NOLA King: Samuel L. Jackson Set to Lead New TV Crime Series Spin-Off
Samuel L. Jackson is set to star in a new TV crime series titled NOLA King, a spin-off of Taylor Sheridan's Tulsa King, which is in development at Paramount+. The show will be based in New Orleans and will feature Jackson in the lead role. Jackson will also make a guest appearance in the upcoming third season of Tulsa King, setting the stage for his own series. The plot details are being kept secret, but it is said that Jackson's character will have a similar criminal background to Sylvester Stallone's character in Tulsa King.
While Tulsa King focuses on a character reinventing himself in Oklahoma, NOLA King will explore the underworld of New Orleans. It is unclear if Jackson's character will interact with Stallone's character again, but in Sheridan's universe, everything eventually connects. Jackson's casting is a significant addition to Paramount+ and Sheridan's lineup of shows, which includes popular series like Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown.
Jackson's history of playing tough characters makes him a natural fit for the gritty tone of Tulsa King. He has received critical acclaim for his roles in films like Pulp Fiction and has been a part of major franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sheridan, known for his crime dramas, continues to impress with Tulsa King, which has been a success for Paramount+. The addition of Jackson to the spin-off series could bring new energy and excitement to the franchise.
As Tulsa King Season 3 approaches its release, fans can expect more updates on the show and the upcoming NOLA King series. Stay tuned for more information on this thrilling new addition to the crimeverse created by Taylor Sheridan.
