Yellowstone creator's hit crime drama starring Hollywood icon gets thrilling update after cliffhanger

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan's other gripping drama featuring a Hollywood legend has received an thrilling announcement regarding its third series.

Tulsa King, fronted by iconic Rocky star Sylvester Stallone as crime boss Dwight 'the General' Manfredi, will officially make its comeback on Sunday, 21st September on Paramount+.

Prior to the opening episode, and after a jaw-dropping cliffhanger conclusion to series two, Paramount has unveiled a fresh poster and first-look teaser trailer showing what lies ahead.

The 30-second preview shows Dwight has set his sights on a distillery as a potential fresh business opportunity for his criminal organisation.

After a startling twist finale where Dwight is dragged from his bed at gunpoint and informed by a shadowy character, "You work for us now", the General is still attempting to fight his way back to power whilst dodging further imprisonment, reports the Express.

Nevertheless, there's plenty of unforeseen obstacles as one moment in the trailer shows Dwight confronting Bill Bevilaqua (portrayed by Frank Grillo), brandishing a weapon and demanding to know whether Bill considers him a 'rat'.

The trailer also hints at the comeback of Sheridan's former Yellowstone actor Neal McDonough as opposing crime lord Cal Thresher.

A synopsis for series three states: "As Dwight's empire expands, so do his enemies and the risks to his crew.

"Now, he faces his most dangerous adversaries in Tulsa yet: the Dunmires, a powerful old-money family that doesn't play by old-world rules, forcing Dwight to fight for everything he's built and protect his family."

Additionally, legendary film star Samuel L Jackson joins the cast this series as Russell Lee Washington Jr.

His character will be relocating from Tulsa to New Orleans to front his own spin-off series, NOLA King.

If you haven't been persuaded to watch the gripping criminal drama thus far, the show's staggering collection of five-star Google reviews demonstrates it's absolutely worth binge-watching before the fresh series arrives.

One viewer branded it "Deep, genuine & addictive" and confessed it was the sole programme that "made me subscribe to Paramount plus".

Another enthusiast commented on the inaugural series: "Highly addictive. This show and the characters draw you in.

"Stallone and his misfit mafia crew, with a backdrop of Tulsa are a nice combination. Ready for season 2."

Meanwhile, a third viewer concurred: "Was glued to the TV and binged in one day. Enjoyed every bit and everything fits and straight to the point, issues don't drag out too long."

Tulsa King season 3 premieres Sunday, 21st September on Paramount+.
