Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Frisco King’ casting extras for North Texas filming
Taylor Sheridan’s “Tulsa King” spinoff is casting extras for North Texas filming.
“Frisco King” began production in Fort Worth in late March. Previously titled “NOLA King,” the Paramount+ series was originally supposed to be set and made in New Orleans, but is now a North Texas production.
The eight-episode series 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.
Texas-based Legacy Casting recently posted several notices for filming in the region this month. Here’s what to know.

More on ‘Frisco King’
Sheridan is writing every episode of “Frisco King” himself.
The show is expected to be another “fish out of water” story with Jackson’s character living and working in a city far from his New Orleans beginnings. This is the same premise for “Tulsa King,” which sees Stallone’s New York City character adjust to life in Tulsa, Okla.
In addition to Jackson, “Frisco King” will star Kai Caster, Asa Germann, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann.
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.
