“Tulsa King’s return shattered records with 2M active sub households on premiere day and over 5M globally for the week, fueling Paramount+’s continued momentum as the fastest growing SVOD four years in a row,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios. “The show’s success is a testament to the combination of Sly’s star power and swagger coupled with Terry Winter’s gifted writing and the unique world building that only Taylor Sheridan can do.”
“It’s tremendous to see the premiere resonate with a record number of viewers,” said Jeff Grossman. Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+. “Stallone makes the role of Dwight Manfredi irresistibly compelling, and he is complemented by a phenomenal ensemble cast. We can’t wait to share what his unlikely crew and their formidable adversaries are up to this season.”

Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios. “This is one of those projects where you watch the idea become a reality and along the way you know that if all the pieces come together it’s going to be a big success. Tulsa King is one of those projects and partnering with Sylvester Stallone, Taylor Sheridan, Terence Winter and all the cast and crew behind it has been a true blessing.”
