Is Sylvester Stallone returning for Tulsa King Seasons 3 and 4?
Stallone, according to Variety, has commenced the final lap of signing a new contract that will allow him portray again the character of Dwight “The General” Manfredi.

It is still unclear why the studio representative refused to provide an official statement, which has left the audience on the edge of their seats for a long time.
Tulsa King revolves around the character, Dwight Manfredi, a New York mob captain released from jail after serving a 25-year imprisonment.

This role marks the first time that Stallone has had a regular television role and the character that he plays, Dwight, has received critical acclaim, which in turn has helped the show gain popularity.
