A new spinoff of the hit series “Tulsa King,” titled “NOLA King,” is in development at Paramount+, set to star and be executive produced by Samuel L. Jackson. This exciting project will be introduced through Jackson’s guest appearance in the upcoming third season of “Tulsa King,” which is currently filming in Atlanta and Oklahoma.
“NOLA King” aims to create a narrative centered on Jackson’s character, who shares similarities with Sylvester Stallone’s role in “Tulsa King.” The new series will feature Dave Erickson, known for his collaboration with Taylor Sheridan on both “Tulsa King” and “Mayor of Kingstown,” as its writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Sheridan will also lend his expertise as an executive producer alongside David C. Glasser from 101 Studios, with production handled by MTV Entertainment Studios.
Samuel L. Jackson is widely regarded as one of the most iconic actors in Hollywood. He garnered an Oscar nomination for his groundbreaking role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction,” leading to a longstanding collaborative relationship with the director, including films such as “Jackie Brown,” “Django Unchained,” and “The Hateful Eight.” Jackson’s diverse resume also includes his pivotal role as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with further notable performances in “Unbreakable,” “Glass,” and the “Star Wars” franchise.
With the production of Season 3 of “Tulsa King” underway and an exciting spin-off on the horizon, fans have plenty to look forward to in the world of Taylor Sheridan’s gritty storytelling. Jackson’s involvement promises to bring new layers to the narrative that have captivated audiences since the series premiere.
The collaborative efforts of seasoned industry talents like Sheridan and Erickson provide a hopeful glimpse into a compelling new chapter set in the criminal underworld of New Orleans, expanding the vibrant storytelling that has become synonymous with “Tulsa King.”
