However, Deadline has a bit of intel and reported, “Jackson is believed to be playing Russell Lee Washington Jr. who, like Stallone’s Dwight ‘The General’ Manfredi, comes from the crime world. He will go against Dwight in Tulsa before headling down to take over New Orleans.”

Dave Erickson, who works on Tulsa King, as well as Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingston, will be the showrunner and also executive produces the project. Sheridan also executive produces, along with David C. Glasser of 101 Studios. MTV Entertainment Studios is also behind the project.

What’s ‘Tulsa King’ about?

Tulsa King began filming Season 3 back in March in Atlanta and Oklahoma.

Stallone stars as “New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.”
