Terence Winter, the mastermind behind the hit series Tulsa King, recently opened up about his experience working with the iconic Sylvester Stallone, and what fans can expect in the highly-anticipated second season.
Winter revealed that working with Stallone was a dream come true, as the actor brought his signature humor and charisma to the table. "Sly is just a fantastic guy to be around," Winter said. "He's got a great sense of humor, and he's always up for trying new things. He's been a pleasure to work with from day one."
One of the most surprising aspects of Tulsa King is its hilarious tone, which sets it apart from other Taylor Sheridan shows. Winter mentioned that he aimed to create a series that would make audiences laugh, while also delivering the same level of drama and action that fans have come to expect from Sheridan's productions.
"Taylor's shows are always so serious and dramatic, but I wanted to bring a bit of levity to this one," Winter explained. "Sly was on board with that from the start, and he brought a lot of his own comedic ideas to the table. I think that's part of what makes Tulsa King so special – it's got a unique blend of humor and drama that you won't find anywhere else."
So, what's next for Tulsa King in season 2? Winter teased that fans can expect even more action, drama, and humor, as the series continues to follow the story of Dwight Manfredi (played by Stallone), a mobster who gets exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"We're going to take the stakes up a notch in season 2," Winter promised. "Dwight is going to face even more challenges and obstacles, but he'll also have some new allies to help him navigate the treacherous landscape of the mob. And, of course, we'll have plenty of laughs along the way."
Additionally, Winter hinted at some exciting new characters that will be introduced in season 2, including a few familiar faces from the world of organized crime.
"We'll see some new players enter the scene, some of whom will become allies for Dwight, while others will become thorns in his side," Winter said. "It's going to be a wild ride, and I think fans are going to love it."
With its unique blend of humor, drama, and action, Tulsa King has quickly become a fan favorite, and it will be interesting to see how the series evolves in season 2. One thing's for sure, though – with Terence Winter at the helm and Sylvester Stallone on board, the show is guaranteed to be full of excitement, laughs, and plenty of surprises.
