Sylvester Stallone's mob boss has had better weeks. The new trailer for Tulsa King season 4 shows Dwight Manfredi watching his casino, his dispensary and his distillery all get picked off one by one, and he isn't taking it well.

"Everything I own is gone," he says at one point, sounding genuinely rattled for a man who usually treats Oklahoma like his personal chessboard. Then the old Dwight shows up. "I'm not ready to fold," he says. "I'm gonna get it all back."

The season's official description, put out alongside the trailer, promises corrupt politicians, dangerous new enemies and what it calls a crushing personal loss, all hitting Dwight from every direction at once. The line that sticks is about what winning actually costs him: every hard-won gain, apparently, comes with an even harder truth about loyalty, leadership and ambition. Translation, per the trailer itself: Dwight's New York instincts are back, and Tulsa is about to become the battleground for them.

Early on, Dwight sets the tone himself. "If I find out whose fault this is, bad things are gonna happen to bad people," he warns, sounding less like a legitimate businessman and more like the guy he used to be before he ever set foot in Oklahoma.

The season also introduces Gretchen Mol as Amanda Clark, described as a political strategist with deep ties to local corruption. She gets one of the trailer's sharper exchanges. Asked by a reporter whether "the mob" has come to Oklahoma, she doesn't blink. "It may have come," she says, "but it sure as hell ain't stayin'." Whether that's a threat aimed at Dwight or a promise she can't keep is exactly the kind of thing season 4 is presumably built to answer.

Mol joins a cast that already includes Martin Starr, Jay Will, Vincent Piazza, Annabella Sciorra, Frank Grillo, Neal McDonough, Kevin Pollak, James Russo, Garrett Hedlund and Dana Delany, among others. Terence Winter remains head writer and executive producer, with Taylor Sheridan and Stallone also executive producing alongside a long list of producing partners including David C. Glasser and Ron Burkle.

Tulsa King season 4 premieres Friday, October 16, on Paramount+, produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios.

There's a second front opening up in this world too. Samuel L. Jackson, who showed up last season as hitman Russell Lee Washington Jr. Before turning against an order to kill Dwight, is getting his own spinoff. Frisco King follows Russell setting up shop in Frisco, Texas, and building his own operation from scratch. Sheridan has reportedly written all eight scripts himself. It doesn't have a release date yet, but it's headed to Paramount+ whenever it lands.

For now, the clock is on Dwight. Three weeks out from a premiere and a trailer that suggests he's losing on every front, the real question is how much of his empire actually survives the season, and what's left of the man once he gets it back.
