If you like your television featuring loyalty, friendship, backstabbing, and plenty of cowboy hats, then you’re probably glued to the latest season of Tulsa King. One of Taylor Sheridan‘s most indulgent shows, this Oklahoma-set story has proven a hit with both audiences and critics since its 2022 debut, with the current fourth season maintaining that momentum.
Sylvester Stallone‘s Dwight “The General” Manfredi returned on October 16, with the fight “to legitimize his empire while facing corrupt politicians and new enemies” already leading to plenty of twists, turns, and jaw-dropping moments. Today (Friday, November 6), Episode 4, “Square One,” debuts on Paramount+, written by Joseph Riccobene and Terence Winter and directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly. But as we remain in the thick of this must-watch fourth season, the fifth continues to take shape off-screen.
Season 5 of Tulsa King is currently in production in New York with the likes of Erik Palladino, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Skordi, and Nickola Shreli already added in series regular roles. Now, courtesy of an exclusive from Deadline, we’ve learned of the latest big name joining the Tulsa King family.
Manny Montana, best known for his work on Girls and Ironheart, will join Season 5 as “Gilberto Torres, a gangster with a strong presence, though he doesn’t have to advertise it.” His character description continues, “Through his network in the streets, nothing goes on in New York without him knowing about it.”
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
A New Season 5 Series Regular Has Caused Backlash

Scarlet Rose Stallone has made the move up the cast hierarchy and, as the daughter of the show’s lead, a storm of nepotism claims has brewed online. These nepotism claims have led to Stallone himself speaking out in defense of the decision, saying, “First they go, ‘Nepotism is terrible,’ I said, ‘Oh please, you’re not a good parent if you haven’t performed a little nepotism,” adding, “Then obviously you don’t care about your kids, because they come first.” He continued:
“People will say, ‘She got that job, it’s too easy.’ You’re right. Perhaps it could be. But to maintain that, to be in front of millions of people, you either got it or you don’t.”
