The success of a very popular series has caused actor Sylvester Stallone to postpone his retirement, even if he is not retiring. If you believed that Sylvester Stallone’s career had ended, you couldn’t be more mistaken. Because they want their careers to endure, movie stars frequently put off retirement for several years. The American actor and filmmaker has decided not to retire due to the popularity of the show he stars in, which he has already extended for multiple seasons. The show in which Sylvester Stallone has continued to act for the longest is Tulsa King. In 2025, the actor considered resigning and bidding farewell to his career because it appeared that it had reached a low point a few years prior. But because of the series’ popularity, he has chosen to prolong his career.
The success of this series will prolong Sylvester Stallone’s career
All citizens, whether they work as performers, singers, electricians, or lawyers, eventually retire. For most workers, this is one of the most anticipated moments. On the other hand, professionals who are committed to performing tend to postpone their age by several years. Antonio Resines, who claimed to make his work compatible with receiving his pension, is one example of this that has already occurred in Spain. The Statute of the Artist, a law enacted in 2023 to elevate the profession, is responsible for this in our nation.
Hollywood performers are likewise subject to retirement, albeit the laws are different in the US. This time, Sylvester Stallone has chosen to take the role of New York mafia boss Dwight “The General” Manfredi in the popular television series “Tulsa King,” delaying his retirement. With two seasons to date, the Sylvester Stallone starring series has been a huge global success. Although it airs on SkyShowtime in Spain, Tulsa King has now been formally renewed for a third season on Paramount+.
Unless there are any additional renewals, viewers will continue to see Sylvester Stallone as Manfredi for one more season, according to series creators Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) and Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire). The actor will therefore be going back to work this year since the new season’s filming is anticipated to start in the upcoming months. Specialized media have reported that Sylvester Stallone will postpone his retirement due to the popularity of the production, which is scheduled to arrive in Spain this autumn.
Sylvester Stalone series will bring another showrunner shakeup
Given that the show’s second season return in September was Paramount+’s most-watched worldwide premiere in the streamer’s history and that it remained a Nielsen Top 10 streaming title for the remainder of its sophomore season run, the renewal is not shocking. Executive producer Dave Erickson will be the only showrunner for season three. Erikson, who just inked a multi-year overall contract with MTV Entertainment Studios, is the showrunner of Mayor of Kingstown, another Taylor Sheridan comedy. The announcement is missing a few important season two behind-the-scenes names. The mix did not feature Terence Winter, the intermittent principal writer.
Additionally, Craig Zisk was taken on as the lead director for the previous season. In essence, the two divided up the show running responsibilities, with Zisk managing the production on-location and Winter handling the writing. Although the third season’s start date has not been officially announced, it appears safe to assume that the show will return in the fourth quarter of this year. The announcement comes after Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, and Jon Voight were named as part of President Trump’s three Special Ambassadors to “trouble” Hollywood in January. What that designation means is still up in the air. Sheridan’s slate on Paramount+ includes Tulsa King, Landman, 1923, Lioness, and Mayor of Kingstown.
