PRODUCTION COMMENCES ON SEASON TWO OF PARAMOUNT+’S ORIGINAL SERIES TULSA KING, STARRING OSCAR® NOMINEE SYLVESTER STALLONE
TULSA KING Is Produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios
The Comedy Is Set to Film in Oklahoma and Atlanta with Golden Globe® Nominee Craig Zisk on Board to Direct and Executive Produce; Academy Award® Nominee Terence Winter Returns to Write and Executive Produce
April 1, 2024 – Paramount+ today announced that production is underway on the highly anticipated second season of the hit original series TULSA KING, starring Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone. Executive produced by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan, the comedy is set to film in Oklahoma and Atlanta with multi-award nominee Craig Zisk (Weeds, The Larry Sanders Show) set to direct and executive produce. Academy Award nominee Terence Winter (The Wolf of Wall Street, The Sopranos) is slated to return as writer and executive producer. TULSA KING is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios exclusively for Paramount+.
TULSA KING continues to be one of Paramount+’s most-watched series of all-time, ranking second only behind Sheridan’s 1923. The premiere of the series in November 2022, coupled with NFL ON CBS, set a new record at the time for subscriber growth in a single day since Paramount+’s launch, and was the most-watched series on the service while in-season. Season one of TULSA KING will make its broadcast debut on the CBS Television Network this summer prior to the launch of season two this fall. This is the most recent example of Paramount Global’s strategy that brings Paramount+ originals to new audiences on its linear platforms.
The series follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi, just after he is released from prison after 25 years and is unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 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.
Season one recurring stars Annabella Sciorra and Tatiana Zappardino have been upped to series regulars for the second season, alongside an incredible ensemble cast that includes Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza and Jay Will, with Garrett Hedlund and Dana Delany.
Creator and Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan returns as executive producer. TULSA KING also is executive produced by Sylvester Stallone, David C. Glasser, Terence Winter, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin and Braden Aftergood. In addition to TULSA KING, Sheridan’s growing slate on Paramount+ includes 1883 and MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN, which is currently in production on its third season, SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS, LAWMEN: BASS REEVES, 1923, which will be going into production on its second season later this year, and the upcoming all-new series LANDMAN, starring Billy Bob Thornton.
The first season of TULSA KING is available to binge exclusively on Paramount+. For more information about Paramount+ and TULSA KING, please visit www.paramountplus.com and follow @ParamountPlus and @TulsaKingTV on Facebook, and @TulsaKing on TikTok, Instagram and X.

There’s a brand-new retro-styled Rugrats game coming out later this year, with a free demo currently available for a limited time. Here’s what to know, and how to claim it.
A brand-new retro-styled Rugrats video game is coming soon, but some players can already check out a free demo.
Rugrats premiered in August 1991 are one of Nickelodeon's original Nicktoons. Depicting the trials and tribulations of the adult world through the eyes of adventurous babies, Rugrats is perhaps the quintessential '90s cartoon, a perfect example of the Klasky Csupo style that dominated the decade. The revival series, also called Rugrats, is currently in its second season on Paramount+, but the new game clings more closely to the original.
Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is scheduled for release in March 2024, but there's already a playable demo via Steam Next Fest. Developed by The MIX Games and Wallride, Adventures in Gameland is a 2D platformer starring the Rugrats - Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Phil, and Lil - as they traverse six grown-up-size levels full of challenges. Each baby has their own unique abilities to help with overcoming distinct obstacles. Babies can be swapped in and out mid-level for a flexible puzzle-solving experience.
Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is playable in two game modes: one that resembles the classic 8-bit style of The Rugrats Movie for the Game Boy Color, and another with hand-drawn art identical to the original cartoon. It features both single-player and two-player split-screen, with players working together to do what a baby's gotta do. As a result, it's designed largely for co-op, with each player controlling a member of the Rugrats crew.
On release, Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland will be available for all modern platforms: Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and NES. That's right - through collaboration with Limited Run Games, there will be a special, physical NES edition of Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland, which should be available for pre-order soon. This will likely be a very limited edition, as demand for NES games has understandably gone down in the past 30-odd years. No price or final release date has been announced for the full game yet, but with a demo already available, it probably won't be long.
The playable demo is part of Steam Next Fest, an annual celebration of upcoming releases by the digital game store. It'll only be available only while the event is ongoing, from February 5 through February 12, and can be claimed through the game's official Steam page. Unfortunately, that means the Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland demo is only playable on PC. Those using other platforms will have to wait for March to see what Adventures in Gameland has to offer.
Between nods to the NES era and fresh gameplay, Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is the perfect way to discover or rediscover a love for the classic cartoon. Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is available as a free demo via Steam Next Fest until February 12, with a full release to follow next month.
Limited Run - A New Game for the Old Nintendo | IGN
We stopped by the Limited Run Games booth at PAX East 2024 in Boston to check out some of their upcoming games, including an all-new Rugrats game originally created for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This isn't a port of an old game, either: it's an all-new platformer coming to consoles and PC with modern graphics… that you can switch to the old 8-bit style when you're feeling nostalgic. We also checked out Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, Renaine, and Rose and Camellia Collection, which is described as "anime Downton Abby with slapping." And of course, we picked up a thing or two at the booth for ourselves. I mean, we were there anyway.

Star Trek Discovery Season 5 Interview: Sonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jones, Wilson Cruz, David Ajala | Collider Interviews
Back in 2017, the ever-expanding final frontier took fans on a new adventure in Star Trek: Discovery. Five seasons later, viewers will say goodbye to this chapter in the final fifth season, which introduced us to a brand-new crew of starfaring adventurers. What better way to celebrate the finale and the U.S.S. Discovery’s last mission with us than the world premiere of Season 5, Episode 1, “Red Directive,” at SXSW 2024?
While at SXSW, lead and Season 5 executive producer Sonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jones, Wilson Cruz, Blu del Barrio, David Ajala, and Mary Wiseman joined us in the Collider media studio for their world premiere farewell. It's an emotional conversation where the Discovery crew shares special moments from filming Season 5.
'Star Trek: Discovery' Comes to an End in Season 5
"It means as much to us as it does to them," Martin-Green says of their time on the series.
It was clear that saying goodbye to Discovery was a struggle for this cast. Not only are they bringing their journey with one another to an end, but with the fans, as well. They reflect on their characters' growth, the highs and the lows, and also share the impact that the fandom has had on their lives.
Of her interactions with fans, Martin-Green recalls the unforgettable moments she's had:
"‘I decided not to take my own life because of your show.’ ‘My family has been brought together because of your show.’ ‘I know how to end the cycle of racism in my family because of your show.’ ‘I will go into STEM because of your show.’ ‘Now I’ll speak up at work because of your show.’ ‘Now I’ll follow my dreams because of your show.’ It has been so many stories. There are too many for us to say."
Cruz goes on to say:
"To see young LGBTQ+ fans wearing that white uniform, trying to emulate Culber in some way, having young queer people saying, ‘I want a career in medicine because you’ve inspired that in me,’ that’s why we do this kind of work — to inspire people to do better, to be better. This franchise has always done that for people, but to now be the cause of someone’s inspiration in that way is overwhelming. I love meeting the fans. I love that there is such passion in the fandom for this show. We never claimed to want to be everything to everyone, but we wanted to be the best version of ourselves for people who are going to receive it in that spirit, and we’ve done that."
Check out the full interview below or tune into the video above with Steve Weintraub for Season 5 teases, what they took from set, memories, and tons more. It's a great and emotional conversation.

Veronika | Premiere Event in Stockholm | SkyShowtime
This week marked a special night in Sweden as SkyShowtime proudly hosted an exclusive premiere at venue Bio Fågel Blå in Stockholm to mark the launch of the latest SkyShowtime Original Series - Swedish crime thriller Veronika. The series will be available to stream exclusively on the service from 22 March.
Hosted by esteemed Swedish TV-personality Amie Bramme Sey, the event was opened by SkyShowtime CEO Monty Sarhan, and lead actress and Executive Producer Alexandra Rapaport. Stars from the series cast and crew appeared on the red carpet ahead of the premiere alongside well-known faces from the world of culture and entertainment.
In this series set in a small town, police officer Veronika Gren (Alexandra Rapaport), a mother of two, struggles with her complicated family life and a secret pill addiction. When strange things start to happen and a deceased boy appears before her, Veronika thinks she’s lost her mind. Reluctantly, Veronika is forced to accept that the boy may not be an illusion. Soon Veronika finds herself in a murder investigation that goes deeper than anyone in town would like to believe, when she learns about the murder of two teenage girls. She must uncover the truth and find the connection between the cases to prevent the killer from striking again. But will anyone believe her?
The eight-part series is created and scripted by Katja Juras and Anna Lindblom (Gåsmamman) and helmed by acclaimed director Jonas Alexander Arnby (War of the Worlds), recipient of three nominations at the Cannes Film Festival for When Animals Dream. Veronika was shot on location in Sweden in Dannemora, Gimo and Österbybruk.
