Robert Patrick joins Tulsa King Season 3, teasing revenge on Sylvester Stallone for their unfinished on-screen business from 28 years ago.
Tulsa King Season 3 is bringing back more than just mob drama, it’s reviving an old on-screen rivalry nearly three decades in the making. Robert Patrick is officially stepping into the ring, and he’s not exactly planning a warm welcome for Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi.
The casting news alone has fans buzzing, but what’s fueling the hype even more is Patrick’s playful tease about unfinished business. With a history between these two action legends, Season 3 might just serve up some long-awaited revenge TV-style, of course.
Robert Patrick wants payback in Tulsa King season 3
Robert Patrick’s got a score to settle. And this time, it’s personal. In a cheeky tweet, he fired off: “You got me last time @TheSlyStallone (aka ‘The General’)… Let’s see how we do @TulsaKing Season 3! I’m coming for you!”
Yeah, he’s talking about Cop Land and if you know, you know.
Back in 1997, Sylvester Stallone’s Freddy Heflin took him down in a brutal shootout in Cop Land. Patrick’s corrupt cop walks out, shotgun ready, only to get dropped hard by Stallone’s partially deaf, out-of-shape sheriff. That stunned look on his face? Classic. And hilarious.
Now, the tables are turning. Patrick is joining Tulsa King Season 3 as Jeremiah Dunmire. a liquor mogul with serious muscle. His son Cole (played by SEAL Team’s Beau Knapp) brings chaos. Trust fund kid. Wild eyes. Unpredictable energy. You get the picture.
And Stallone’s still running the show as Dwight “The General” Manfredi ex-mafia capo trying to turn Tulsa into his own empire. Season 2 threw new enemies at him. Season 3’s bringing ghosts and Patrick’s aiming straight for redemption.
What makes it even juicier is Patrick’s résumé. He’s been gunned down by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis even Demi Moore in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Basically, he’s Hollywood’s most elite target dummy. But this time, he’s not going down easy.
With Tulsa King already smashing records (21.1 M+ premiere viewers), Season 3 just leveled up. And Robert Patrick’s revenge arc is the kind of chaotic energy this show thrives on.
Stallone better watch his six because Patrick’s not just tweeting smoke. He’s bringing fire.
How James Cameron turned Robert Patrick into a sci-fi legend
Robert Patrick says Terminator 2 didn’t just change sci-fi, it changed his life. The Peacemaker star opened up on Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum, calling James Cameron the guy who “saw all that bundle of insecurity” and still said, “You can f–king do this.” That moment landed him the role of the deadly T-1000 in T2: Judgment Day, a part that made him iconic.
Terminator 2 flipped the game. The original villain (Arnold’s T-800) turned hero, while Patrick’s T-1000 became the silent, shape-shifting nightmare hiding behind a badge. No monster suit. Just cold, calculated terror.
Though Patrick never returned to the franchise, he’s still all in on a possible comeback, if the stunts don’t kill him.
And if Cameron ever circles back to Terminator between Avatar sequels? Well, that could be the reunion fans didn’t know they needed.
