Sylvester Stallone returns in dramatic Tulsa King season 3 trailer
After season two ended on a big cliffhanger late last year, fans have finally been given a sneak peek at what's to come in the upcoming third season of the Paramount+ crime drama thanks to a dramatic new trailer.
We see Dwight Manfredi (Stallone) eager to build on his growing crime empire in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he was exiled following his 25-year prison sentence.
'Tulsa is my home now,' Dwight says in the 30-second teaser, before it's revealed he takes an interest in a distillery business. But it appears his plans to expand his business footprint in the town quickly earns him a host of new adversaries.
'They're threatening everybody in my life,' Dwight says. 'If you think you're going to take me on, it's going to be really difficult.'
Viewers will remember the last episode of season 2, where Dwight was kidnapped from his bed and told by masked captors 'you work for us now'.
While we are yet to discover who the baddies are, according to Paramount, Jeremiah Dunmire (Robert Patrick) is the new villain being introduced.
Dunmire is described as the patriarch of a 'powerful old-money family that doesn't play by old-world rules, forcing Dwight to fight for everything he's built.'
Samuel L. Jackson also joins the cast for season three, debuting his character Russell Lee Washington Jr. ahead of his lead role in the upcoming Tulsa spin-off, NOLA King.
Season three of Tulsa King hits Paramount+ on September 21.

‘Refused release': New Zealand mum and 6yo son detained by ICE in US
Family and friends are pleading for the release of a Kiwi mother-of-three and her six-year-old son who have been locked inside a US immigration facility after a routine border crossing turned into a nightmare. Sarah Shaw and her youngest son Isaac have spent more than two weeks in federal detention in Texas, where loved ones say their treatment is 'abuse and federal kidnapping.' The single mother, who brought her family to the US in 2021 to marry her then-husband, has been working for the state of Washington as a youth counsellor in a juvenile detention facility for over three years. On July 24, the 33-year-old travelled with her three kids from Washington to Vancouver by car, less than a three-hour drive, to drop her two eldest children, Grace, 11, and Seth, 9, to Vancouver airport. The children hopped on a direct flight back to New Zealand to visit their grandparents. Unable to fly unaccompanied, Isaac stayed by his mother's side. When Ms Shaw attempted to re-enter the US, Immigration and Customers Enforcement (ICE) detained her and young Isaac, 'whisking them away in an unmarked white van' and confiscating Ms Shaw's phone. The pair were transported to Dilley Immigration Processing Centre in south Texas, over 35 hours away from their home in Everett, Washington. The facility is deemed the largest immigration detention centre in the United States. Ms Shaw's friend and advocate Victoria Besancon, is one of two people allowed contact with the mother and has branded the conditions inside the facility as 'comparable to prison.' 'She is not allowed to have her own clothes or her own underwear. There are five bunk beds in a room with multiple families in those rooms and they are locked inside from 8pm to 8am,' she told 'Sarah is one of the only people in the facility outside of the workers who speak English, so the situation has been very isolating for her.' Ms Besancon, a retired navy veteran, revealed that Ms Shaw's legal representative reached out to an ICE officer who 'refused to release either of them, despite their legal status.' 'He went as far to threaten Sarah by saying, 'you better be careful who you speak to', when she inquired about the legalities of her detainment.' Ms Shaw is on what is known as a 'combo card' visa – a two-in-one card that works as a work permit, which she obtained through her employment, and an I-360 visa, which can grant immigration status to domestic violence survivors. She had recently received a letter confirming her visa renewal, but had not realised that the I-360 element of her visa was still pending approval. Ms Shaw requested humanitarian parole – an emergency pass into the US – which Ms Besancon says should have been approved, despite the minor clerical error in her paperwork. 'Not only was she denied that right, but agents lied to her stating they had already requested it and she was denied. It was later confirmed that was a lie and no parole was filed or requested on her behalf,' said Ms Besancon. Unfortunately, without both elements of the 'combo card', reentry into the US is not guaranteed. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a person without this documentation may be 'found inadmissible' and therefore deported, 'their applications may be denied and they may face abandonment of their pending application.' Meanwhile, all three of Ms Shaw's children have been granted their I-360 visas, with Ms Besancon claiming the youngest son was therefore being detained 'illegally.' Ms Besancon revealed that Ms Shaw has since had an interview with United States Citizen and Immigration services (USCIS), in hopes that her I-360 form will be approved and expedited. 'She still has a valid and current work visa. She was never inadmissable to the United States and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) made the independent decision to detain her.' Ms Besancon cautioned against the 'increasingly aggressive' attitude towards immigration in the US, warning tourists against visiting the country any time soon. 'I would strongly caution anyone outside of America from travelling and crossing borders right now. The state of our country and its attitude towards immigration is becoming increasingly aggressive. Due to our current administration, I personally feel there has been a large emboldening of racist communities within the United States,' she said. 'I love my country, but my country was built on immigration. I absolutely support those who want to come to our country to work and establish a life here. That is how America was founded and I believe that's how it should continue.' A spokesperson for the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade told that 'consular officials have been in contact with the New Zealander in detention in the United States,' but declined to comment further. ICE has been contacted for comment. Ms Besancon has since created a GoFundMe to help Ms Shaw pay for legal representation in both Texas and Washington. The funds will also go towards helping Ms Shaw support her family and pay her bills while she is out of work. The fund has raised over $53,000 USD ($81,000 AUD), in just seven days. Travel to the US has dropped a whopping 3.1 per cent in July – just the latest in a slew of monthly declines as the Trump administration continues to impose strict curbs on travel and tough negotiations on trade. Earlier this year, a former NSW police officer was detained, jailed overnight and deported from the United States – despite travelling there legally on a tourist visa to visit her US military husband. Nikki Saroukos from southwest Sydney told at the time, that she was 'treated like a criminal', denied her rights and subject to invasive searches, humiliating treatment and a night in federal prison – simply for trying to spend time with her American partner station in Hawaii. 'I've never been so terrified in my life. I froze. They said, 'We'll be sending you to jail.' I was just shaking, sweating – I couldn't believe it,' Mrs Saroukos said. The ex-cop claimed she was then handcuffed, subjected to an in-depth cavity search and marched through the airport in full view of the public before being driven to a federal detention facility.

Denzel Washington gives his brutally honest take on Oscars after Gladiator II snub
Denzel Washington doesn't care about those shiny gold trophies. The Fences actor, 70, recently explained why winning an Oscar isn't important to him in his career. 'I don't do it for Oscars. I don't care about that kind of stuff,' he said on Jake's Takes while promoting his new film, Highest 2 Lowest. 'I've been at this a long time, and there's time when I won and shouldn't have won and then didn't win and should've won,' Washington added, per the New York Post. 'Man gives the award. God gives the reward.' Despite being nominated nine times and taking home two wins at the award ceremony, Washington noted: 'I'm not that interested in Oscars.' 'People ask me, 'Where do I keep it?' Well, next to the other one. I'm not bragging! Just telling you how I feel about it,' he said. 'On my last day, [Oscars] aren't going to do me a bit of good.' Washington won Oscars in 1990 for Glory and in 2002 for Training Day. He was also nominated for his performances in Cry Freedom, Malcolm X, The Hurricane, Flight, Fences, Roman J. Israel, Esq. and The Tragedy of Macbeth. Earlier this year, Washington was snubbed by the Academy for his performance in Gladiator II. He was expected to get into the Best Supporting Actor race, especially after scoring nominations at the 2025 Golden Globes and 2025 Critics Choice Awards. When asked how he felt about the snub in February, Washington sarcastically told the New York Times: 'Are you kidding me? Awww. Oh, I'm so upset.' 'Listen, I've been around too long. I've got — I don't wanna say other fish to fry, but there's a reality at this age,' he added. 'The beginning of wisdom is understanding. I'm getting wiser, working on talking less and learning to understand more — and that's exciting.' Three months after the Oscars snub, Washington failed to get nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in Othello, which generated controversy for its high ticket costs. Last year, Washington made headlines for saying he plans to retire after his slew of upcoming acting projects, including Black Panther 3. 'I don't know how many more films I'm going to make. Probably not that many,' he said during an interview with Australia's Today show. 'I want to do things I haven't done,' Washington added.

‘Hunting the hunters': The terrifying true story of a crossbow attack on police in rural Australia
When someone ran into the Tenterfield Police Station on April Fool's Day, 2012, to report that someone was shooting at members of a commune with a bow and arrow at a remote property near Rocky River, Sergeant Carter Knyvett called for backup before attending the scene. The backup came in the form of his de facto partner, Sergeant Karen Peasley, who was the only other officer available. What the couple experienced when they arrived was – as former Deputy State Coroner Hugh Dillon describes it, 'nightmarish'. 'Usually when police are involved in some sort of scenario and someone dies, they've come upon a scene where someone's threatening others,' he tells Gary Jubelin on this week's episode of the former-homicide cop's I Catch Killers podcast. 'In this case, [the offender] was actually hunting the police themselves. It put me in mind of the film Deliverance.' Dillon, who presided over the coronial inquest into the case, saw more than 300 cases during his time as a coroner – and will never forget the 'terrifying' set of circumstances of the Tenterfield crossbow attack. A man in camouflage shatters the peace Earlier that afternoon, 33-year-old Ryan Pringle had posted a status on his Facebook page that read: 'going hunting be back when i have enough food for winter [sic].' He then approached the property, on which members of the 'Rainbow Family' commune had gathered for a month-long celebration of the group's values of 'peace, love and harmony,' and almost immediately became aggressive. According to reports, he then took 10 members hostage, assaulted them and threatened them with a knife and his crossbow. Because there was no phone reception at the property, it wasn't until a few campers escaped and drove into Tenterfield that police could even be notified. Jubelin, who was called to attend as a senior investigating officer on the critical incident team, describes his own recollection of the 'very brave' actions of officers Knyvett and Peaseley. '[The property] was about an hour's drive out from town in a very remote location with no communication, not just police radio, but telephones – there were black spots all over the place,' he recalls. '[Knyvett and Peaseley] get out there and Ryan's decided to start stalking them,' he continues. 'I thought they were very brave in that they went and gathered up all the people at the festival and got them all to travel out. It was like a wagon train, getting everyone to pack up their gear and get in their vans and follow the police car.' A hunt in the night 'Then, just as they're about to move off – this is late at night and pitch black out there – Ryan's come out of the shadows and started calling out to police and threatening to kill them.' This 'hunt' went on for some time, with police unable to turn on their torches to locate Pringle, lest they make themselves more of a target. 'The police were trying to protect a whole gaggle of people who were simply there for a good weekend,' agrees Dillon. 'They were ordinary country police, just decent people trying to protect members of the community. And suddenly they're being hunted for their lives.' Eventually, after Pringle approached the van where police were sheltering and there was a chase; Peasley deployed her taser, which missed, and Knyvett shot Pringle to prevent him from shooting them both with the crossbow. 'I think it gave me a lot of respect for what country cops do,' adds Jubelin. 'There wasn't any backup for them – the communications – it was an hour or two before other police came by. You've got the other people in the situation, someone's just been shot with critical injuries and they're left there dealing with all that. I think [Sgt Knyvett] told me he wasn't sure if the rest of the community were going to attack him after the shot [that killed Pringle]. Just a horrendous situation.' After a critical incident investigation that heard several eyewitness testimonies from members of the Rainbow Family, all of whom reported that officers had continually pleaded with Pringle to drop the crossbow, telling him they did not want to get hurt, both officers went on to receive bravery awards for their actions. Although, adds Jubelin, some members of the 'eclectic' group provided colourful memories with their approach to courthouse attire. 'There was this one particular person that was a witness to this situation who didn't believe in wearing clothes,' he recalls. 'Clothes just weren't his scene. And I don't think you realise, as the Deputy State Coroner, how much work we had to do behind the scenes to get that witness to appear in court with some clothes on.' A system in need of an overhaul Along with being at the coalface of human tragedy through his coronial career, Dillon's time trying to understand death has left him desperate for things to change within the system. Dillon says one major failing in the current system is that while approximately 8,000 deaths are reported annually in NSW, only about 100 inquests are held. 'Around 40 per cent of the reported deaths are due to unnatural causes,' he explains. 'We don't really investigate enough accidents, I think, to learn all the lessons that could be learned. Ideally, a coronial system should really, thoroughly investigate all the fatal accidents that occur, and try to put them into patterns or identify trends so that we can pull out lifesaving lessons.' He adds that while investment into increased coronial inquests might seem steep, the impacts could actually be economically beneficial. 'One thing that people don't often think about – and frankly, I didn't think about when I was a coroner, but I have thought about since – is the economic value of a human life,' he says. 'The Australian Government puts an economic value on Australian life, and it's called the 'value of a statistical life'. And that, in 2024, was estimated to be $5.7 million. One year of life is valued by actuaries at around $240,000 or $250,000.' Dillon argues that thoroughly investigating the causes of accidents should be regarded as an investment in lifesaving. 'If we could save more lives, if we can prevent more accidents, then it would be obviously good for the families and the community in general if this human cost wasn't spent or incurred, but there's also a value to the economy,' he says. 'If you think about it, we have 3000 unnatural deaths a year. That's possibly $15 billion. Just putting it in dollar terms, which is a very crude and unsatisfactory way to put it, is really worth looking at,' Dillon continues. 'This is not just a lot of grief and a lot of sadness. It's an enormous cost to the society that we live in.'
