Paramount+’s hit Sylvester Stallone drama Tulsa King is finally back for season three and a new addition to the cast has everyone excited

Tulsa King fans are ecstatic as another action movie legend has joined the cast as a powerful new enemy for crime boss Dwight ‘The General’ Manfredi (played by Sylvester Stallone).

Season three premiered last Sunday night (21st September), taking fans back to the night Dwight was kidnapped by Special Agent Musso (Kevin Pollak).

Thankfully, he’s soon released, albeit as Musso’s new informant on an unknown target, and reunites with Margaret (Dana Delany), apologising for her ranch being ransacked by gunmen the night before.

After a quick visit to his family in Little Italy, Dwight discovers Cleo Montague’s (Bella Heathcote) family distillery is due to be sold to the powerful Dunmire family after her father Theodore (Brett Rice) made a handshake deal.

However, Dwight sees the distillery as a valuable asset to his own empire and promises a better deal for the Montagues.

Cue the introduction of Tulsa King season three’s terrifying new villain, Jeremiah Dunmire, portrayed by none other than Hollywood star Robert Patrick.

Patrick is best known for portraying the unstoppable T-1000 in James Cameron’s hit action movie sequel Terminator 2: Judgement Day and has more recently landed roles in Yellowstone prequel 1923 and HBO’s Peacemaker.

Jeremiah is naturally furious to discover Theo has reneged on their deal, and sets a group of thugs on his mansion who beat him to a pulp and burn his home to the ground.

Viewers were on the edge of their seats during this nail-biting premiere, which raises the stakes for Dwight and his crew to a whole new level. Fans were also already impressed with Patrick’s performance as this season’s sadistic antagonist.

One ecstatic viewer took to X to reply to Patrick’s recent post in which he warned Dwight not to “cross” him.

Using plenty of fire emojis they exclaimed in the comments: “Yoooo, I just watched the new episode and O M G… and this is just the 1st episode and yall WENT TF OFFF… WOW!! ..

“You ARE GONNA BE A PROBLEMA FOR Dwight. Your character already starting off EVIL AF. Dude, I WAS YELLING AT THE TV AT THE END LIKE NOOO WAY! 10/10 show!!

“I can’t wait for next week.. man oh man.. GANGSTA A*** S***!! Awesome job yall!!!”

Someone else replied: “you’re awesome dude, great career, enjoy your success!!”

Fans of the controversial reality show don’t have long to wait

Paramount+ has confirmed the release date for Dating Naked UK season 2 as Rylan Clark returns to screens.

Dating Naked made its UK debut in 2024, featuring a group of singletons seeking to find their ideal partner. But the reality dating show comes with a major twist.

Contestants appear completely naked. The divisive dating programme originally launched in America where it proved popular with fans before making its way to Paramount+.

And it has sparked fierce debate upon its British launch due to participants appearing entirely naked. A second series is now approaching, and supporters won’t be waiting much longer as Paramount+ has given a major release date update.

Dating Naked UK’s second season will debut its first two episodes on Paramount+ on August 29. From then, two instalments will drop each week, totalling 10 hour-long programmes.

Presenter Rylan will once again take charge as ten fresh singles strip off in pursuit of romance. Paramount+ hints: “The UK’s most drawer-dropping dating show is back! Guided by host Rylan, ten new singles are ready to shed their inhibitions and their clothes, in their search for true love.”

It was previously reported that the reality dating programme had relocated for its latest run, now filming in Panama, Central America. Host Rylan earlier revealed to the Daily Star: “There are going to be some big changes.

“It’s really exciting. The location is changing. What we’ve got lined up is going to be brilliant. There will be lots of twists and turns.

“If the daters watched the first season and think they know how the show works, they’re wrong. We want to keep them on their toes. We don’t want them to know what’s coming next”.

The debut series of the provocative programme quickly became a fan favourite and one of the most-watched shows on Paramount+.

On IMDB, an enthusiast commented: “Maybe it’s just the fact that the way show everything but I like this much better than other similar shows with clothes. Them being nude adds a humorous side and it’s intriguing to see how they behave.”

Another viewer expressed: “I watched it because it was controversial, and surprisingly I enjoyed this show.”

You can catch up with Dating Naked season one on Paramount Plus or stream it on Prime Video.

Diane Kruger and Jo Joyner head up a stellar cast in this new psychological thriller now on Paramount+

You know those smug, perfect mums? How well do you really know them? What if they’re not that perfect after all? Little Disasters, airing today (Thursday 22 May) on Paramount+, is a deliciously gripping psychological thriller. Based on the novel by Sarah Vaughan, it follows a group of four women whose friendship implodes.

When Jess (Diane Kruger) takes her baby to hospital with an unexplained head injury, her close friend and on-duty A&E doctor Liz (Jo Joyner) must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services.

It starts with Jess taking her screaming baby to hospital. It’s A&E on a Friday night and only Liz is available to check baby Betsy. When Liz finds a significant bump on Betsy’s head, she asks Jess what happened – but Jess is sketchy on the details. “She slipped,” she says. Turns out the 10-month-old has a skull fracture and significant bruising. The action flashes back to when she and Jess met 11 years ago at a class for expectant mums, along with two other women.

Exploring themes of motherhood and friendship, the series looks at what happens to this group of women after Liz sets off a catastrophic chain of events. Liz says: “I always thought that Jess was the perfect mother, but then something happens, some little disaster and suddenly you ask yourself, what else is she hiding?” Also starring Shelley Conn, Emily Taaffe, Stephen Campbell Moore, Ben Bailey Smith, Patrick Baladi, Robert Gilbert, Chizzy Akudolu and JJ Feild, this thriller will have you questioning everything. All six episodes are now available to binge.

*Little Disasters is airing now on Paramount+

There’s plenty more on TV tonight – here’s the best of the rest..

THE HORNE SECTION TV SHOW, CHANNEL 4, 10pm

Riotous, wacky, sublimely silly, this sitcom revels in taking a swipe at popular culture and definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously. Written by and starring Alex Horne, with an appearance from his real life wife Rachel, playing his wife (who else!), this is a second run for the quirky comedy.

Struggling with his newfound fame, the pressures of filming live from his family home, and a subsequent lack of money, Alex is determined to prove to the nation that he’s a credible leader of his band, while trying not to be overshadowed by the real musicians he works with.

It starts with an unsuccessful appearance on Sunday Brunch, during which Alex is irritated by the presence of ‘proper musician’, James Corden’s band leader Reggie Watts. Producer Thora (Desiree Burch) then books Reggie as a guest on The Horne Section TV Show, while C4 exec Ash (Georgia Tennant) commissions talent contest, World’s Strongest Musician, which gives Alex a chance to prove himself. Or not.

Over the course of a week, Masha takes them to the brink. She says: “I invited you all here because sometimes you shouldn’t deal with pain gently.”

The first series included vials of blood and digging your own grave, so we know that something sinister is definitely going on. An excellent cast includes Henry Golding, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, Murray Bartlett, Mark Strong and Aras Aydin. “You have to trust me,” says Masha. They definitely shouldn’t…
