Paramount+ has officially set the stage for Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi to face his biggest fight in Tulsa King Season 3, dropping the first trailer and announcing a Sunday, September 21 premiere date.

The new footage teases a bloody collision course between Dwight’s growing empire and the Dunmires, an entrenched Tulsa dynasty whose wealth and influence run deeper than anything the New York mobster has encountered. “They don’t play by old-world rules,” the synopsis warns — and the trailer makes it clear that these new adversaries have no intention of letting Dwight settle in comfortably.

The release caps off a dominant year for Tulsa King, which became the #1 global Paramount+ Original Series of 2024 and broke into the top ten across all streaming platforms in Q4.

Paramount+ has dropped the first teaser trailer for “Tulsa King” Season 3.

In the teaser, Dwight (Sylvester Stallone) becomes interested in a distillery business. But from the look of things, his competition takes none too kindly to Dwight and his crew moving into their territory.

Even though viewers had to wait almost two years in between Tulsa King season 1 and 2, there's a much shorter wait this time around. It's been less than a year since the hit Paramount+ crime drama from Taylor Sheridan wrapped its second season, but we're already gearing up for a new season that's officially been set for release this fall.

Back in May, we learned that Paramount+ was planning to release Tulsa King season 3 in September 2025, and that's exactly when new episodes will begin streaming. On July 31, Paramount+ announced that Tulsa King season 3 premieres on Sunday, Sept. 21. See, that's not very far away! We'll be diving back into this wild world before we know it.

Reader, you have been lied to! Film history is littered with unfairly maligned classics, whether critics were too eager to review the making of rather than the finished product, or they suffered from underwhelming ad campaigns or general disinterest. Let’s revise our takes on some of these films from wrongheaded to the correct opinion.

When Paramount released “We’re No Angels” as its 1989 Christmas movie (and final film of the decade), reviews were mixed and the box office weak. Hard as it may be to believe in the post-“Fockers” era, audiences just weren’t interested in seeing Robert De Niro in a broad comedy, even (especially?) one co-starring Sean Penn and written by David Mamet.

As years passed, the movie’s reputation never really improved, with even its makers acknowledging its flaws. In his 2023 Hollywood memoir, “Everywhere an Oink Oink,” Mamet blamed director Neil Jordan for ruining his script...

Sylvester Stallone has found one of his most successful TV roles in Tulsa King, a show quietly climbing the global streaming charts. It is not part of the Yellowstone universe, but comes from the same creative mind of Taylor Sheridan.

While Yellowstone holds strong, Tulsa King has taken its own lane, landing in the top 10 global charts on Paramount+, with fans from all over tuning in. As of July 11, 2025, it’s sitting at #8, not far behind Yellowstone at #3. At the top of the list are South Park and Mobland, while Blue Bloods, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and SpongeBob SquarePants also hold strong (per Flixpatrol).

Sylvester Stallone Plays A Mafia Boss

The series kicked off back in 2022 with Stallone playing Dwight “The General” Manfredi,...

Sylvester Stallone made his debut as a leading actor in a scripted television series in 2022 with Taylor Sheridan's Tulsa King. The series received positive reviews and was renewed for Season 2 and later for Season 3.

Production on Season 3 began in March 2025, with Stallone keeping fans updated via his social media account. The upcoming Season 3's pilot will be directed by Jim McKay, and brings back Stallone as Dwight "the General" Manfredi. On Jul. 1, Stallone gave an exciting filming update on Instagram, revealing that Season 3 has wrapped filming and teased exciting details about the show's future.

"Hello everyone, today is the last day of filming on Tulsa King," Stallone shares in the clip. "All good things must come to an end. But we're really happy with the show this season, a lot of surprises."

The actor didn't forget to show...

Eli Roth, the horror filmmaker most famous for movies like Cabin Fever and Thanksgiving, has decided to give underrated filmmaker Joe Begos a chance to play his latest film on the big screen. The movie is titled Jimmy & Stiggs, and upon a screening, Roth was so impressed that he made it a personal mission to plan a theatrical release. The Hostel director says that Jimmy & Stiggs stands out because it "has such life, and it is going to mess some people up."

Judging by Begos' previous filmography, Roth may have a strong point, as Jimmy & Stiggs is the latest in a career filled with horror entries so graphic that they're too intense for those with a weak stomach. Per the report by IndieWire, the duo was present at a Q&a session after an early screening of Jimmy & Stiggs. The event was the result of Roth's...

Season 3 of the crime drama Tulsa King is on its way, and series star and Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone shared a new look on his Instagram.

Stallone took to Instagram last week to share a behind-the-scenes image from Tulsa King Season 3. The image features Stallone as Dwight "The General" Manfredi with his wrists restrained with zip ties. The post is captioned, "Things are getting nasty in Tulsa!"

View this post on InstagramA post shared by Sly Stallone (@officialslystallone)

In the comments section of the post, one of the series' newest cast members, Kevin Pollak, said, "Hey! I'm in that scene! #spoileralert." While what's happening in the image is vague, Pollak is entering the series as FBI Special Agent Musso. Some fans suspect the scene is a continuation of Season 2's cliffhanger, where Dwight was taken into custody by a group of masked men.

Changes to Season 3

With Season 2's success,...

Coming soon from the man behind Bliss, Vfw, and Christmas, Bloody Christmas is Jimmy and Stiggs, a neon-soaked extraterrestrial experience stuffed to the gills with gore and gnarly practical effects. Written and directed by Joe Begos, this labor of love was shot over four years and, according to the trailer, on over 50,000 feet of 16mm film in Begos’ apartment. It’s also the first film being released under Eli Roth’s new horror label, The Horror Section.

The plot synopsis reads:

A shitstorm of bad news sends out of work filmmaker Jimmy spiraling into an out of control bender in which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing they’ll come back, he contacts his old friend Stiggs to help him gear up for war.

Now, get a taste for Begos’ punk rock nightmare:

Begos stars as Jimmy, with Matt Mercer playing Stiggs. Riley Dandy, Josh Ethier, and...

The Sylvester Stallone-led crime drama Tulsa King received an exciting release update earlier this week, with a release date earlier than expected. Now, Stallone treated fans to a sneak peek of the popular series.

The Taylor Sheridan universe is thriving, with many non-Yellowstone creations getting their time to shine. Stallone's Tulsa King is one of them, which has recently set a release date for September 2025. To celebrate the recent good news, Stallone also treated his followers to a glimpse at The General with a post on Instagram.

View this post on InstagramA post shared by Sly Stallone (@officialslystallone)

"Another day on Tulsa King!" the actor wrote, wearing a bronze three-piece suit with brown leather George Cleverley shoes and smoking a cigar next to a gas station. The post also featured a behind-the-scenes rehearsal of Stallone testing his fighting skills as his stunt double, Freddie Poole, was nearby wearing a similar outfit without the jacket.

Sylvester Stallone might have a new title as President Trump's "special ambassador to Hollywood," but he's still sitting on the throne as the "Tulsa King." Yes, the Paramount+ juggernaut, one in a long line of Taylor Sheridan produced series, will be returning for a third season.

It makes sense that actor turned prolific TV creative has been able to create so many of these shows (considering he wrote the "Tulsa King" pilot in less than 24 hours), and yet, despite the quick script, some say "Tulsa King" may be Sheridan's best work (or at least the most entertaining of the bunch). The tale of Dwight "The General" Manfredi (Stallone) and rise from exiled New York mafia soldier to kingpin of Tulsa, Oklahoma has produced some of the funniest, strangest characters in the entire Sheridan universe. It has also helped turn the show into a hit for Paramount+, which has...

According to Variety, Kevin Pollack has joined the cast of Tulsa King season 3. He is set to appear as a series regular playing Special Agent Musso. His character has been described as “an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.”

The casting news comes after the third season of Paramount+’s Tulsa King went into production in Atlanta and Oklahoma in March. Pollack is a well-respected stand-up comedian and actor. His roles include playing Moishe in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and appearing in Martin Scorsese’s Casino and A Few Good Men.

Pollack will join Sylvester Stallone and a stellar cast, which includes Frank Grillo, Garrett Hedlund, and Dana Delany. Pollack isn’t the only new cast member for the upcoming series of Tulsa King. Bella Heathcote is also set to join season 3, playing Cleo Montague, described as “a Tulsa native born and raised, and the daughter of a distillery owner,...

The Usual Suspects and Grumpy Old Men actor Kevin Pollak is heading to Tulsa, and he’s not looking to make friends. According to Variety, Kevin Pollak will join the Tulsa King Season 3 cast as Special Agent Musso, “an FBI agent with an axe to grind.”

The second season of Tulsa King ended on November 17, 2024, with some big plot threads wrapped up and other cliffhangers dangling. In the finale, Dwight had a final showdown with nemesis Cal Thresher (Neal McDonough), but let his adversary live. After Cal attempted to destroy Dwight by fixing his trial or attacking his wind farm, it was an intriguing development for the mobster to let his foe remain alive. It was also a wise decision, as the death of a prominent businessman would not have been easy to hide. Meanwhile, Dwight makes an unexpected friend out of Bill Bevilacqua (Frank Grillo), another enemy he must face.

One of TV’s most versatile funnymen is heading to the world of mobsters and misfits. Kevin Pollak, best known for playing Moishe Maisel on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, has officially joined Season 3 of Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King on Paramount+ as a series regular, Variety is reporting this morning. Pollak is going to be playing Special Agent Musso, described as “an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.” If that sounds like trouble for Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi… it probably is.

Production on Tulsa King Season 3 began back in March in Atlanta and Oklahoma, with Stallone returning to lead the cast as Dwight, the exiled New York mobster-turned-Oklahoma crime lord. Pollak joins a stacked ensemble that includes returning stars Martin Starr, Jay Will, Annabella Sciorra, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany, Vincent Piazza, Neal McDonough, and Robert Patrick, alongside newcomers like Frank Grillo, Michael Beach, James Russo,...

Johnny Depp was once one of Hollywood's biggest and most versatile stars, appearing in both blockbusters and true-crime dramas. The American actor gained global superstardom for portraying the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in five Pirates of the Caribbean movies from 2006 to 2017, earning an Academy Award nomination for the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl. In the following years, Depp earned additional nominations for Finding Neverland and Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Over his career, Depp has also appeared in an array of crime dramas, including 2001's Blow, playing a real American cocaine kingpin, George Jung, who was connected to Pablo Escobar.

One of our remits here at Nerdly is to champion no-budget and low-budget movies, uncovering hidden gems that might not have that “big budget” polish but make up for it with creativity, commitment, and bold storytelling. Crimes of the Devil fits that bill to a tee – it’s an intriguing entry in the psychological thriller genre, offering a mix of theological horror, crime drama, and moral ambiguity. While it does have its flaws, it’s an ambitious effort that deserves some attention.

Crimes of the Devil follows a woman, Eve, who commits a shocking act of violence and then, under interrogation, begins unravelling the mysterious and eerie circumstances that led her to that point. There’s an almost stage-play quality to the film,...

James Marsden wants to play Frank Sinatra in a biopic.

“I’ve always loved emulating some of the old crooners, like Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin,” Marsden told the New York Post this week. “I always thought there were so many interesting stories of Frank Sinatra’s life that could be played. And for whatever reason, you’ve never really seen a movie about him.”

To be fair, Ray Liotta played Sinatra in 1998’s made-for-television movie The Rat Pack, James Russo played him in Stealing Sinatra, also made for TV (released in 2003, the movie covers the 1963 kidnapping of the singer’s famous son), Dennis Hopper played him in 2003’s The Night We Call It a Day, about Sinatra’s 1963 Australia tour, and Robert Knepper played him in 2012’s My Way, about the life of French singer Claude François.

But Marsden is still kind of right — there has...

James Marsden is open to playing Frank Sinatra in a biopic, like Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown or Jamie Foxx’s portrayal of Ray Charles in 2004’s Ray.

In a new interview, the Paradise actor expressed his interest in playing the singer known as “The Voice” and “The Chairman of the Board.”

“I’ve always loved emulating some of the old crooners, like Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin,” the actor said in an interview with The Post. “I always thought there were so many interesting stories of Frank Sinatra’s life that could be played. And for whatever reason, you’ve never really seen a movie about him.”

He continued, “I just think there’s so many stories that could be told about that man — some of the really tortured and darker stories, and some uplifting ones as well. What he did,...

African refugees struggling to reach Europe receive an unpleasant welcome in Uwe Boll’s Run. The action thriller from the renegade German director of First Shift and BloodRayne dropped its first official trailer today, shared exclusively with The Hollywood Reporter (see below).

Oscar-nominees Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction) and Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips) star, alongside an impressive ensemble cast that includes James Russo, Ulrich Thomsen, Kristen Renton, Daniel Sauli, Marcus Henderson and newcomer Hannah Balogun.

The feature follows a group of migrants traveling by boat across the Mediterranean Sea toward Italy. When the vessel goes off course, tensions rise, leading to violence as the migrants turn on the smugglers. Upon reaching shore, some passengers evade capture, setting off a series of events throughout the day that escalate into further conflict, intertwining the lives of migrants, locals, and tourists.

Plummer plays a local U.S. expat who tries to help the migrants,...

The concept for this upcoming film almost sounds like a throwaway punchline in a comedy — “Controversial acting figure Armie Hammer will attempt to make a comeback…but it will be in an Uwe Boll movie. This movie will be about a vigilante who deals his own brand of justice and it’s titled…The Dark Knight.” However, not only is this movie happening, it’s already well into production in Zagreb, Croatia. Boll stated, “The story of The Dark Knight couldn’t be a more current topic, and I’m excited to bring it to life with this excellent cast.”

You can now get a new look at The Dark Knight as Variety has shared a couple of new images from the production. Additionally, the cast has added Costas Mandylor, who is a regular actor in the Saw franchise. The Dark Knight is based on an original script by Boll,...

Filmmaker Uwe Boll is back with a new action-packed vigilante thriller, ‘The Dark Knight,’ starring Armie Hammer as a man who takes justice into his own hands. The film, currently shooting in Zagreb, Croatia, has also added Costas Mandylor (‘Saw’ franchise) to the cast. Along with this announcement, the production team has released a first-look image from the film, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come.

In ‘The Dark Knight,’ Hammer plays Sanders, a man who goes rogue and begins hunting down criminals himself. Mandylor takes on the role of Interpol officer Henry, the man tasked with stopping him. This sets up an intense game of cat and mouse, with two strong-willed characters on opposite sides of the law.

Boll is excited about the casting, saying

“We’re very happy to add Costas Mandylor to our cast, who is playing Interpol officer Henry. To see him acting opposite...

As part of his comeback tour, embattled actor Armie Hammer is ready to gear up and dole out some justice as the star of Uwe Boll‘s latest feature, The Dark Knight. Principal photography for Boll’s vigilante thriller begins in Croatia on January 27, with Hammer eager to step into the scene.

According to Variety, The Dark Knight is based on an original script by Boll, with Hammer playing Sanders, “who takes justice into his own hands as he sets out to hunt down criminals. While his crusade transforms him into a social media sensation and a hero in the eyes of the public, the local police chief sees him as a menace to society and aims to take him down.”

“The story of ‘The Dark Knight’ couldn’t be a more current topic, and I’m excited to bring it to life with this excellent cast,” said Boll about his latest endeavor.

Armie Hammer’s comeback is picking up steam after nabbing the starring role in Uwe Boll’s latest film, “The Dark Knight.”

Hammer is set to play the crime-fighting titular character in the vigilante thriller, which is scheduled to begin principal photography in Croatia on Jan. 27.

The embattled actor, who saw his career come to a halt in 2021 following allegations of sexual misconduct, recently returned to work in Travis Mills’ forthcoming western “Frontier Crucible,” which also stars Thomas Jane and William H. Macy.

Following a lengthy probe, Los Angeles prosecutors in 2023 declined to charge the actor with any crime.

Prior to the allegations, Hammer starred in such high-profile pics as Gore Verbinski’s “The Lone Ranger” alongside Johnny Depp, Guy Ritchie’s “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” with Henry Cavill and Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me by Your Name” with Timothée Chalamet.

In a recent podcast interview, Hammer said that his...

It’s not uncommon to see the same actor playing several different roles at the same time, especially on TV shows.

Shawn Hatosy has a role on Rescue: Hi-Surf but is also a recurring face on Chicago Pd. Both roles portray Hatosy as an entitled white male in charge who’s not afraid to bend the rules to get his way.

It’s not the first time Hatosy has taken on roles that depict him negatively. He’s one of those actors who is great at playing a jerky bad guy. However, he also has numerous memorable characteristics as an okay guy.

Hatosy fans from the ’90s might remember him from his early days when he took on awkward teen roles to expand his filmography.

He had several small supporting roles, racking up time with big names like Brittany Murphy (Double Jeopardy) and James Russo (No Way Home...

Gangster movies have long been one of the most successful and beloved corners of cinema, from classics like Get Carter to modern hits like The Irishman. From real criminals like Al Capone to fictionalized characters like the thieves in Reservoir Dogs, the genre covers a range of topics, from personal drama to detective work. At every step, audiences are shown the inner workings of crime families and how they operate, but are often led to identify with a gangster.

Gangster movies typically serve as something of a morality play, exploring the effects of a life of crime on people, from criminals themselves to innocent people and police officers. By the time these stories end, audiences are left to either root for or against key figures, and some films end with justice. A good gangster movie doesn't have to end on a happy note, and they're often at their best when...

It can be hard to tell sometimes what is a Best Horror Movie You Never Saw. You look at the credentials on a particular film without looking at the title and surely it has to be a mega popular hit. You have Italian mega director Dario Argento, Oscar nominated Piper Laurie, James Russo, Brad Douriff, and special effects by another master of his craft in none other than Tom Savini. I set you up with all those names and accomplishments and maybe you wrack your brain on the possibility that you have seen or even heard of the movie. But I say have you seen the 1993 horror movie Trauma (watch it Here) and I’m guessing for most people, the answer will be no. That is a sure fire way for a movie to end up on this show and that’s why today you will learn why Trauma is...

UTA Independent Film Group has acquired Uwe Boll’s upcoming migrant crisis thriller “Run,” starring Emmy and Tony award winner Amanda Plummer (“Star Trek: Picard”) and James Russo (“Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1”).

UTA will handle global sales for the pic, produced by Boll’s U.S.-Canadian shingle Event Film and his German outfit Bolu.

UTA takes over from the film’s initial sales company, Stuttgart-based Kinostar, headed by “Run” executive producer Michael Roesch. The move is seen as an advantage for potential worldwide deals.

“We are thrilled to work with UTA for the global sales of ‘Run’ and can’t wait to introduce the movie to audiences around the world,” said Boll.

“We are excited that UTA loves the strong performances of our ensemble cast as much as we do, and we can’t wait to start working with them,” added Roesch.

Quick Links The Postman Plot and Cast The Postman Was a Flop at the Box Office Is The Postman Worth a Watch?

It has undoubtedly been a rough go for Kevin Costner in 2024. His most recent project, Horizon: An American Saga, struggled at the box office before making its way to streaming with mixed reviews from viewers and critics. Some may even say the discourse around the film has been rather harsh for Costner, whose career as an actor and director has seen equal successes as horrible failures.

Still, out of all the movies that Costner has directed, one stands out as his biggest flop, and we are not talking about Waterworld, which he starred in. 1997's The Postman was such a financial and critical failure that it had an irreplicable effect on Costner's career that few other actors have experienced. We will examine just how badly The Postman did in the theaters,...

Al Pacino is known for his gangster roles in films such as The Godfather trilogy, but the actor played against type in the film Donnie Brasco. Co-starring with Johnny Depp in the titular role, Pacino starred as Lefty Ruggiero, a mafia enforcer of a crime family in New York, and garnered universal acclaim.

While the lead cast had two legends, the supporting roles too were played by stalwart actors. Michael Madsen, who was known for his role as Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs, played Sonny Black in the film. He reportedly refused to audition for the role and only went for it after meeting Al Pacino.

Kevin Costner’s Western epic “Horizon” is finally coming to streaming. The filmmaker’s passion project “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” will stream on Max starting on Friday, Aug. 23.

The film, which is the opening salvo of a planned four-film franchise, explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. The story spans the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865.

Costner co-wrote, directed, stars in and partially financed the film, which opened in theaters in June. “Horizon 2” is already completed and was originally set to be released in August, but after the lackluster performance of the first film at the box office, the decision was made to push the release of “Horizon 2” so more people could catch up with the first film. The sequel will now open later in 2024, but is...

Kevin Costner‘s period Western Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 has a streaming date.

The first chapter in the former Yellowstone star’s film saga will release on Max on Aug. 23.

Following the film disappointing at the box office — Chapter 1, which runs three hours and one minute, opened to just $11 million over the June 28-30 weekend — Costner’s Territory Pictures and distribution partner New Line Cinema decided to pause on releasing Horizon: Chapter 2. The second installment was pulled from a planned Aug. 16 theater release in order to give audiences the opportunity to discover the first installment on PVOD and Max.

Chapter 1 debuted in the home on Premium VOD July 16 while it remained in theaters, but at that time, a Max date had not been announced. The switch-up in what was an ambitious release plan was in hopes of allowing more time to grow the audience, as the first film sports a $100 million price tag.

New Line Cinema and Territory Pictures’ Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 will make its streaming debut on Friday, August 23, exclusively on Max.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, the first installment of an ambitious Civil War epic from Kevin Costner, has been set to begin streaming exclusively on Max on Friday, August 23.

The film hits streaming following its Cannes premiere and June 28 theatrical debut, which was regarded as a misfire for a big-budget title, at a gross of just over $34 million. While Warner Bros initially intended to release Chapter 2 just two months later, on August 16 — in an unusual move — the sequel’s release has since been delayed for an indefinite period, the hope being to give audiences who have not yet caught up with Chapter 1 a chance to do so. Chapter 2 will screen out of competition at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, September 7, with Chapter 1 playing there earlier in the day.
