Tulsa King Has Avoided A Big Streaming Problem Of Huge Delays Between Seasons

Tulsa King Season 3 Is Coming Out Just A Year After Season 2 Premiered, Unlike Other Streaming Shows

For many streaming shows, there’s usually a long wait between each season.Severanceseason 2, for example, came out three years after its debut season, whileWednesdayseason 2will come out two and a half years after season 1.There are a variety of reasons for the delays, from the 2023 writers' strike to VFX backlogs, but many streaming shows take well over a year for new seasons.

That’s not the case forTulsa King, though.There was a one-and-a-half-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, butTulsa Kingseason 3 is coming out just a year after season 2 began. Paramount confirmed thatTulsa Kingseason 3 will premiere on August 14, 2025, while season 2 premiered on June 08, 2025. It’s rare for a streaming show to have such a quick turnaround.

Tulsa King’s quick turnaround should also help the show out a lot. When streaming shows have a long gap between seasons, it’s harder to get viewers to return to the series. There’s not as much excitement after two or three years, and many viewers don’t remember all the plot points from the previous season.Tulsa Kingseason 3, however, won’t have either of those problems.
