+ has not announced season four as the final one, and no cancellation has been confirmed. Some coverage has read the season description's "crushing personal loss" as a sign of an ending, but that is interpretation, not an announcement. Treat a series finale as unconfirmed until the streamer says otherwise.

What about the Samuel L. Jackson spinoff?

The spinoff is real and it is called Frisco King. Jackson plays Russell Lee Washington Jr., the character introduced in Tulsa King season three, who relocates to Frisco, Texas. Sheridan is writing all eight episodes of the first season, filming ran in the Fort Worth area from spring 2026, and the show has moved into post-production. There is still no announced premiere date; the expectation is 2027, and it will stream on Paramount+ when it arrives.

Watching on a phone

Weekly releases change how you watch. A single episode a week is the format that suits a phone or tablet far better than a ten-hour drop does, and it makes the download-for-offline option worth setting up before a commute rather than after. If you subscribe on Android, note that billing through the Play Store and billing direct through the streamer are separate — cancelling one does not cancel the other, which is the most common reason people find themselves paying twice.
