If you’re sitting there wondering exactly how many episodes in Tulsa King season two you need to clear your weekend for, I’ve got the answer. But honestly, it’s not just about the number. It’s about how this season feels way more packed than the first one.
The short answer is 10 episodes.
That’s one more than we got in the debut season. It might not sound like much of a jump—just one extra hour of Sylvester Stallone leaning against expensive cars—but in the world of Taylor Sheridan’s "Sheridan-verse," that extra episode actually changes the pacing quite a bit.
Why 10 Episodes Was the Magic Number for Season Two
When the first season dropped, people loved it, but it felt a little... fast? Dwight Manfredi (Stallone) was basically speed-running the takeover of Oklahoma. By the time we hit the finale, he was already behind bars again.

Season two needed more breathing room. With 10 episodes, the writers actually had space to let the subplots simmer. We aren't just watching Dwight; we're watching the "Tulsa family" actually become a family. You’ve got Bodhi (Martin Starr) doing his tech-wizard-meets-weed-dealer thing, and Tyson (Jay Will) dealing with some heavy family drama that honestly felt more grounded than the mob stuff.
The Full Episode List and What Went Down
If you’re bingeing these now on Paramount+, here is the roadmap of what you’re looking at:
- Back in the Saddle – Dwight is out on bail and immediately starts looking for new ways to make money, because legal fees aren't cheap.
- Kansas City Blues – This is where things get messy. The KC mob realizes Tulsa isn't just a flyover city anymore.
- Oklahoma v. Manfredi – The courtroom episode. Dwight proves he’s just as dangerous with a lawyer as he is with a gun.
- Heroes and Villains – Introduction of some serious new threats.
- Tilting at Windmills – Dwight looks into green energy, which is a hilarious pivot for a 75-year-old mobster.
- Navigator – A sit-down that goes about as well as you’d expect (lots of staring).
- Life Support – Tensions boil over after a major hit attempt.
- Under New Management – The power dynamics in New York start to crumble.
- Triad – Dwight realizes he’s fighting a war on three fronts: NY, KC, and local businessmen.
- Reconstruction – The finale that basically blew up the status quo for season three.
The "Showrunner" Drama Behind the Scenes
Kinda wild fact: season two didn’t technically have a traditional showrunner. Terence Winter, who was the boss in season one (and wrote for The Sopranos, so he knows his stuff), stepped down from the role after some creative "disagreements" with Taylor Sheridan.
He stayed on as a writer, but the season was largely guided by director Craig Zisk. Usually, when a show loses its captain, it hits an iceberg. Surprisingly, season two actually felt more focused. It leaned harder into the "fish out of water" comedy that makes Stallone so fun to watch in this role.
Where Does This Leave Season Three?
Since you're looking for the episode count, you've probably finished or are close to finishing the second season. As of early 2026, we already know that season three followed the same 10-episode format.

Paramount found their "sweet spot." Ten episodes is long enough to build a real threat—like Neal McDonough’s Cal Thresher or Frank Grillo’s Bill Bevilaqua—but short enough that the plot doesn't drag like those old 22-episode network shows used to.
What to do next
If you've just finished the 10th episode of season two, you’re likely reeling from that finale. The best move is to jump straight into season three, which is already streaming in its entirety. It picks up the pieces of the New York mob fallout and introduces the Dunmire family, who make the KC mob look like amateurs.

Basically, keep that Paramount+ subscription active. You’re going to need it to see how Dwight handles the liquor magnates and the inevitable "NOLA King" crossover that everyone’s whispering about.
