Tulsa King Season 4 to Debut on Paramount+ Oct. 16, 2026
The announcement follows a September 2025 renewal for a fourth season. In that month, Paramount confirmed that Dave Erickson, who served as showrunner for Season 3, had departed the series. Terence Winter, who was the original showrunner for Season 1 and later served as head writer, has returned as head writer and executive producer for Season 4. The change in leadership was noted in a press release from Paramount+.
Season 4 introduces two new regulars. Gretchen Mol joins the cast as Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician, while Eden Lee portrays Maya, the chief of staff for the Governor of Oklahoma. Both actors were announced in the same release that revealed the premiere date.
The series has been available on Paramount+ since its premiere on the platform in late 2022. Viewers can access all three previous seasons—Season 1 (2022–2023), Season 2 (2024), and Season 3 (2025)—through the streaming service. Paramount+ offers two subscription tiers: an ad‑supported Essential plan at $8.99 per month and an ad‑free Premium plan at $13.99 per month, which also includes Showtime titles and live CBS programming. New subscribers can start with a seven‑day free trial on the Premium plan.
In addition to the standalone Paramount+ subscription, the service can be added to Hulu or Amazon Prime Video accounts for $13.99 per month. Both platforms provide free trials for new users. Paramount+ is also available through YouTube, where a free trial is offered.
The fourth season follows the conclusion of Season 3, which ended in November 2025 with a finale that saw the main character’s son, Cole, confronting the series’ antagonist. A writers’ room for a potential fifth season has already opened, indicating that the show’s future remains in development.
Alongside Tulsa King, Paramount+ is preparing a slate of new content for September, including the horror film Backrooms, which will debut on HBO on September 25, and the second season of MobLand, a crime thriller starring Tom Hardy, which will premiere on Paramount+ on September 18. The network also plans to bring back several popular shows on NBC, ABC, FOX, and CBS.
The series’ creator, Taylor Sheridan, has also ordered a spin‑off titled Frisco King, starring Samuel L. Jackson. Production on the spin‑off wrapped earlier this summer, but no premiere date has been announced.
Tulsa King has been a consistent performer for Paramount+, contributing to the platform’s subscriber growth and setting viewership records on its original programming. The show received a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy nomination in 2023.
With the October 16 premiere, fans of the series can expect a new chapter that continues the blend of crime drama and dark humor that has defined the show. Paramount+ will release the first episode on the stated date, with subsequent episodes arriving weekly. The platform’s subscription options and cross‑service availability provide multiple ways for viewers to keep up with the series.
As the streaming landscape evolves, Tulsa King’s continued renewal and expansion into a spin‑off signal Paramount+’s commitment to original content that blends genre storytelling with star power. The upcoming season will be a key part of the service’s programming strategy for the fall.
