From Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio to Tulsa King Season 4: Gretchen Mol’s Next Act
From late-90s breakout turns opposite Matt Damon in Rounders and Leonardo DiCaprio in the Woody Allen film Celebrity to a career of quietly devastating work across film, TV, and stage, Gretchen Mol is stepping back into the spotlight with a new chapter that proves subtle can still stun.
Gretchen Mol is stepping into Tulsa King, which feels like one of those casting choices that clicks the second you hear it. Quietly intense, sneaky-powerful performances are her lane, and this show lives on that energy.
Who she is, and why this makes sense
Mol has been doing the prestige thing for years. Late-90s film folks remember her from Rounders with Matt Damon and Woody Allen's Celebrity opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. TV fans know the range: Boardwalk Empire, The Knick, American Gigolo, and even Yellowstone, where she played Evelyn Dutton in flashbacks. Across film, TV, and stage, she has built a reputation for grounded, unshowy work that still hits hard — exactly the sort of presence you want in a pressure-cooker crime drama.
Who she is playing in Tulsa King
Mol has officially joined Season 4 as Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician and series regular — a move confirmed by Deadline and echoed all over social media. The character is deliberately under wraps, but the logline puts Clark in the city’s political machinery, which is fresh territory for the series. Up to now, Tulsa King has mostly lived in the world of crews, turf battles, and Dwight Manfredi trying to carve out power. Dropping a politician into that mix should widen the playing field in a fun way.
Because she is a series regular, expect her to be around consistently in Season 4. Paramount+ has not announced episode count or a specific arc for Clark yet, and the show is keeping the details tight. Still, this is one of the biggest Season 4 cast moves so far, and it clearly signals the show broadening its world.
Where Season 4 stands right now
Tulsa King is officially marching into a fourth season. Paramount+ confirmed the renewal in late 2025, and the announcement landed ahead of the Season 3 finale — a pretty clear vote of confidence in the series and in Sylvester Stallone as Dwight 'The General' Manfredi.
Behind the scenes, there are some meaningful shifts. Terence Winter, who helped get the show off the ground before stepping away, is back as executive producer and head writer (per Deadline). On top of that, there has been a notable reshuffle across multiple production departments as Season 4 gears up. The tone of the show is not changing, but the creative refresh is very much in play.
There is no premiere date or plot breakdown yet. Filming is lined up primarily in Georgia, continuing the approach the production has used in recent seasons. Casting news is still rolling out as departments lock in.
- Gretchen Mol joins as Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician and series regular
- Renewal for Season 4 was confirmed by Paramount+ in late 2025, ahead of the Season 3 finale
- Sylvester Stallone returns as Dwight 'The General' Manfredi
- Terence Winter is back as executive producer and head writer
- Production departments are being reshuffled heading into the new episodes
- Filming is set primarily in Georgia; no premiere date or plot details yet
Bottom line: Mol is a smart addition for a show built on tension, shifting loyalties, and moral gray zones. Between her, Stallone holding down the center, and Winter returning at the keyboard, Season 4 is shaping up with some strong anchors — even if the specifics are still sealed.
All three seasons of Tulsa King are streaming now on Paramount+.
