Exclusive: Critical Content, the production company behind Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia and Sylvester Stallone documentary Sly, is at a crossroads.

Deadline understands that the company has put a number of its television staff on furlough. Some employees have been largely out of work since the end of March, but the company has been offering a few paid hours to “keep up appearances,” one source said.

Critical Content, which is also behind NBC’s Celebrity Game Face, Discovery’s Survive the Raft and MTV’s Catfish, is not the first unscripted-focused company to “right-size” its business in a challenging environment, and insiders at the company said the hope was it would be able to bring back these employees.

There has been talk within the unscripted TV industry that Critical’s parent company Sk Global, the film financier behind Crazy Rich Asians, has been considering selling the business.

But the company...

Award-winning Bollywood superstar Kangana Ranaut has been set to lead horror-drama Blessed Be the Evil, marking Ranaut’s first Hollywood mainstream feature role.

Tyler Posey and Scarlet Rose Stallone (“Tulsa King”), daughter of actor Sylvester Stallone, will co-star in the film inspired by Indian folklore.

In Blessed Be the Evil, “After a devastating miscarriage, a Christian couple tries to move forward by buying an abandoned farm with a dark past. Soon their love and faith are tested by a malevolent presence.”

Anurag Rudra (New Me) will direct from a screenplay written by Rudra and Gatha Tiwary, President and Founder of Lions Movies, who announced the horror drama today. Both Rudra and Tiwary will produce the film. Award-winning cinematographer Wade Muller is set as Director of Photography.

“Being born and spending my childhood in rural India, I was told stories that got embedded in my mind and heart,” said Rudra. “This...

Taylor Sheridan absolutely dominates Paramount+! The Yellowstone creator's shows have been so successful on the streamer, and he's also branched out in creating others for the platform that aren't a part of the franchise. One of them is Sylvester Stallone-led series Tulsa King. We've been waiting to hear when season 3 arrives. Well, you don't have to wait any longer!

In a surprising turn of events, Tulsa King season 3 is set to premiere in September 2025. That is actually a bit earlier than expected. But, hey. We won't complain! The news was announced during a Paramount Earnings Call for Q1 2025 where the company dropped many updates about its upcoming content. Thankfully, the crime drama was one of them.

The second season premiered in September 2024 and came to a close in November of that year. So Paramount+ is setting the release window about a year from when season 2 debuted. This is really...

Two critically-panned Sylvester Stallone sequels have seen their reputations improve over time, newly-compiled data shows. The Tulsa King star is still going strong into the 2020s, cashing in on the legendary status he attained largely in the 1980s, and largely thanks to his pair of cash-machine franchises, Rocky and Rambo. Though Stallone’s two signature series were always big hits with audiences, critics frequently had misgivings about his Rocky and Rambo sequels, as both franchises evolved to become bigger, splashier and less grounded in reality.

But at least two of Stallone’s initially-maligned sequels have seen an upward critical reassessment in recent years, with both Rocky IV and Rambo: First Blood Part II receiving more acclaim over time, as shown in data compiled by Stat Significant. Using ratings collected by MovieLens, the statisticians show that Rocky IV has seen a 26% increase in positive appraisal, while Rambo II has gone up...

In some cases below, you have a day to watch the films. For instance, if you are a huge Sylvester Stallone fan, you might want to take the day off of work, like right now. Call in and say you have to stay home and stream Netflix.

In another case, a project featuring Jon Hamm at his goofiest disappears. The movie offers something different, though. Without going too much into detail (no spoilers here!), let's say you can decide what happens to Hamm's character.

If you are a fan of Madam Secretary but only want to watch it on Netflix, you are almost out of time. In the coming week, the entire series will be removed from your favorite streamer. Here is when it leaves.

The National Film Award-winning actress will reportedly play a leading role in an upcoming horror film titled ‘Blessed Be the Evil’ co-starring Sylvester Stallone’s daughter Scarlet Rose Stallone, who previously starred in her father’s critically acclaimed gangster drama series ‘Tulsa King’. Tyler Posey of Teen Wolf fame will also star in the movie. The film will be directed by Anurag Rudra, who has previously helmed another horror film, ‘New Me’.

Blessed Be the Evil – Plot & Filming Details

The film’s basic plot ostensibly revolves around a Christian couple who are trying to come to terms with a heartbreaking miscarriage...

Award-winning Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut is crossing over to Hollywood, landing her first leading role in the horror drama “Blessed Be the Evil.”

The project, from Lions Movies, will see Ranaut star alongside Tyler Posey (“Teen Wolf”) and Scarlet Rose Stallone (“Tulsa King”).

Production is set to begin this summer in New York, with producers specifically noting they chose U.S. locations to “avoid running into any uncertainties stemming from the recently announced Trump industry tariffs.”

Director Anurag Rudra will helm from a screenplay he co-wrote with Gatha Tiwary, president and founder of Lions Movies. Both will serve as producers, with Wade Muller confirmed as director of photography.

According to the synopsis, the film follows a Christian couple who, after experiencing a devastating miscarriage, purchase an abandoned farm with a dark past. Their love and faith are soon tested by a malevolent presence.

We don't have to wait long for the next new season of several Taylor Sheridan shows!

After Yellowstone came to an end earlier this year, Paramount revealed the release plans for four new seasons of Taylor Sheridan's shows, including Landman season 2, Tulsa King season 3, Mayor Kingstown season 4, and the first season of the new Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch.

During the latest Paramount Earnings Call for Q1 2025, Paramount gave investors and fans of the Taylor Sheridan shows a look at the upcoming release schedule for four of Sheridan's shows. We shared the release months for each of the shows.

For those keeping track at home, that means we're getting a new episodes of Sheridan's shows every month from at least September through December 2025. Landman and Dutton Ranch, depending on when they premiere in November, could even continue into January 2026.

Paramount+ didn't announce any release dates yet, but those will surely...

It has been almost 43 years since Rocky III was released and became a blockbuster hit. Sylvester Stallone as Rocky became a phenomenon. It was a presentation of sheer hard work and unbreakable will. The movie had some of the most iconic single lines, like ‘There is no tomorrow,’ that can motivate someone without any Ted talk.

Rocky III’s immense success was also possible because of the inclusion of a WWE legend, Hulk Hogan, who portrayed a fictional wrestler named Thunderlips. Stallone has appreciated Hogan multiple times for his efforts, dedication, and even his sheer power.

Hogan was also the perfect fit for the film because of his wrestling moves. He knew how to execute a fake punch properly, with minimal damage, producing real results that impressed Stallone.

Sylvester Stallone recalls how even the fake punches from Hulk Hogan had sheer power Hulk Hogan and Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III...

Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa once said, “It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” He would be so happy if he had watched Thunderbolts, for it gave us not just The New Avengers but Bob, aka Sentry, aka The Void, because no matter how hard you hit him, he won’t feel a thing. and he just keeps moving forward.

But think about what would’ve happened if the film had come before Avengers: Endgame (2019) had hit the theaters. All we can think about is Thanos’ children; they would’ve become orphans, of course, before he killed them all. Remember that Doctor Strange of Earth-838 defeated the Thanos of their universe single-handedly in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? Well, don’t get so hyped up; that Strange was literally an abomination; don’t go that way.

According to Variety, Kevin Pollack has joined the cast of Tulsa King season 3. He is set to appear as a series regular playing Special Agent Musso. His character has been described as “an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.”

The casting news comes after the third season of Paramount+’s Tulsa King went into production in Atlanta and Oklahoma in March. Pollack is a well-respected stand-up comedian and actor. His roles include playing Moishe in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and appearing in Martin Scorsese’s Casino and A Few Good Men.

Pollack will join Sylvester Stallone and a stellar cast, which includes Frank Grillo, Garrett Hedlund, and Dana Delany. Pollack isn’t the only new cast member for the upcoming series of Tulsa King. Bella Heathcote is also set to join season 3, playing Cleo Montague, described as “a Tulsa native born and raised, and the daughter of a distillery owner,...

Why Did Arnold Schwarzenegger Skip Terminator: Salvation? ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

Terminator is one of the most popular film franchises in the world, and an iconic part of that franchise is Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has been associated with the franchise since its inception with The Terminator (1984), in which he played the antagonist, a killer machine sent from the future to prevent resistance leader John Connor from ever existing by murdering his mother, Sarah Connor. From Terminator 2: Judgment Day onwards, he mostly switched gears to become a protector. However, he is notably absent from one film in the franchise, Terminator: Salvation.

Why Wasn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger Part Of Terminator: Salvation?

Just after the release of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in July 2003, Schwarzenegger announced his entry into politics by running for the office of Governor of California. He won the election and remained in office until 2011.

As a result,...

Arnold Schwarzenegger V/S Sylvester Stallone Net Worth 2025 ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia )

When it comes to Hollywood legends, few names shine brighter than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. These two icons have not only dominated the box office for decades but also built empires far beyond the silver screen. But in 2025, who reigns supreme in terms of wealth? Let’s break down their net worth and find out which action hero has a bigger net worth to flex.

What Is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Net Worth in 2025?

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s journey to wealth is just as impressive as his muscles once were. As per Forbes, Arnold Schwarzenegger holds an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion in 2025. The superstar stands as one of the highest-paid actors of all time, earning around $500 million through his films. His blockbuster hits such as the Terminator franchise, Commando, Predator, Batman and Robin, and many more made him a household name.

Top Hollywood studio execs are scheduled to hold a call with Motion Pictures Association chair-ceo Charles Rivkin on Friday to discuss President Donald Trump’s surprise proposal to impose tariffs on movies shot outside of the United States, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The film industry was left reeling over the weekend after Trump took to social media on Sunday to proclaim that it’s time to “make Hollywood great again” and that shooting films in other countries is nothing short of a threat to national security.

The very next morning, however, the White House seemed to downplay Trump’s decree when issuing a statement clarifying that “no final decisions have been made” regarding such tariffs.

So far, the MPA — which is the main trade organization representing movie studios and their parent companies — has yet to officially respond to Trump’s comments regarding tariffs. (Also on Sunday, he suggested reopening...

Yes, this is real. Rocky Balboa, the underdog Philadelphia boxer created by Sylvester Stallone for the seminal 1976 sports movie "Rocky," was once included as a member of G.I. Joe. It seems that Rocky's powerful punches -- and ability to take them -- made him ideally suited to fight the high-tech international terrorist organization Cobra. As such, he became a team member with outlandish ultra-soldiers like Blowtorch, Gung-Ho, Snake Eyes, and, uh, Footloose.

The version of G.I. Joe in question was part of the property's popular rebranding from 1982. The then-new brand was subtitled "A Real American Hero" and is deeply familiar to individuals who are now pushing 50. It was a massive cross-media enterprise launched by Hasbro as a means of taking over a large portion of the toy market. "A Real American Hero" also involved a newly-relaunched toyline, which boasted a new menagerie of cartoonish characters figures that only...

We might not have a release date yet, but Tulsa King Season 3 is officially underway — and Sylvester Stallone is already stirring the pot. The action legend took to Instagram to tease what's coming next for his fish-out-of-water mobster Dwight “The General” Manfredi, and according to Stallone, the plan for the new season is nothing short of devious. That’s right — Dwight’s return to Tulsa isn’t going to be smooth sailing. But did anyone really expect it would be?

“This is my friend, Frank Grillo,” Stallone says in a new behind-the-scenes video, as filming for Season 3 continues. “We’re about to do something a little devious in the name of commerce. It’s not like we’re thieves, right? We’re actually trying to retrieve what belongs to us. I have a feeling it’s going to go sideways.” Grillo — who joined the series in Season 2 as dangerous businessman Bill Bevilaqua — added,...

Despite starting as rivals in the ’80s due to their stature as some of the biggest action stars in the business, beyond the professional setting, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t bear any personal grudges. And by the time their stranglehold on the box office started to wane following the shift in the industry’s direction, they went on to become good pals and even appeared together in The Expendables.

While Schwarzenegger’s presence in the movie was limited, the following year, they both joined forces for Escape Plan, and with season 3 of Tulsa King on the horizon, hopefully, we’ll get to see more of them together.

While not exactly a critical darling, Escape Plan is still adored by a sizeable faction due to the chemistry between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone,...

Whoopi Goldberg is telling Donald Trump to “please stop” when it comes to Hollywood and movie tariffs. Trump caused shock and confusion in the film and TV industries this week by writing on social media that he had authorized the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to initiate steps to impose a 100% tariff on films made overseas.

“Okay, look, you can’t do that,” Goldberg fired back on “The View” (via EW). “What that equates to is, you’re going to tell me how to write the story I want to write if it happens in Europe? Look, could you please lower the price of eggs before you start this?”

“When you go over to another country to work, you work with the people who are there,” the Egot winner continued. “We don’t import our folks to go over there. Who are you going to put this tariff on?...

The actor was once one of the most commanding men in Hollywood – yet he has now teamed up with the president to help ruin the industry

It’s a plain-sight not-quite-twist that was sitting in front of us this whole time. Following Donald Trump’s selection of the hilariously cursed trio of Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight for a made-up ambassadorship to Hollywood back in January, it was revealed that the position may not be ceremonial after all; it was actually Voight himself who helped goad Trump into making that bizarre statement about placing a 100% tariff on foreign-made films.

The president has since clarified that he was “exploring all options” for revitalizing the US film industry; hopefully that includes some sample plans from Gibson and Stallone, too. (We can assume Stallone’s involves a 44-page treatment for a movie where Rocky Balboa returns to the ring and becomes...

Jon Hamm won't be part of "Landman" season 2, at least not unless it's through dream or flashback sequences. That's because his character, Monty, dies in season 1, but Hamm is confident that Demi Moore's Cami will fill the void he's leaving behind in future episodes of Taylor Sheridan's oil drama. That remains to be seen, but viewers will probably miss seeing Hamm's no-nonsense oil mogul chopping it up with Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris.

The good news, though, is that the actor only had positive experiences working on "Landman" and even went so far as to describe it as the best audition he's ever had during an interview with "The Rich Eisen Show" (via Whiskey Riff). So, what made Sheridan's series stand out from the countless other auditions he's had to endure? According to Hamm:

"[Sheridan] has this massive ranch down in West Texas in Weatherford –- just west of Fort Worth.

Updated 9am Pt May 8 to reflect changes to AI Summit: Brady Corbet’s Oscar and Globe-winning drama The Brutalist wound up in the eye of a brief awards season storm in January after it emerged that AI had been used to modify the dialogue of its co-stars Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones.

The storm was downgraded to a squall after Corbet explained that his sound team had worked with Ukrainian AI voice company Respeecher to “refine certain vowels and letter for accuracy” in the co-stars’ Hungarian-language dialogue, while English-language dialogue had not been touched.

Four months on, Respeecher CEO and co-founder Alex Serdiuk will be at the Cannes Marché du Film for a panel entitled ‘AI Voices for Hollywood and Beyond’, which will touch on the company’s involvement in The Brutalist as well as Jacques Audiard’s 2024 Cannes Jury Prize and Oscar winner Emilia Pérez.

Following President Donald Trump’s recent threat that he will hit movies made in foreign countries with 100% tariffs has Hollywood panicking. But, according to Tom Cruise fans, the Mission: Impossible star and action icon is guaranteed to set Trump straight.

The President of the United States threatened movies made outside America with 100% tariffs over the weekend, and while many have revealed how such a move would be extremely difficult, this has caused panic within the industry, which is still feeling the effects of both the Covid pandemic and the strikes in 2023.

Now, Tom Cruise fans have shared their thoughts on the situation, and believe that the Top Gun actor, who is often hailed as the last, true movie star and the savior of movies, will put a stop to Trump’s latest act of madness. Many have used both his infamous tirade behind-the-scenes of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and his Tropic Thunder character,...

Jon Voight confirmed that he “brought forward recommendations” to President Donald Trump for tariffs on movies made outside the U.S.

After Trump announced he is authorizing the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to start the process for enacting a 100 percent tariff on American films that are produced in “foreign lands,” it was speculated that Voight was responsible. Now the actor has released a short video describing his intentions.

“I recently met with our president, Donald J. Trump, who loves the entertainment business,” Voight says in the video,...

Donald Trump has insisted he wants to "help" the film industry.Earlier this week, the President of the United States has announced plans to impose 100 percent tariffs on foreign-made movies, and now he has claimed he will "meet" with those in the business to ensure everyone is "happy" with his proposals.According to CNBC, he told reporters in the Oval Office: "I’m not looking to hurt the industry; I want to help the industry."We’re going to meet with the industry. I want to make sure they’re happy with it, because we’re all about jobs."Hollywood veteran Jon Voight - who was named Special Ambassador to Hollywood in January 2025 alongside Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson - has insisted the potential measures will help US studios "thrive".He said in a statement: "We look forward to working with the administration, the unions, studios, and streamers to help...

As Donald Trump wants to introduce tariffs for films and TV shows made outside America, there’s a chance emerging to reset parts of the entertainment industry.

There’s a line in 1988’s Die Hard, where the villainous Hans Gruber is – spoiler light! – looking to smoke out John McClane. As part of that, into the frame comes the coked-up (in two senses) character of Ellis. It’s a beautifully played moment in a much-loved movie, and Alan Rickman’s Gruber ultimately declares to McClane that “sooner or later, I might get to someone you do care about.”

Following the second coming of US President Donald Trump has been a bit like that for many. He appears to be throwing darts at an assortment of targets, in an attempt to provoke a reaction. If he’s not irked you yet, rest assured he’s going to keep trying, and is likely...

As Donald Trump and the White House toned down tariff talk on Monday, the conversation shifted to the notion of a federal incentive and other measures as “Hollywood ambassador” Jon Voight outlined a plan that was light on detail.

Voight, who won the Oscar for Coming Home in 1979, attended Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to present his plan after reportedly meeting with Hollywood guilds, studios, and streamers.

According to a press release issued on behalf of Voight and his special advisor Steven Paul, the actor is proposing federal tax incentives, “significant changes” to several tax codes, the establishment of international co-production treaties,...

As Donald Trump and the White House toned down tariff talk on Monday following the US president’s explosive proposal to slap a 100% tax on non-us films, the conversation shifted to a federal incentive as an outline emerged of a proposal by “Hollywood ambassador” Jon Voight.

Voight, who won the Oscar for Coming Home in 1979, attended Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to present the plan after reportedly meeting with Hollywood guilds, studios, and streamers.

According to a press release on Monday afternoon, Voight is proposing federal tax incentives, “significant changes” to several tax codes, the establishment of international co-production treaties, and infrastructure subsidies for exhibitors,...

Actor Jon Voight met with President Donald Trump over the weekend in Mar-a-Lago to formally pitch his plans on how to bring production back stateside, and tariffs are only a small part of that plan.

Voight along with his manager and producer Steven Paul and Sp Media Group and Atlas Comics President Scott Karol submitted a comprehensive plan to President Trump after several months of meeting with several dozen film and TV organizations and leaders across Hollywood about how to increase domestic film production.

Per a release, the proposal includes “federal tax incentives, significant changes to several tax codes, the establishment of co-production treaties with foreign countries, and infrastructure subsidies for theater owners, film and television production companies, and post-production companies.” But in addition to saying Voight’s proposal has a focus on job training, it also only suggests “tariffs in certain limited circumstances.”

That would seem to go against...

Actor Jon Voight and his producing partner, Steven Paul, said Monday that they had submitted to President Trump a “comprehensive” plan to rescue the entertainment industry.

The plan includes federal incentives for production and post-production, co-production treaties with foreign countries as well as infrastructure subsidies for theater owners and production companies, job training, and changes to the tax code. The plan also calls for tariffs in “certain limited circumstances.”

“The President loves the entertainment business and this country, and he will help us make Hollywood great again,” Voight said in a statement.

Voight is one of three “special ambassadors” appointed by Trump to address Hollywood issues, along with Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson. Voight, Paul and Sp Media Group/Atlas Comics President Scott Karol met with Trump over the weekend at Mar-a-Lago to present their proposal.

After the meeting, Trump announced on Truth Social that he would be authorizing a 100% tariff on foreign-made films,...

Tulsa King has cast famed comedian Kevin Pollak for a major role in Season 3. The Sylvester Stallone-starring crime drama was renewed for a third season in March.

Pollak will be joining the Paramount+ series as FBI Special Agent Musso, who enters the story "with an axe to grind." Agent Musso is certain to cause problems for Dwight "The General" Manfred (Stallone) as he establishes a mafia foothold in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This role will be as a series regular, making Pollak's part much more than a guest appearance.

"I’ve been an admirer of Sly’s throughout his entire career and could not be more excited to be a part of this stellar cast and extraordinary production," Pollak said in a statement.

President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry on Sunday with a social media post threatening tariffs on international productions.

“The Movie Industry in America is Dying a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated,” Trump wrote. “This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. We Want Movies Made In America, Again!”

Typical of the president, the proclamation came with few details and was quickly denounced as unlikely,...

Liberation Day has come for Hollywood. If you thought the movie industry had dodged a bullet after President Trump reversed course the last time, think again.

That’s the feeling around town after Trump’s Sunday surprise announcement that he would be instituting a “100 percent tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. We Want Movies Made In America, Again!” (emphasis and Trumpian capitalization all his).

He also said the movie industry is “Dying a very fast death,” and that the incentives other countries are offering amounts to a “National Security threat.”

We’ve noted before that Trump, is in some ways, right about at least one part of this. FilmLA just released numbers saying on-location shoot days in Los Angeles were down 22.4 percent the first quarter of this year compared to 2024, and the impact to the local job market has been...

The Usual Suspects and Grumpy Old Men actor Kevin Pollak is heading to Tulsa, and he’s not looking to make friends. According to Variety, Kevin Pollak will join the Tulsa King Season 3 cast as Special Agent Musso, “an FBI agent with an axe to grind.”

The second season of Tulsa King ended on November 17, 2024, with some big plot threads wrapped up and other cliffhangers dangling. In the finale, Dwight had a final showdown with nemesis Cal Thresher (Neal McDonough), but let his adversary live. After Cal attempted to destroy Dwight by fixing his trial or attacking his wind farm, it was an intriguing development for the mobster to let his foe remain alive. It was also a wise decision, as the death of a prominent businessman would not have been easy to hide. Meanwhile, Dwight makes an unexpected friend out of Bill Bevilacqua (Frank Grillo), another enemy he must face.

We may not know when Tulsa King Season 3 will premiere on Paramount+, but star Sylvester Stallone is already teasing the "devious" plans to come for his popular crime drama. Premiering in 2022, Tulsa King sees Stallone as fish-out-of-water gangster Dwight "The General" Manfredi, who, after being banished from New York, takes up shop in Oklahoma to run his own crime syndicate that he starts from scratch. Season 2 saw the addition of fellow action great Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua, whom Dwight forged a shaky partnership with by the time it was all said and done.

It's the partnership that Stallone teased will continue in Season 3 in a new Instagram video he posted yesterday (seen below). With production on Tulsa King Season 3 now in full-swing, the star shared a little behind-the-scenes tidbit with Grillo, noting that the pair are set to get up to something pretty juicy next season. "This is my friend,...

Tulsa King star Neal McDonough shares a new update on season 3, teasing how his villain has become even more powerful. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the hit Paramount+ series returned for season 2 last year, introducing a handful of new characters as Sylvester Stallone's Dwight "The General" Manfredi attempts to secure his criminal empire. McDonough's Cal Thresher, a major player in Oklahoma's drug trade, was one such new character, and he's now poised to return in Tulsa King season 3, which is now in production.

In a recent interview with Collider, McDonough reveals that Thresher comes back in a big way in Tulsa King season 3, now serving as the governor of Oklahoma. The star explains that this evolution for Thresher was actually his idea, and executive producer David Glasser ended up writing it into the show. Check out McDonough's explanation below:

“Now I play the governor on this season of Tulsa King.

Donald Trump’s plan to slap movies made outside the United States with a 100 percent tariff was apparently the brain child of actor Jon Voight.

According to Politico, a source close to the White House credited the policy to the actor, who was earlier this year named one of Trump’s “special ambassadors” to Hollywood (alongside Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone). Ben Allen, a California state senator from the Los Angeles area who’s active in the world of Hollywood tax credits, also said he heard from Voight about the...

One of TV’s most versatile funnymen is heading to the world of mobsters and misfits. Kevin Pollak, best known for playing Moishe Maisel on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, has officially joined Season 3 of Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King on Paramount+ as a series regular, Variety is reporting this morning. Pollak is going to be playing Special Agent Musso, described as “an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.” If that sounds like trouble for Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi… it probably is.

Production on Tulsa King Season 3 began back in March in Atlanta and Oklahoma, with Stallone returning to lead the cast as Dwight, the exiled New York mobster-turned-Oklahoma crime lord. Pollak joins a stacked ensemble that includes returning stars Martin Starr, Jay Will, Annabella Sciorra, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany, Vincent Piazza, Neal McDonough, and Robert Patrick, alongside newcomers like Frank Grillo, Michael Beach, James Russo,...

Tulsa King has now been officially renewed for a third season at Paramount+, and the Taylor Sheridan drama has the chance to continue even beyond that — maybe to Season 4 and beyond. Before Paramount+ confirmed the Season 3 news on social media, announcing the start of production on March 18, Deadline reported that Sylvester Stallone was in final contract negotiations to return for two more seasons, after which the streamer would make it official. So what we do know about a potential Tulsa King Season 3 so far? Here’s a look. When will Tulsa King Season 3 premiere? It’s too early to know when the new season will premiere, but according to a social media update, production has officially begun.

Neal McDonough has made a career out of playing men with power, precision, and a slightly terrifying edge — and now he’s bringing that energy to Tulsa King in a big way. During a conversation about his upcoming movie The Last Rodeo, the actor confirmed to Collider that he’s returning for Season 3 of Taylor Sheridan’s hit Paramount+ crime drama, and this time, he’s not just playing a territorial businessman. He’s stepping into office. That’s a major upgrade from Season 2, where McDonough was introduced as Cal Thresher, a wealthy and fiercely territorial local power broker. Described as a “powerful and extremely territorial businessman,” Thresher was already a problem for Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi—now, as governor, he’s a full-blown political and criminal threat rolled into one. McDonough told Collider:

“Now I play the governor on this season of Tulsa King. We were with David Glasser [executive producer] last year,...

Although Taylor Sheridan will probably go down in history as the author of Yellowstone more than anything else, his crime drama Tulsa King has also been very successful since its 2022 debut on Paramount+.

The series, starring Sylvester Stallone, has been getting a lot of attention and for those who like this type of hard crime dramas, Tulsa King is, indeed, a series that they can thoroughly enjoy.

In light of that, you can imagine that there is a lot of interest in the series, and in light of that, we are happy to confirm that Stallone shared a new BTS video from the filming of Season 3 featuring one of the series’ favorite stars.

Although the entertainment business is still grappling with President Donald Trump’s post suggesting that a tariff on foreign-made films is in the works, the White House said in a clarifying statement Monday that “no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made.”

“Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump’s directive to safeguard our country’s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again,” White House spokesman Kush Desai tells The Hollywood Reporter.

The comment suggests that any further clarity on the tariffs, what form they would take, how they would be implemented, etc. will likely take some time to be revealed. It also suggests that the White House may be exploring what legal avenues it has to pursue them, given the complexities and uncertainties on implementing a tariff on what amounts...

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Tulsa King season 2.Tulsa King season 3 gets a new tease from Sylvester Stallone, teasing that one Dwight alliance with a season 2 antagonist will continue. Created by Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan, Stallone's hit Paramount+ series returned for its sophomore outing last September, continuing the story of Dwight "The General" Manfredi as he builds his criminal empire in Oklahoma. The season was a hit, and Tulsa King season 3 filming got underway this past March, with no release date for the new episodes set just yet.

In a new post on Instagram, Stallone teases some of what's to come from Tulsa King season 3, revealing that Dwight's uneasy alliance with Frank Grillo's Bill Bevilaqua will continue. In the post, Stallone stands on set with Grillo in a forest environment, revealing that Dwight and Bill are teaming up for a "devious" task. What that task is, however, is left a mystery.

Taylor Sheridan got his start writing action movies like Sicario and Sicario: Day of the Soldado, but after writing scripts for blockbusters for a few years, he made his famous transition to television. Sheridan began his work on TV with Yellowstone, the contemporary Western series starring Kevin Costner, which was such a success that it spawned two spin-off series. One of which, 1923, wrapped up its second and final season last month on April 6, but it has since returned to Paramount+ streaming charts almost exactly one month after going off the air, sitting at #10 at the time of writing. The show stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, and its second season earned a perfect 100% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a “rotten” 49% rating from general audiences.

Although Taylor Sheridan may have become best known for his work on Yellowstone and its subsequent spin-offs, he’s also created a handful of...

Shares of entertainment companies including Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global took a hit Monday as investors assessed Hollywood’s potential exposure to President Trump’s as-yet undefined vow to impose a 100% tariff on foreign-produced films.

At the open of the U.S. stock market regular trading Monday, Netflix’s stock was down -3.3%, Disney was -2.4%, Wbd was -4.2% and Paramount was -2.2%. The declines were steeper than in broader market indexes like the S&P 500 (-0.70%) and the Nasdaq Composite (-0.82%).

On Sunday, the U.S. president wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, that other countries are offering “all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States,” a “concerted effort” by those nations that represents “a National Security threat.” Trump said he is authorizing the Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative to “immediately begin the process...

President Donald Trump’s plan to enforce 100% tariff on foreign-produced films was met with shock and disbelief across the European film industry.

It was unclear how the levies, which were announced over the weekend on social media, would be enforced and which productions are most vulnerable to the tariffs. Yet, there are widespread concerns that if they are enacted, Trump’s latest moves have the potential to upend and potentially decimate a global film business that relies on a network of international incentives and foreign locations to make movies.

Everything from low-budget indies to studio blockbusters are currently being made in countries like the U.K., France, Germany, and Hungary. Even Mel Gibson, who is one of the three Hollywood special ambassadors appointed by Trump (the other two are Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight), is currently planning to shoot his “Passion of the Christ” sequel in Italy.

The reaction in the U.

With tax incentives and cheaper crews the motivation behind ‘Hollywood’ studios shooting in different countries, US President Donald Trump is relying on actors, filmmakers Mel Gibson, Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone as his administration’s special envoy ‘Ambassadors’ to convince the American film industry to bring it all back home:

“…the President previously announced on his social media site that the three actors would be his eyes and ears in the Hollywood moviemaking town…

“…looking for more ways and means…

“…to facilitate film production in California.

“It will again be, like ‘The United States of America’ itself…‘The Golden Age of Hollywood’…”

The ’80s were a heyday for the underdog. Whether the arena was the corporate workplace or the hormone hurricane of high school, bullies and their respective comeuppances were ubiquitous in the decade’s cinematic offerings. 1984’s The Karate Kid was one of the most popular David vs. Goliath offerings on the big screen, and its legacy goes way beyond fly-hunting with chopsticks, or beachfront training montages, or its litany of catchphrases. Through sequels, reboots and small screen re-invention, the legend of The Karate Kid spans decades, and continues to inspire and delight each new generation as they meet life’s great challenges.

So, given that the first four films have been given a splendid Blu-ray release (as well as the release of Cobra Kai on DVD) and in anticipation of the forthcoming shared universe blockbuster Karate Kid: Legends and the advent of our current giveaway for The Karate Kid on 4K Uhd,...
