URGENT UPDATE: Lane Garrison, known for his role in Mayor of Kingstown, is set to join the cast of Tulsa King following a shocking character death in the popular series. Garrison’s character, Carney, met a brutal end in season 4, episode 2, when he was killed by Cortez, leaving fans and the show’s protagonist, Mike McLusky, reeling from the loss of a loyal ally.
In an exclusive interview with TV Insider, Garrison expressed his surprise at the unexpected turn of events. “I was a little shocked,” he admitted, revealing he received a call from the executive producer that delivered both bad and good news: “The bad news is we’re killing you. The good news? We’re going to find something for you in Tulsa King.”
While Garrison is eager to step into his new role, specific details about his character remain under wraps. He is particularly hopeful about possibly working alongside Michael Beach, a fellow actor who has appeared in both series. “I would love to go see Michael Beach, who rolled over from our show to that,” Garrison mentioned, highlighting the camaraderie among the cast.
Garrison has previously starred in multiple Taylor Sheridan productions, including a role in Yellowstone. His transition to Tulsa King comes amid exciting developments for Sheridan, who recently announced plans to shift his focus from Paramount to NBCUniversal, starting in 2029. However, his current deal with Paramount will continue until 2028, ensuring that fans can still expect thrilling content from Sheridan in the near future.
As Garrison prepares for his upcoming role, he made it clear he hopes to survive this time around. “If I die, I’m not doing it,” he declared, alluding to the emotional toll of repeatedly saying goodbye to characters he has grown close with over the years.
With Tulsa King already renewed for a fourth season, Garrison’s involvement adds yet another layer of excitement for fans. The show’s premise follows mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi as he navigates the complexities of establishing a criminal empire in Tulsa after being exiled from New York.
As Mayor of Kingstown continues to release new episodes, viewers can look forward to Garrison’s future in Tulsa King and possibly other Sheridan projects. For now, fans are left to ponder the implications of Garrison’s transition and the potential for new storylines that lie ahead.
