‘Tulsa King’s Former Showrunner Terence Winter On Why He Returned To The Paramount+ Drama: “We All Got On The Same Page Creatively”


After leaving the show at the end of season 1, Terence Winter explains why he decided to return to the Tulsa crime world that he helped to build.

In February of 2023, Deadline broke the news that Terence Winter was stepping down as showrunner of Tulsa King, Taylor Sheridan’s latest joint for Paramount+ that stars Sylvester Stallone as a fresh-out-of-prison mafia capo named Dwight “The General” Manfredi who establishes a new criminal empire in Oklahoma. (Like Sheridan’s other series produced by 101 Studios, Tulsa King kicked off production on season 2 without a traditional showrunner, with director/EP Craig Zisk taking on the on-set leadership role). Ahead of the season 2 premiere on September 15, Winter explains what to expect in the coming episodes, and why he decided to return to the Tulsa crime world that he helped to build with Sheridan and Stallone.
