An Atlanta-based casting agency has parted ways with Paramount+’s Tulsa King following allegations that series star/executive producer Sylvester Stallone and an unnamed director denigrated background talent.
“We have chosen to part ways with Tulsa King,” Catrett Locke Casting shared on its Facebook page Sunday. “We will be finishing up next week and [April] 12th will be our last day. We send well wishes to whomever takes over the show. We thank all of you great background artists for your continued support.”

Tulsa King season 2 has now started shooting, and Deadline reports that Craig Zisk (Weeds) has signed on to direct and executive produce the Paramount+ series.
It was reported last year that showrunner Terence Winter would be stepping down from the series following some creative differences with creator Taylor Sheridan. However, he decided to come back as a writer for the second season, which would keep his interactions with Sheridan at a minimum.
While Winter is still involved as an executive producer, he will primarily focus on writing for the show as well as working closely with Sylvester Stallone. “He loves these characters and loved working with Sly and was glad his post-strike schedule allowed him to return to write but not run the show,” a source said. Instead of bringing in another showrunner, the production decided to follow in the footsteps of the other shows produced by Sheridan’s 101 Studios...

Sylvester Stallone, the action movie icon known for films like “Rocky” and “Rambo”, is a certified Hollywood A-lister. He took his talents to the small screen with the hit crime drama series, “Tulsa King”.
Sylvester Stallone || Tulsa King
The show follows Dwight Manfredi, a New York Mafia capo freshly released from prison after 25 years. Exiled by his boss and sent to set up shop in the unlikeliest of places – Tulsa, Oklahoma – Dwight must rebuild his criminal empire with a ragtag crew of unlikely allies.
Suggested“This is who I am”: Neither Rocky Nor Rambo, Sylvester Stallone Called Only One Role That Doesn’t Show Him as “Impaired” or “Dangerous”
“Tulsa King” quickly garnered a loyal fanbase, leaving them hungry for more after its successful first season. But will there be a season two? The answer, according to Stallone, might hinge on one key factor.

Deadline reports that The Sopranos creator David Chase is set to reteam with Terence Winter for an untitled horror movie set up at New Line Cinema.
David Chase is expected to direct the movie, which he will also co-write alongside Terence Winter. The plot details are being kept under wraps, but given the Sopranos pedigree, my mind immediately leaps to Cleaver, the fictional movie within the HBO series produced by Christopher Moltisanti. While I doubt that Chase and Winter are going the slasher route, it’s still fun to imagine.

Chase and Winter worked together on The Sopranos, with Winter writing or co-writing 25 episodes of the series, but this will be the first time they have reunited since the series came to an end and the first movie they will have collaborated on. Chase made his feature directorial debut on Not Fade Away,...

Tulsa King was a big hit for Paramount+, and they quickly renewed the series for season 2, but it was reported last year that showrunner Terence Winter would be stepping down due to creative differences with creator Taylor Sheridan. However, it looks like Winter will be returning for the second season after all.
Terence Winter won’t be reprising his role of showrunner for Tulsa King season 2 but will focus primarily on writing for the show as well as working closely with Sylvester Stallone. “He loves these characters and loved working with Sly and was glad his post-strike schedule allowed him to return to write but not run the show,” one source told THR. This new role will also limit his contact with Taylor Sheridan. The production will be bringing in an as-yet-unnamed-executive producer and director to assist on the production side, but won’t have a traditional showrunner.

Just when he thought he was out, they pulled him back in.
Emmy-winning writer Terence Winter is returning to Tulsa King.
The Sopranos veteran is back on board the Paramount+ drama after being the showrunner of its 2022 debut season. The series follows a former mobster, played by Sylvester Stallone, who forms a new crime empire in Oklahoma.
Winter and Tulsa King‘s creator and executive producer Taylor Sheridan famously conflicted about the creative direction of the series. After Winter stepped away, the big question became who was going to take over his gig, given Sheridan’s self-professed preference for remaining hands-on with his shows. Stallone, likewise, has firm opinions about the writing in his projects — having written and co-written the screenplays for many of his hit films over the years — and claims some of the show’s dialogue was his own creation.

The writers of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver won the award for best writing for a variety series at the 2023 Emmys — its eighth straight win in the category — and gave the first mention of last year’s writers strike at the awards.
“I want to thank everyone at the show, especially John [Oliver], Tim [Carvell] and Liz [Stanton] for how much they backed us up during the writers strike,” writer Sofia Manfredi said in accepting the award. “They supported us all, even though a third of us are annoying.”
Manfredi also gave a shout-out to the Writers Guild of America — without whom her speech might not have been part of the Fox broadcast Monday night.
The Television Academy and Fox had planned for the award, which has traditionally been part of the Primetime Emmys telecast, to move to the Creative Arts ceremony this year (a taped, condensed version of which...
