Sylvester Stallone’s ‘Tulsa King’ Season 4 Adds a Crime Series Regular With ‘Boardwalk Empire’ Star
Tulsa King Season 4 is officially underway despite an unexpected round of firings, and Taylor Sheridan’s hit Paramount+ crime saga is adding some major muscle to its cast. Gretchen Mol, best known for Boardwalk Empire and American Gigolo, has joined the series as a new series regular opposite Sylvester Stallone, Frank Grillo, Martin Starr, Garrett Hedlund, and Dana Delany.
Mol will play Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician whose arrival promises to shake up the already chaotic political-criminal landscape surrounding Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone). The character is expected to be a major player in Season 4’s storyline as Dwight’s operation continues colliding with local power structures.
For longtime fans of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, this casting brings a noteworthy reunion. Tulsa King’s Season 4 head writer and executive producer, Terence Winter, created and executive-produced Boardwalk Empire, where Mol starred as Gillian Darmody across multiple seasons. Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios officially kicked off production on Season 4 in Atlanta, just as the Season 3 finale premieres on November 23 on Paramount+. The series remains one of Paramount+’s flagship hits, consistently pulling strong viewership thanks to Stallone’s commanding performance and Sheridan’s signature mix of grit, gore, laughs, and underworld drama.
Mol’s casting comes during a major moment in her career renaissance. She recently appeared in Lauren Meyering’s Horsegirls, which premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, and starred in Ed Burns’ Millers In Marriage alongside Julianna Margulies and Benjamin Bratt — a film that premiered at TIFF before releasing earlier this year.
Is ‘Tulsa King’ Worth Watching?
It’s arguably Sheridan’s lightest and funniest series, and Stallone is a significant lead. Collider’s 8/10 review agreed:
Altogether, Season 3 is shaping up to be Tulsa King‘s most exciting installment yet. It adds strong antagonists to the world who set dangerous stakes early, backed by excellent new additions to the cast (anything’s better with Robert Patrick in it). It boasts greater involvement and development of some key, formerly underutilized players, which benefits its storytelling. There’s also a promise of greater mob danger as the narrative plays out, keeping the pressure on Dwight and refusing to let go. While it’s impossible to say how well everything will ultimately come together, Tulsa King Season 3 is a thoroughly tense ride nonetheless — and the best that Sheridan’s series has been so far.
Season 4 does not yet have an announced release date, but with production underway, fans should expect the series to return sometime in 2026.
