Summer Streamin' 24 - Tulsa King - Season Two

Tulsa King was one of those shows, I just embraced the first season. However the second season of this Taylor Sheridan series, just didn't quite grab me as much as the first.

Streaming on Paramount+, the series stars Sylvester Stallone as Dwight "The General" Manfredi. Episode one kicks off with in jail, Dwight meets Harlan, who has been incarcerated for an energy scam in which he gambled away $12.7 million grant money for a wind farm he owns. 

The next day, in the courthouse Dwight manages to negotiate a bail for himself, with Tina paying $300,000 for his bail. Back at the casino, Mitch introduces Dwight to his cousin, Bigfoot, who Dwight hires as his bodyguard. 

Dwight also tells the group about Harlan's wind farm scam, and decides to invest in it to power up a new weed farm, to which everyone agrees. While visiting the ranch, Margaret tells Dwight about a charity function organized by Cal Thresher, the biggest medical marijuana supplier in Tulsa, and invites Dwight to meet him. Dwight then visits Stacy at her home and tells her that he doesn't hold grudges over how she had him arrested. The next day, Dwight and the gang attends the function. 

However, when Dwight meets with Thresher, Thresher shows Dwight disdain for encroaching into his business and even intimidated Dwight. Dwight, now feeling hostile, decides to leave the function. Cal then calls upon Bill Bevilaqua and inquires about Dwight, also telling him that Dwight has now officially stepped into Bevilaqua's territory of Tulsa.

The series rolls on with violence, pot selling and a few new enemies.

Dana Delany stars as Stallone/Dwight's lady friend, Margaret Devereaux, the owner of Fennario horse ranch.

Season two also adds singer, Jelly Roll alongside, Annabella Sciorra as Joanne Manfredi, Dwight's younger sister, Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher, corrupt businessman, large producer and distributor of marijuana, an oil tycoon and Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua, boss of the Bevilaqua family of Kansas City.

Shortly after premiering, Tulsa King was renewed for a second season, which premiered mid-September. Apparently a third season and a spin-off series are both in development. With Sheridan's success across the Paramount Network & Paramount+, I don't doubt this is more than just a Wikipedia edit.

Sheridan has also just launched, yet another series on Paramount+, Landman with a double episode. This alongside Lioness, means Sheridan is almost single handedly programming the streaming platform.

Next up the finales of Fisk alongside a large number of "Fall" finales. Yep the US series are going to sleep for a bit. Found, Doctor Odyssey and Greys Anatomy all go on break this week.

Meaning Summer Streamin' 24 will all be about the catch ups. The series I have missed in the past, the recent series I hadn't gotten around to. So keep your eyes peeled as 2024 is seriously heading towards a close. Bring on 2025, where the highly originally Summer Streamin' 25 blog series will launch.
