Sylvester Stallone stars in this crime drama series as Dwight "The General" Manfredi, a New York mafia capo who, after being released from prison, is unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. What is the title of this show?

The crime drama series described, starring Sylvester Stallone as Dwight "The General" Manfredi, is titled Tulsa King (Review). The show centers on Manfredi, a New York mafia capo who, after a 25-year prison sentence, is unexpectedly exiled by his boss to Tulsa, Oklahoma, with orders to establish new criminal operations there. This premise immediately sets up a "fish-out-of-water" narrative as the old-school gangster navigates a completely unfamiliar environment and culture, far removed from his New York roots.

"Tulsa King" marks a significant milestone in Sylvester Stallone's career, as it is his first leading role in a scripted television series. The series was created by Taylor Sheridan, known for his work on hit shows like "Yellowstone," and the pilot episode was reportedly written in just 24 hours after a discussion about Stallone's desire to play a gangster. Terence Winter, an Emmy-winning writer known for his work on The Sopranos (Review) and "Boardwalk Empire," served as the showrunner for the first season, bringing his expertise in the gangster genre to the project.

The show explores themes of loyalty, adaptation, and the clash of different worlds as Dwight "The General" Manfredi attempts to build a new criminal empire from scratch in a place he initially views as a banishment. He recruits an unlikely crew of local characters to help him establish his syndicate, blending his traditional mafia tactics with the unique landscape of Oklahoma. The series premiered on Paramount+ in November 2022 and quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the most-watched cable premieres of that year. Its success has led to multiple season renewals and even a spin-off series, further expanding the "Tulsa King" universe.
