New Sheridan TV show is headed to Fort Worth to film in this downtown landmark
“Yellowstone” Writer Taylor Sheridan’s next project will feature a courtroom scene filmed in the iconic Tarrant County Courthouse, per public records.
The TV show “Frisco King” is a spinoff of “Tulsa King,” where New York Mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi, played by Sylvester Stallone, is released from prison after 25 years. His boss exiles him to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Manfredi realizes he needs to create his own criminal organization in order to survive.
The spinoff was originally called “NOLA King” as announced by Paramount and would feature Samuel L. Jackson playing Russell Lee Washington Jr. as he tries to reinvent himself on the run from the New York mob. There have been whispers that “Frisco King” is the renamed version of the New Orleans spinoff.
Though there has not been any official reports about “Frisco King” from Paramount or Jackson, the contract between Tarrant County and King Street Productions, Inc., confirms that the show will be filming in April in Fort Worth.
The scene will be filmed on the fourth floor of the 1895 courthouse in one day by the local production company for Paramount Pictures.
