The exorbitant salary for Stallone in the upcoming seasons shows how much faith Paramount+ is putting in the series. Their shows — includingLioness,Landman, and more — tend to incorporate well-known stars, creating the need for higher salaries. The star’s pay on these shows is not known, but even without a comparison point, it can be stated that Stallone’s salary is on the higher end. This big sum is indicative thatParamount+ believes in the success ofTulsa King, which further supports why season 3 was renewed.

Our Take On Stallone’s Tulsa King Salary
This Could Mean Even More Tulsa King Than What Is Already Announced
WhileTulsa Kingseason 4 is not confirmed, I see this news as a good sign of the show’s longevity. It seems unlikely that Stallone would want to step down from the show when it is making him so much money. Likewise, it would only be strategic for Paramount+ to spend this much on the series if they saw it as a significant investment, indicating that it could extend beyond season 3. With knowledge of Stallone’s salary, the show’s renewal seems all but confirmed if season 3 does as well as the first two installments.
