‘Tulsa King’: Terence Winter Stepping Down As Showrunner Ahead of Season 2 Of Paramount+ Series
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Paramount+’s mob drama Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone, will have a new showrunner for Season 2.
Terence Winter is stepping down from the post while remaining an executive producer on the series from Yellowstone‘s Taylor Sheridan and focusing on other projects, including a top-secret streaming series with frequent collaborator Martin Scorsese and a limited series about New York Mets’ historic 1986 run, which has been a passion of his for a while, I hear.
Search is under way for a new Tulsa King showrunner. According to sources, Winter’s departure as showrunner stems from creative differences.
As evident from Deadline’s interview with Winter ahead of Tulsa King‘s November premiere, he and Sheridan, on whose initial idea the show was based, had different visions for the series and the main character. (In the interview, Winter also speaks about how much he enjoyed working with Stallone, occasionally dropping Rocky questions that Stallone was happy to answer.)
