New title, Fort Worth film date set for Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Tulsa King’ spinoff
Taylor Sheridan’s new “Tulsa King” spinoff is getting a Texas-sized facelift.
Deadline reported late Tuesday that Sheridan’s forthcoming “NOLA King” series for Paramount+ has been retitled “Frisco King,” in reference to the North Texas city. The previous iteration of the show was to be filmed and set in New Orleans.
“Frisco King” will star Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a hitman that crossed paths with Sylvester Stallone’s “Tulsa King” character Dwight Manfredi. Jackson appeared in the final two episodes of the show’s third season last year.
This new iteration of “Frisco King” will solely be written by Sheridan and will contain eight episodes.
Casting is currently underway on the series ahead of a late March shoot in Fort Worth. It’s unclear if the show will actually film in Frisco.
“Paramount Pictures and 101 Studios have reached out to the City of Frisco regarding the filming of a proposed production called ‘Frisco King.’ At this time, we have no other details to share,” the City of Frisco said in a statement.
More on ‘Frisco King’
While this is the first official word on “Frisco King,” news of the show has spilled out over the past month.
In mid-January, Puck News reported that the show had been retitled “Frisco King.” A few weeks later in early February, the Star-Telegram reported that the show is planning to film at Tarrant County Courthouse in early April.
Sheridan, Jackson and Stallone will all executive produce the show. Additional producers include Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Keith Cox and 101 Studios CEO David Glasser.
No release date has been set for the series.
