'Tulsa King' Gets Broadcast Run On CBS This Summer

 


After Yellowstone’s first three seasons helped CBS keep their Sunday nights afloat with a broadcast season impacted by the dual strikes, alongside Paramount+ originals SEAL Team, FBI True, and NCIS: Sydney, the network is dipping back into the wells of both Taylor Sheridan and the streamer to give the summer a bit of a jolt. The first season of Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone, has been added to CBS’s summer schedule ahead of the season 2 premiere on the streamer.

While maintaining it on the schedule long enough to get through its first 3 seasons of 29 total episodes before the Grammys and the Super Bowl took its timeslot to take the rest of the way to the return of CBS programming is a good sign of success, the first episode has been highlighted having reached 6.6 million viewers with 50% of those viewers having never seen the show prior. The move to bring Tulsa King to broadcast is part of Paramount’s broader strategy to repurpose streaming originals on its linear channels. It showcases them to a broader audience, and  is more cost-effective than producing new shows for a traditionally lower-viewership time of the year. If the strategy is to persist it is unclear what this means for the streamer’s future. 

Tulsa King stars Sylvester Stallone as New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi, who, after spending 25 years in prison, is unceremoniously exiled by his boss and relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Realizing the betrayal by his mob family was most certainly for their own interests over his, Dwight slowly builds a ragtag crew to help him establish a new criminal empire. The series previously aired linearly on Paramount Network when its first episode got a post-Yellowstone slot as a preview on premiere weekend in November 2022, a strategy later employed on CBS for Lawmen: Bass ReevesThe first season also stars Andrea Savage, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany, Martin Starr, Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza, Jay Will, and A.C. Peterson.

Sheridan executive produces alongside Stallone, outgoing showrunner Terence Winter, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Allen Coulter and Braden Aftergood. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
