Tulsa King season 3 is wrapping up with a highly anticipated finale teasing where Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) and his crew are going next.
Paramount+ is set to drop the Tulsa King season 3 finale on Sunday, November 23. Titled “Jesus Lizard,” the episode will follow Dwight and the gang as they “gear up for all-out war,” the streaming service’s official logline reads. However, it seems there’s a new threat on the horizon.
The entire season followed Dwight joining the liquor business while subsequently going up against Robert Patrick’s terrifying new character, Jeremiah Dunmire.
Stallone, 79, told Us Weekly exclusively in September that his real-life history with Patrick, 67, made it “easier” for them to go up against each other on screen.
“Because we know each other, we can speak in shorthand,” Stallone said. “Robert is one of these actors — which I love — he doesn’t always walk around angry in the mood, winding himself up.”
As the man behind Yellowstone and its myriad spinoffs, Taylor Sheridan is one of the most important people at Paramount Network — but the Yellowstone universe is only one part of his empire. While other super-producers — Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes, for example — enlist other writers and directors to work on projects bearing […]
Stallone said his costar was “fantastic” throughout the season.
Season 3 also followed Neal McDonough’s Cal Thresher going from villain to politician (although some might say those are interchangeable terms). He teased the upcoming finale to Us last month.
“Wait until the final speech of season 3,” the actor, 59, said, noting that he “got emotional” during his character’s final moment, which “just makes me smile.”
“The director is like, ‘I don’t think you can do that, you’re Cal Thresher.’ I’m like, ‘Well, isn’t that more the reason why I should?’ He is completely misunderstood,” McDonough said. “I don’t want anyone thinking that Cal Thresher is one way when he might be a completely different way.”
A third story line that’s almost wrapped up has to do with the authorities. Viewers know that the feds played an interesting role throughout season 3, as Kevin Pollak’s Agent Musso essentially used Dwight to do his bidding. Dwight made it clear that he’s done with Musso — but that might not be the case.
Earlier this season, Frank Grillo’s character, Bill Bevilaqua, was taken into federal custody by Musso, and no one has heard from him since. Grillo, 60, told Us exclusively earlier this month that there were originally no plans to bring him back.
“It was going to be it for me. It was my swan song,” the actor shared. “[My] last episode, I was like, ‘Hey, guys, it’s been great. This has been fun.’ I love Sly. I don’t think it’s any secret how much I love Sylvester Stallone.”
Stallone called and told Grillo that they needed him for the upcoming fourth season.
“Before he got the words out of his mouth, I went, ‘Yep, if the band’s getting back together, I’m in,’” the actor shared. “If it’ll make him happy, me being there, then I go. I want that guy to be as happy as he could be.”
As for what fans can expect as the show continues? There’s not much Grillo can share as of now.
“I’d like to see a little bit of [revenge], but there’s very little I know or I can say. I know bits and pieces, but it’s going to be a bumpy road for the crew in Tulsa,” he said. “But I’m in for the long haul this season.”
The Tulsa King season 3 finale hits Paramount+ on Sunday, November 23.
