Fifth season confirmed for Tulsa King
Tulsa King has been officially renewed for a fifth season, even though the fourth season has not yet begun its broadcast. Paramount+ intends to continue the series, largely due to the notoriety of its main actor, Sylvester Stallone.Fifth season's new setting
The fifth season will follow the story of Dwight Manfredi, a New York mobster released after a heavy prison sentence for a crime he admitted to. His loyalty leads to his banishment from his clan, who send him to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he prepares his revenge by building his own criminal empire.Filming location changes
The first four seasons of the show were filmed in the Atlanta area, Georgia, rather than in Oklahoma, due to lower tax rates. The fifth season, whose filming has just begun, will be shot in New York, where the main plot of the show will now take place.Actor praises the change
This change is appreciated by Garrett Hedlund, who plays Mitch Keller, a bar owner and former convict promoted to Dwight Manfredi's right-hand man. In an interview with ScreenRant, Hedlund highlighted that the change will allow the main writer of Tulsa King, Terence Winter, "to play at home."New York as a creative influence
Winter is known for setting the action of The Wolf of Wall Street and many scenes of his series Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos in New York. He described the city as "both a kid in a candy shop and a kid in a playground," emphasizing that it is his world.Shift suggests series nearing end
The shift of the plot to New York suggests that the broadcast is approaching its end. Returning to his city, Dwight Manfredi will face his former associates directly and may take power to enforce his rule from New York to Tulsa. The fourth season of Tulsa King is available starting October 16 exclusively on Paramount+.
