Premise

Cast

Production

Tulsa King was first announced in December 2021 as Kansas City, a new Paramount+ series created by Taylor Sheridan and showrun by Terence Winter. Sylvester Stallone was cast in the lead role, where he would make his scripted television debut.[1] It was ordered to series by February 2021,[2] and the title and concept were reworked to take place in Tulsa, Oklahoma instead of Kansas City by the time further casting announcements were made the following month.[3][4][5]

Sheridan created the series during the COVID-19 pandemic, taking a week to come up with the idea, write the pilot, and recruite Stallone to the project.[6] Filming began in March 2022.[7]
