Tulsa King Season 3 is bringing forth some intriguing complications. Among the many complications in the world of crime that we see in Tulsa King Season 3, the dynamic between Cole and Jeremiah Dunmire is definitely an intriguing one. Robert Patrick takes on the role of Jeremiah Dunmire in the series, while Beau Knapp brings the character of Cole Dunmire to life.

Though Jeremiah’s intimidating nature is a crucial part of the storyline, his disapproval of his own son, Cole, definitely adds a layer of complication. In a recent interview with TV Insider, Robert Patrick and Beau Knapp shared some insights about the intricate relationship between the father and son.


Why can't Jeremiah forgive his son in Tulsa King Season 3?

Robert Patrick and Beau Knapp dive deep into explaining the complex relationship Jeremiah has with his son. In Tulsa King Season 3, it is revealed that his disapproval of his son was not something new. In a flashback scene, the death of Jeremiah’s ther son is shown. Jeremiah was more attached to his other son than to Cole. Hence, when Cole survived and his other son did not, he slowly grew resentful towards Cole.

Cole tries every way possible to gain his father's approval. However, it never happens. Cole is constantly “trying to replace his brother.” He wishes to make Jeremiah happy, but Jeremiah, on the other hand, does not seem to understand the efforts that Cole is putting in to gain his approval.

In the interview, Robert Patrick says that in the upcoming episodes of Tulsa King Season 3, there will be a “showdown.” This “showdown” will be crucial in depicting the growing complication between the father and son. He also indicates that he does not think Cole is “ever going to earn” Jeremiah’s support and forgiveness.

Robert Patrick also adds that Jeremiah is “under a lot of stress.” Jeremiah gave Cole the task of killing Dwight at the restaurant. However, the task remains incomplete. Cole's inability to fulfill it undoubtedly adds to the resentment Jeremiah feels toward his son. Jeremiah understands that his “guys” are “starting to fail” him. The stakes are definitely high in Tulsa King Season 3, and it will be intriguing to see how the father and son duo navigate their strained relationship.

Right after Jeremiah’s arrival in Tulsa King Season 3, the atmosphere completely shifts. Jeremiah’s unforgiving nature casts a shadow on Cole. Cole’s efforts are mostly met with cruel dismissal, which further creates distance between the two. Robert Patrick and Beau Knapp’s words indicate that the chances of resolving the complications between them are low.

Robert Patrick perfectly handles the nature of Jeremiah in Tulsa King Season 3. He brings out a genuine threat that Jeremiah evokes in the series. Some of Robert Patrick’s other notable works that deserve a place on your watchlist are The X-Files, The Unit, True Blood, Last Resort, and From Dusk till Dawn: The Series.

Beau Knapp’s depiction of Cole in Tulsa King is a crucial element in portraying the tense dynamic between the father and son. Their family dynamic undoubtedly enhances the overall appeal of the third season. The manner in which Beau Knapp depicts Cole’s conflicting emotions is truly worth appreciating.
