Paramount+ has finally confirmed a release date for Tulsa King Season 4, and the gap between seasons is the real story. The fourth season debuts Friday, October 16 on the streamer.
The news arrives alongside Paramount+’s “Peak Screaming Collection,” a Halloween-themed promotion that highlights the streamer’s horror catalog. That collection includes the Scream franchise, Pet Sematary, Smile 2, A Quiet Place, and the Dakota Fanning-led original Vicious. Horror fans will also find 28 Weeks Later, Drag Me to Hell, Parasite, It Follows, and more joining the platform in October.
The third season finale aired all the way back in November 2025, meaning viewers have waited nearly a year for new episodes.
The Premiere Date
Friday, October 16 is the day. That is when Tulsa King Season 4 drops on Paramount+.
The fourth season brings back Stallone as Dwight, the mob boss turned Tulsa kingpin. The cast also includes Martin Starr, Jay Will, Vincent Piazza, Annabella Sciorra, Chris Caldovino, McKenna Quigley Harrington, Frank Grillo, Mike “Cash Flo” Walden, James Russo, Kevin Pollak, Neal McDonough, Garrett Hedlund, Gretchen Mol, Eden Lee, and Dana Delany.
The Showrunner Change
Terence Winter is back as head writer and executive producer. Dave Erickson, who served as showrunner for Season 3, has exited the series.
What The Story Promises
Per Paramount+, Season 4 finds Dwight fighting to legitimize his empire and protect his crew. Corrupt politicians, dangerous new enemies, and a crushing personal loss hit him from every direction.
Each gain comes with harder truths, according to the synopsis. The show explores loyalty, leadership, and the cost of ambition, dragging Dwight deeper into street instincts he left behind in New York. Tulsa becomes a battleground, and Dwight becomes the one threat no one can afford to underestimate.
How To Watch
The first three seasons of Tulsa King are available to stream on Paramount+. The streamer offers two subscription plans:
- Essential ($8.99/month with ads)
- Premium ($13.99/month without ads, plus Showtime titles and live CBS)
New subscribers can start with a seven-day free trial on the Premium plan. You can also add Paramount+ to your Hulu or Amazon accounts for $13.99/month, each with their own free trial for new subscribers.
The Gap Between Seasons
The timing is a bit odd. A horror collection promoting horror titles arrives alongside the confirmation of a crime drama premiere. Viewers have waited nearly a year for new episodes.
