Tulsa King fans have been left clamouring for the next series following the airing of the jaw-dropping cliffhanger in the season two finale on Sunday.

The crime comedy-drama stars Sylvester Stallone as Dwight ‘The General’ Manfredi, an American capo from New York who has just been released from prison after serving a 25-year stretch.

His boss send him to Oklahoma, where he builds a new criminal empire with a group of unlikely characters, while dealing with his personal issues and evading law enforcement.

After debuting on Paramount+ in November 2022, the second series premiered in September this year, and wrapped up on Sunday night.

The explosive finale saw Domenick Lombardozzi’s Chickie Invernizzi murdered by antagonist Bill Bevilaqua (Frank Grillo) in a shocking twist.

Chickie had been tasked with getting Dwight to come back to New York with him, and after being refused, met with Bevilaqua to arrange a deal.

His fellow stars have also hinted towards Tulsa King’s future, with Max Casella, who plays Armand Truisi, recently teasing: ‘Events in the season 2 finale might suggest a direction for the next chapter.’

While Tatiana Zappardino, who plays Dwight’s daughter Tina, told RadioTimes.com that the production team are keeping hold of the studio space where they film in Atlanta.

She said: ‘It’s still held. All the sets are held, so I feel like they want to jump into a season 3. But you have to wait for the numbers to come back in. 

‘Apparently the numbers are good and people are liking the show, so I have no doubt there’s going to be a season 3.’
