Tulsa King Season 4 remains a criminally entertaining brass-knuckle comedy that knows exactly what it is and what it isn’t. The series has grown more serious, shedding old characters and bringing in new ones. Still, it never mistakes itself for prestige television, embracing its pulpy absurdity, wisecracking humor, and old-fashioned gangster charm with unapologetic confidence.
Taylor Sheridan lays the creative foundation, while former The Sopranos writer Terence Winter brings his distinctive dialogue, streetwise humor, and endearing wisecracks. The series thrives on two distinct creative voices: Sheridan’s storytelling sensibilities and Winter’s knack for colorful, character-driven dialogue that is funny, thrilling, and addictive.

And while this new season may indulge in oddball guest stars and out-of-place stunt casting, including Pat McAfee and Flula Borg, its irreverent charm, mafioso machismo, and brass-knuckle attitude remain firmly intact.
The story picks up where Season 3 left off: Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) has the world by a piece of al dente spaghetti. Dwight has his hands in the bourbon business, his hooks in the new governor, Cal Turner (Captain America: The First Avenger’s Neal McDonough), and his heart in Margaret (Dana Delany), his lady love.
Season 4 thrives on its new characters beyond the stunt casting. There’s Gretchen Mol as a Tulsa politician who doesn’t look kindly on Manfredi’s connection to the governor. And while Dwight’s past rivals have been more comedic, the fiercest threat to The General’s power comes from Donnie Brasco’s James Russo, who owns the screen like a deranged rhino: abrasive, psychotic, and without an ounce of restraint.

The show is almost paternal, in a way. Just as Tony Soprano uses the people closest to him, Stallone mentors his Tulsa pawns to become the best criminals they can be. Martin Starr returns as Bodhi, the brains of the operation, deadpan, but always the voice of reason. Jay Will, a Juilliard-trained actor, returns as Tyson, who uses some of his god-given musical abilities from his rap persona.
And while Will is an undeniable musical talent, incorporating his abilities into the storyline feels somewhat contrived. Yet not nearly as much as the dinosaur-bone discovery on the horse ranch. Most of these subplots involving supporting characters provide the series with refreshingly oddball, eclectic comic relief. The sheer absurdity of these scenes, like the dumb-and-dumber pairing of Vincent Piazz’s Vince nd Chris Caldovino’s Goodie, is oddly endearing.
Garrett Hedlund also brings considerable star power and charisma, so much so that I think he’s on the verge of getting his own Tulsa King spinoff. Then there are times when the series struggles to write itself out of corners, like Kevin Pollock’s Musso and Frank Grillo‘s Bill Bevilaqua, who feel like the writers didn’t know what to do with them for most of the season.

While I will always see the series as a comedy, it’s become increasingly clear that Winter has strengthened Paramount+‘s ambitions for the series as a crime drama. The fourth season remains criminally entertaining. After all, the series thrives on its eccentric supporting cast, irreverent humor, and the sheer star wattage of Stallone, who has made the show something entirely his own.
After four seasons, all that gangster goodness remains firmly intact. Just sit back and watch an organized crime series that began as a fish-out-of-water comedy with a featherlight touch transform its characters from Revenge of the Nerds into The Dirty Dozen, with spectacular results. Infectious, rollicking, and wildly entertaining, Tulsa King proves that sometimes you can’t choose your family, but you can certainly make one.
Season 4 of Tulsa King premieres on Friday, October 16, 2026, exclusively on Paramount+, and concludes with its final episode on Friday, December 18, 2026. We screened all ten episodes for this review.
