UPDATE: In a surprising twist, actor Lane Garrison is set to join the cast of Tulsa King following the shocking death of his character in Mayor of Kingstown. The announcement comes just hours after Garrison’s character, Carney, was killed off in the latest episode of the hit series, leaving fans and cast members in disbelief.
During a recent interview with TV Insider, Garrison expressed his shock at the sudden turn of events. “I didn’t either. I was a little shocked,” he revealed. The unexpected call from the executive producer informed him that while Carney would meet a grim fate at the hands of Cortez, there was a silver lining—an opportunity to appear in Tulsa King, the acclaimed series created by Taylor Sheridan.
The episode aired on October 15, 2023, and Garrison’s character’s demise marks a pivotal moment for the series, affecting the storyline of main character Mike McLusky, who loses a loyal ally. Garrison described the news as a double-edged sword, saying, “The bad news is we’re killing you. The good news is we’re gonna find something for you in Tulsa King.”
While Garrison is excited about this new venture, details about his role in Tulsa King are still under wraps. He mentioned his eagerness to possibly reunite with actor Michael Beach, who has also transitioned from Mayor of Kingstown to Tulsa King. Garrison humorously added a condition for his next character: “If I die, I’m not doing it. This was like my 16th or 17th on-screen death.”
Garrison’s journey with Sheridan’s projects is not new. He previously appeared in Yellowstone and is now joining a growing list of actors featuring in multiple Sheridan series, including James Jordan and Dawn Olivieri.
As the third season of Tulsa King unfolds, it has already been renewed for a fourth season, ensuring Garrison will have a role in the future of the show. The anticipation builds as fans are eager to see how his character will evolve this time without the threat of an immediate demise.
In a broader context, Garrison’s transition comes amid reports that Taylor Sheridan is moving from Paramount to NBCUniversal. Despite this shift, his current contract with Paramount remains active until 2028, allowing for continued collaborations like those with Garrison.
For now, viewers can catch Garrison in Mayor of Kingstown and look forward to his upcoming role in Tulsa King. This development not only signifies a new chapter for Garrison but also exemplifies the dynamic storytelling and character arcs that have made Sheridan’s shows a staple in modern television.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops and Garrison embarks on his new journey in the world of Taylor Sheridan’s gripping narratives.
