Samuel L. Jackson in Talks to Star in Taylor Sheridan Series

  • Paramount+ is developing NOLA King, a New Orleans–based spin-off of Tulsa King starring Samuel L. Jackson, set to follow his guest arc in Tulsa King's third season.
  • The spin-off arises as Tulsa King, created and executive produced by Taylor Sheridan and Sylvester Stallone, continues its success, with Jackson’s role designed to link both series.
  • NOLA King will focus on Russell Lee Washington Jr., a crime figure similar to Stallone's Dwight Manfredi, with Dave Erickson writing and executive producing the series.
  • Jackson, whose films have grossed over $7 billion, was named the highest-grossing box office actor by Guinness in 2023 and is expected to film Tulsa King episodes in July ahead of NOLA King’s February production start.
  • This expansion signals Taylor Sheridan’s continued success in creating interconnected crime dramas for Paramount+, potentially broadening the franchise’s audience with Jackson as lead.
