Excitement for Tulsa King Season 3 is on the rise among fans, and so is Sylvester Stallone's paycheck per episode. The popular Sylvester Stallone-led crime thriller has been renewed for a third season after season 2 ended its run back in November 2024.
Since its first season premiere on Paramount+ in November 2022, Tulsa King has grown fast in viewership. The second season was released on September 2024, with 21.1 million viewership for the first episode, becoming the most-watched global premiere on Paramount+ at that time.
The lead actor Sylvester Stallone's alleged paycheck for Tulsa King Season 3 is certainly representative of the show's popularity. According to Puck, Stallone, who plays Dwight Manfredi in the mob drama, will be making almost $2 million per episode for the upcoming season.
How this salary is great news for fans of Tulsa King Season 3

The allegedly high salary for Sylvester Stallone does mean that the show is performing really well for Paramount+. Even though other shows on their list, including Landman and Lioness, have big names in their cast list, meaning big paychecks, a comparison would prove that they aren't as high as Stallone's.
The alleged paycheck that Stallone is receiving for his role as a lead actor and an executive producer shows that Paramount+ believes in the show's success as they are more likely to spend money on projects with a high return on investment. Tulsa King Season 3 has given a good reason for this belief, considering the high viewership that the preceding seasons have garnered.
The series has even had critical appreciation with an almost perfect score from Rotten Tomatoes. Critical appreciation, along with high streaming viewership, puts the show over several other popular shows, such as House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones spinoff.
Sylvester Stallone's big paycheck for the Tulsa King Season 3 also gives the fans hope for a renewal of the fourth season of the show.
