Samuel L. Jackson’s ‘Tulsa King’ Spinoff Gets New Title, With All Eight Episodes to Be Written By Taylor Sheridan - Variety

Samuel L. Jackson’s long-gestating spinoff of “Tulsa King” is moving forward under a new title and setting. The series, now titled “Frisco King,” was previously known as “NOLA King.” Paramount+ announced the change on Tuesday, indicating that production for the series is set to begin next month in Ft. Worth, Texas. This shift marks a significant change in the development of the spinoff, which has been in the works for some time. Taylor Sheridan, the creator of “Tulsa King,” will be responsible for writing all eight episodes of “Frisco King.” This decision aligns with Sheridan's involvement in the original series, which has garnered attention for its storytelling and character development. The transition from New Orleans to Texas signifies a new direction for the narrative and setting of the spinoff. The announcement of “Frisco King” and its production timeline reflects Paramount+’s commitment to expanding its original content offerings. With Sheridan at the helm as the writer, expectations are high for the series, given his track record in creating engaging and successful television dramas. The move to Ft. Worth is expected to provide a fresh backdrop for the story, potentially influencing the themes and character arcs explored in the series.
