What's Brewing in Tulsa King Season 2?
We got some pretty exciting news for fans of the Paramount+ series, Tulsa King! It's all about the second season, which was given the go-ahead almost as soon as the show aired its first episode. The series, from the mind of Taylor Sheridan, is hitting the right notes, and we're all eager to see what's coming next.
Behind the Scenes of Tulsa King
So, who's pulling the strings? In season one, the boss was Terence Winter. You might recognize his name from Boardwalk Empire or The Sopranos. But, there were some creative differences between him and Sheridan. Don't worry though, Winter is still on board as an executive producer.
Remember, this happened back in 2023, and it seems the dust has settled. Winter stepped back into the writing role in February 2024, now working independently from Sheridan. And guess what? The man in charge of the daily show operations is Craig Zisk.
The Storyline and Characters
Tulsa King revolves around Dwight “The General” Manfredi. He's a Mafia guy who's just been released from prison. Dwight is in Tulsa, Oklahoma, trying to build a crime organization and fix things with his daughter, Tina. If you folllowed season one, the big questions for season two are about Dwight and Stacy's relationship and Chickie's plans for revenge against Dwight.
New Filming Location
The team wasn't really digging Oklahoma as a shooting location. So, for season two, they moved operations to Atlanta. Sure, the story is technically set in Tulsa, but Atlanta's studios offer more resources and talent opportunities for the show.
Who's Calling the Shots?
The directors for season two are still a bit of a mystery. It's entirely possible that Craig Zisk might take the steering wheel for a couple of episodes. Expect to see familiar faces from season one like Lodge Kerrigan, Guy Ferland, Ben Semanoff, and Allen Coulter.
Fresh Faces in the Cast
Most favorites from season one will be back including Andrea Savage, Jay Will, and Martin Starr. Newcomers for season two include Annabella Sciorra, Tatiana Zappardino, and Frank Grillo. Major heads-up for all you Grillo fans out there. He'll be playing Bill Bevilaqua, a mobster from Kansas City who's gonna make Dwight's life a bit more complicated.
Can't Wait to Watch?
The good news is, you won't have to wait long! Filming kicked off on April 1st, 2024, and Sly Stallone gave us the deets on his Instagram page. Get excited because September 15th is the big day.
