Frank Grillo Returns for Tulsa King Season 4 After Stallone Call

Frank Grillo is returning as Bill Bevilaqua in Tulsa King season 4, according to screenrant.com. Grillo had thought he was finished with the show after season 3 before deciding to return.

Grillo said Sylvester Stallone called him to tell him about behind-the-scenes changes going into season 4. Stallone plays Dwight Manfredi and serves as an executive producer on the series.

Among those changes is Terence Winter's return as head writer at Stallone's request. With no showrunner for season 4, Scott Stone is overseeing production.

Tulsa King season 4 premieres Friday, October 16 on Paramount+.

Background

Tulsa King debuted in 2022, with Stallone playing Dwight Manfredi, a convict who builds a criminal empire in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Over the past three years, the series has earned three Emmy nominations and received mostly positive reviews. Winter was the original showrunner but left the position after reportedly clashing with Sheridan over creative differences, staying on as head writer and executive producer. Craig Zisk took over for season 2, and Dave Erickson became showrunner for season 3 before leaving to work on Sheridan's Mayor of Kingstown. Before joining Tulsa King for season 2, Grillo appeared in several Marvel Cinematic Universe films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Endgame, and joined James Gunn's DC Universe two years ago as Rick Flag Sr.
