Additionally, Shire has been a long-standing collaborator of Sylvester Stallone, who plays the protagonist in Tulsa King. Shire was in five of the original Rocky films, which Stallone created. Stallone also played the main role of Rocky Balbo, while Shire played his love interest, Adrian.
Perhaps some fans may have speculated that the two actors will share the screen again, courtesy of their work history. This speculation also speaks to the nostalgia that always comes with the reunion of famous acting duos.
Could Talia Shire still appear in Tulsa King?
Even if Talia Shire is not featured as Karen Kriscoe, there might be a possibility of her joining the show. Shire is close to Stallone and boasts of decades-long professional association with him. Last year Stallone wished Shire on her birthday by sharing a photo from the Rocky franchise. In an Instagram post, he described her as "my greatest leading Lady ever."
The rekindling of Shire and Stallone on screen will be much appreciated by the fans of the Rocky franchise fans. However, so far there's been no official report to confirm that Shire will appear in the crime drama.
Season 2 of Tulsa King is streaming on Paramount+. The show premiered on September 15, 2024. So far only two episodes of the crime drama have been released. The third episode release on September 29, 2024.
