Paramount+ has announced an exciting new addition to the ‘Tulsa King’ universe. Samuel L. Jackson will lead a spinoff series titled ‘NOLA King,’ set in New Orleans. This marks a significant expansion of the popular crime drama created by Taylor Sheridan.

Jackson is set to portray a mob boss operating in New Orleans, similar to Sylvester Stallone’s character, Dwight “The General” Manfredi, in the original series. According to reports, Jackson’s character will be introduced in the upcoming third season of ‘Tulsa King,’ which is currently in production.

Showrunner Terence Winter confirmed the project, stating that discussions are underway, and he is eager to begin filming in New Orleans. Winter expressed enthusiasm about the new setting, highlighting the unique culture and cuisine of the city.

‘Tulsa King’ has been a significant success for Paramount+, with its second season premiere attracting 21.1 million global streaming viewers, setting a new record for the platform. The show’s popularity has prompted Paramount+ to explore expanding the franchise, similar to the approach taken with Sheridan’s ‘Yellowstone’ series.

While specific plot details for ‘NOLA King’ remain under wraps, the series is expected to delve into the criminal underworld of New Orleans, offering a fresh perspective within the established universe. It is unclear whether Stallone or other original cast members will appear in the spinoff.

Production timelines and a release date for ‘NOLA King’ have not been announced. However, with Jackson’s involvement and the creative team from ‘Tulsa King’ on board, the spinoff is anticipated to be a compelling addition to the franchise.
