“Game-changing” Tulsa King spin-off confirmed with Samuel L Jackson
NOLA King, the “game-changing” spin-off to Tulsa King, has cast Samuel L Jackson in the lead role.
In simpler terms, the crime drama by Taylor Sheridan, available on Paramount+, tells the story of Dwight Manfredi, portrayed by Sylvester Stallone, following his time in prison. Upon release, this former gangster establishes a new criminal network after moving to Oklahoma.
In the upcoming season of the crime drama, starting later this year, it’s been officially announced that actor Jackson will take on the role of Russell Lee Washington Jr in the spin-off series titled “NOLA King“. This character is set to first appear in the forthcoming episodes of the primary show.
What to Read Next
As a gamer, I’m on the trail of Russell Lee Washington Jr, a man who formed an alliance with Dwight Manfredi during a decade behind bars. Now, sent by the Renzetti crime family from New York, he’s headed to Tulsa with one mission: to put an end to Dwight, once and for all.
Moved by Dwight’s work in Tulsa and intrigued by the potential for redemption, Washington decides to go back to New Orleans, a city he hadn’t seen in 40 years, to strengthen ties with his family once more and regain authority over the city he once walked away from.
Upon coming back to his hometown, Washington may have stirred up anger among his previous associates from New York. This could potentially expose him to past adversaries, including those from the criminal underworld as well as law enforcement.
According to Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global, Samuel L Jackson’s exceptional charisma and universal popularity make him an ideal fit to boost the success of one of our top-performing movies and turn it into a long-running film series.
As a passionate gamer, I can’t wait to dive into the immersive world of Paramount+, where I’ll be witnessing the incredible, multidimensional performance of Jackson, amplifying one of their iconic series like never before. This is the sequel to Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King success that audiences have been eagerly anticipating!
Stallone stated that Chris presented an innovative concept for his show: transforming it from just a mob boss series into a multi-dimensional, family-focused franchise. This idea intrigued him instantly. He believes Samuel L. Jackson is the perfect fit to spearhead this fresh journey set in New Orleans.
NOLA King has no release date. Tulsa King season 3 premieres on Paramount+ in September.
