Sylvester Stallone and Taylor Sheridan Look to Expand Tulsa King in a Similar Format to Yellowstone

The hit series *Tulsa King*, led by Sylvester Stallone, is on track to follow the successful blueprint of Taylor Sheridan’s *Yellowstone* with

plans to expand into a larger franchise. After *Yellowstone* faced uncertainty following Kevin Costner’s sudden exit in 2023, Sheridan is

pushing forward with new projects, and *Tulsa King* seems poised to join his expanding universe of shows.

*Tulsa King* debuted on Paramount+ to great reception, earning an impressive 79% critic score and a 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. With its first season’s success, there is now exciting news about the potential for spin-offs, starting with a new series set in New Orleans. Much like *Yellowstone*, which has spawned prequels like *1883* and *1923*, *Tulsa King* could grow into a full-fledged franchise with prequels, sequels, and spin-offs of its own.

Season 2 will be crucial in determining whether *Tulsa King* can capture a larger audience and elevate its status to that of *Yellowstone*. Sheridan will remain as the show’s creator and executive producer, ensuring the same high-quality storytelling that fans have come to expect, even if he becomes less involved in the daily production. There are even talks of Stallone leading the series for at least three seasons before possibly handing off the reins to other characters who could carry their own spin-offs.

Though the idea of *Tulsa King* evolving into a franchise like *Yellowstone* is still in early stages, fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next for this rising mob drama. With the possibility of multiple spin-offs, *Tulsa King* could become Sheridan’s next major franchise hit.
