Samuel L. Jackson spotted in downtown Fort Worth during ‘Frisco King’ filming
Taylor Sheridan’s “Frisco King” recently filmed at a famous Fort Worth location.
The Paramount+ series began production in Cowtown in late March. Previously titled “NOLA King,” the series was originally supposed to be set and made in New Orleans, but is now a North Texas production.
The eight-episode Paramount+ series stars Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a hitman who 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.
“Frisco King” filmed scenes at the Tarrant County Courthouse on Monday, April 27, according to several social media posts.
This comes nearly two weeks after the Tarrant County Commissioners Court approved filming at the historic courthouse, which was completed in 1895. County Judge Tim O’Hare posted a photo of himself and Jackson on set Monday, but as of Tuesday afternoon the post has been taken down.

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.
“Frisco King” will film in Fort Worth, Plano, Dallas, Frisco, Keller, Denton and Southlake through July.
In addition to Jackson and Stallone, “Frisco King” will star Kai Caster, Asa Germann, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann. No release date has been set for the series.
