“We are thrilled to bring fans even more of this incredible series, and to be shooting the next season of Tulsa King in New York, where Dwight Manfredi’s story will continue to evolve,” Paramount Television Studios executive Drew Brown said in a statement. “We’re proud of the work we’ve done in Georgia, and it remains an important venue for us.”

Sheridan opted not to fill the role of showrunner for season 2, instead hiring a director and executive producer to oversee day-to-day production.

Dave Erickson went on to join the show as a showrunner for season 3. By season 4, Tulsa King went into production without a showrunner in place and relied on Scott Stone, who was an executive in charge of production from 101 Studios, to oversee the show day to day while Winter was back again as a writer.

Sheridan previously closed a major deal with NBCUniversal. The five-year overall deal for film, TV and streaming will begin January 1, 2029, after Sheridan’s TV deal with Paramount — which goes through 2028 — officially ends.
