Tulsa King Season 3 Episode 3 Drops Soon: Release Date, Early Hints, and What’s Next
Tulsa King Season 3 Episode 3 lands October 5, 2025, and Dwight Manfredi is done playing nice—dodging the law, squeezing rivals, and tightening his grip on the liquor racket. With Episode 2 cranking the pressure thanks to Jeremiah Dunmire, Tulsa’s next showdown is primed to explode.
Dwight Manfredi is not easing off the gas. Tulsa King is back this weekend with Season 3, Episode 3, and the General is still trying to bulldoze his way through cops, rivals, and the liquor business, often at the same time. If you caught last week, you know the bourbon play just went from smart to dangerous.

Quick rewind: where Episode 2 left Dwight
Spoilers for Season 3, Episode 2 below.
Jeremiah Dunmire tossed a very clear threat at Dwight. Rather than blink, Dwight (Sylvester Stallone) doubled down on the bourbon angle. Cleo pulled the curtain back on a 50-year Montague family reserve — a stash shepherded through three generations — and the number attached to it is wild: more than $150 million if they can move it. No surprise the Dunmires want in, or want it gone.
The legit route is messy. Restarting and legalizing the Montague distillery is a maze of paperwork and pressure. Walden, who used to distribute for the Montagues, refused to rejoin — not out of principle, but because the Dunmires have him pinned. Bigfoot and Mitch clocked that, offered protection, and now that potential deal is simmering.
Meanwhile, Dwight shook hands with Bill Bevilaqua. It is the kind of alliance that either crowns him or blows up his entire board. And yes, Agent Musso has been quiet. Too quiet. Expect that silence to come with legal shrapnel when it breaks.
What to expect in Episode 3
This bourbon storyline is a little inside baseball, but it is the engine right now. If Dwight can secure distribution for that 50-year reserve and convert the distillery into a legit business, he could flip the whole liquor game into a lawful empire. If he can’t, he is stuck between a political squeeze and a street fight.
The big worry: a Bill Bevilaqua–Jeremiah Dunmire alignment. If those two find common ground, Dwight gets hit from both angles. Cal Thresher is also still in the mix, and Musso feels overdue for a reappearance with warrants, subpoenas, or both. I would expect Dwight to push harder on distribution, maybe outside the usual channels, which tends to invite gunfire in this show.
Series refresher
Just after he is released from prison after 25 years, New York mafia capo Dwight 'The General' Manfredi is unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a 'crew' from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.
Bottom line: Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King isn’t softening in Season 3. Does Dwight bottle a legal empire or get kneecapped before the first shipment leaves the warehouse? We’re about to find out.
Tulsa King Season 3 Episode 3 hits Paramount+ at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET on October 5, 2025. Team Dwight or Team Dunmire? Drop your theories — the wilder, the better.
