What is the Tulsa King plot?
Tulsa King is a crime drama taking place in Tulsa, Okla. Here is the official synopsis:
“Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight ‘The General’ Manfredi, 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.”
Tulsa King Cast & Crew
The show is headlined by Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone. He stars as Dwight Manfredi. Tulsa King is Stallone’s first TV show as a lead actor, though he has appeared as a guest star on a few, including Las Vegas and Police Story.

- Max Casella as Armand Truisi
