BREAKING: Following a shocking character death in the latest episode of Mayor of Kingstown, actor Lane Garrison is set to join the cast of Tulsa King, another series from acclaimed creator Taylor Sheridan. Garrison’s character, Carney, a loyal prison guard, met an unexpected end in season 4, episode 2, leaving fans stunned and eager for what’s next.
In a sudden twist, Garrison’s character was killed by Cortez, marking a dramatic turn in the storyline that not only ends Carney’s journey but also strips Mike McLusky, played by Jeremy Renner, of a trusted ally. Garrison expressed his surprise during an interview with TV Insider, revealing he was caught off guard by the news of Carney’s demise.
“I was a little shocked,” Garrison admitted. “I got a call this past summer from the executive producer, which is always that weird call. It’s like, you’re either getting called up to the major leagues, or it’s, ‘You’re cut.’”
But it wasn’t all bad news. Following the announcement of his character’s death, Garrison learned that he would be taking on a new role in Tulsa King, set to air on Paramount+. While details of his new character remain undisclosed, Garrison expressed excitement about potentially collaborating with Michael Beach, who has also appeared in both series.
“I don’t know yet,” he said regarding his upcoming role. “I’m hoping to go see Michael Beach, who rolled over from our show to that. He was one of my favorite people I’ve ever worked with.”
Garrison has humorously set one condition for his new role: “If I die, I’m not doing it,” he quipped, noting that this was his 16th or 17th on-screen death. “It gets old because it’s more work to say goodbye than to do the actual death.”
This is not Garrison’s first appearance in a Taylor Sheridan series; he has also starred in Yellowstone, adding to a roster of actors who have appeared in multiple Sheridan projects. Alongside Garrison, James Jordan, Dawn Olivieri, Matt Gerald, and Nichole Galicia have all made their mark in Sheridan’s universe.
As Tulsa King season 3 continues to unfold, Garrison’s future in the franchise remains bright with the show already renewed for season 4. The anticipation grows around his new character, especially now that he has made it clear he wants to survive this time around.
In a timely twist, this news arrives just a week after Sheridan announced his upcoming transition from Paramount+ to NBCUniversal. While his deal with Paramount will continue through 2028, Sheridan’s new contract with NBC will kick off in 2029, sparking speculation about future projects.
For now, fans can catch Garrison in Mayor of Kingstown and look forward to his role in Tulsa King as both shows continue to capture viewers with their intense narratives.
Stay tuned for updates on Garrison’s new role and the latest developments in Sheridan’s captivating series landscape.
