The new footage teases a bloody collision course between Dwight’s growing empire and the Dunmires, an entrenched Tulsa dynasty whose wealth and influence run deeper than anything the New York mobster has encountered. “They don’t play by old-world rules,” the synopsis warns — and the trailer makes it clear that these new adversaries have no intention of letting Dwight settle in comfortably.

The world of Tulsa King is about to get even bigger and bolder. Paramount+ has officially given a series order to Nola King, a highly anticipated spinoff of the hit crime drama, with none other than Samuel L. Jackson set to lead the charge and executive produce. This great news comes just a month after learning that the show was in the works. It just hadn't been officially confirmed until now.

With the addition of Nola King, the Tulsa King franchise is set to expand its universe for the first time. Taylor Sheridan, creator of Tulsa King, joins Jackson as an executive producer on the new series. Sylvester Stallone (star of Tulsa King), David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, and Keith Cox are all executive producers as well. In addition, the show is being produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.

Samuel L. Jacksonis one of those actors who instantly captures the attention of audiences as soon as he appears on the screen. From starring in classic movies to dramas, the veteran actor is either cursing someone out in a scene or portraying the ultimate cool guy. That's why he was the perfect choice to star in Nola King, Paramount+'s Tulsa King spin-off. When news first broke that the Sylvester Stallone-led crime drama series was getting a spin-off, fans were waiting for an official series order, and according to Deadline, the streaming service recently confirmed it. If you're wondering how the show will kick things off, Jackson's character will appear in a few episodes of Tulsa King's upcoming season 3.

Paramount+ released a first-look image of Jackson in episode 309 of the original series. Deadline reports that the actor will play Russell Lee Washington Jr. In the photo, you can...

Samuel L. Jackson is officially making the leap from the silver screen to Paramount+ for Nola King, a Tulsa King spinoff hailing from Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding universe. Nola King marks Jackson’s first headlining TV series in his legendary career, with his character, Russell Lee Washington Jr., set to be introduced in the upcoming third season of Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone.

Here’s the official synopsis for Nola King, courtesy of Paramount+:

“Nola King follows Russell Lee Washington Jr. (Jackson) who, after befriending Dwight Manfredi (Stallone) during a ten-year stint in federal prison, is sent to Tulsa by New York’s Renzetti crime family to take Dwight out once and for all. Inspired by what Dwight created in Tulsa and impressed with the possibilities of second chances, Washington returns to New Orleans, the home he abandoned forty-years ago, to rekindle his relationship with his family, friends, and...

Paramount+ has confirmed a series order to Nola King, a spinoff from Taylor Sheridan’s hit drama Tulsa King, which will star Samuel L. Jackson.

As Deadline reported last month, Jackson will appear in multiple episodes of Tulsa King‘s upcoming third season before headlining and executive producing the new series, from 101 Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios.

Paramount+ has released a first-look image of Jackson and Tulsa King star Sylvester Stallone in Episode 309 of the mothership series and more details about the offshoot’s premise.

Paramount+ has officially greenlit “Nola King,” a spinoff of “Tulsa King” starring Samuel L. Jackson.

Variety originally reported on the series in June, with Jackson set to first appear in the upcoming third season of “Tulsa King” before moving over to his own series. Paramount has now officially confirmed plot details for “Nola King,” with the official logline stating:

“‘Nola King’ follows Russell Lee Washington Jr. (Jackson) who, after befriending Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) during a ten-year stint in federal prison, is sent to Tulsa by New York’s Renzetti crime family to take Dwight out once and for all.

In so doing, he incurs the...

Looks like Nola King, the spinoff of Tulsa King, has hit a major bump. That’s right, showrunner Dave Erickson, who also wrote the pilot of the upcoming show, has stepped down from his role as per Deadline. At present, he’s busy with Tulsa King Season 3 and also leading Taylor Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingstown. So, with this packed schedule, he just couldn’t take on another show at the moment.

This leaves Nola King without a showrunner just as it’s gearing up for production. Now, the team behind the show needs to find a replacement fast, also giving Sheridan a chance to bring someone like Chris Brancato. He’s famous for co-creating Godfather of Harlem, a crime drama that’s smart and filled with strong characters, exactly what Nola King needs.

So, with a lead like Samuel L. Jackson and New Orleans as the setting, Chris Brancato...

Taylor Sheridan's work can be seen everywhere, from being the co-creator of the hit neo-Western drama series Yellowstone to the crime drama Tulsa King on Paramount+. Now, the writer is preparing for Tulsa King's spin-off, Nola King, starring one of the greatest actors of all time, Samuel L. Jackson. While the upcoming series is highly anticipated, production hit a major snag recently that puts a temporary dent in its timeline. According to Variety, Dave Erickson, who co-created Fear the Walking Dead, signed on as the spin-off's showrunner but had to depart due to a scheduling conflict. The series hasn't been greenlit by Paramount+ yet, but the search for another showrunner is active as the series is a high priority.

Erickson is still the showrunner for Mayor of Kingstown (joined in the second season) and Tulsa King (joined in season 3). The good news is that there are a variety of great showrunners in the industry,...

The spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King is facing a major creative hiccup. Announced in June 2024, Nola King is the proposed spinoff of Paramount+’s Sylvester Stallone-led mafia drama. While the series isn’t officially greenlit, Nola King was supposed to be set up in Tulsa King season 3, with its star, Samuel L. Jackson, guest-starring in multiple episodes.

According to a report from Variety,Dave Erickson is no longer attached to the project as Nola King’s showrunner. The departure is reportedly due to a scheduling conflict, and the search for a new showrunner is actively underway. Taylor Sheridan is still attached as executive producer, along with David C. Glasser of 101 Studios.

What Dave Erickson’s Departure Means For Tulsa King’s Spinoff The Showrunner’s Departure Will Rock The Boat

The departure of its showrunner certainly throws a wrench in things for Tulsa King’s proposed spinoff series.

Tulsa King has had a real problem keeping showrunners, and the potential spinoff series Nola King seems to be having the same troubles before it has even begun.

Variety reports that Dave Erickson is no longer set to serve as the showrunner of Nola King. This is reportedly due to a scheduling conflict, and the search for a replacement is now underway. It should be noted that Nola King hasn’t yet received an official green light from Paramount+. The potential series would star Samuel L. Jackson as a prominent gangster in New Orleans. Jackson will first appear in the upcoming third season of Tulsa King, where he’ll face off against Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi.

Terence Winter was the showrunner of the first season of Tulsa King. He later announced that he would be stepping down, reportedly due to creative differences with creator Taylor Sheridan. However,...

The Tulsa King spinoff dubbed Nola King is on the hunt for a new showrunner.

Dave Erickson, who wrote the pilot script, initially was set to run the show that would star Samuel L. Jackson. But his schedule — he’s the showrunner on the current season of Tulsa King in addition to his duties as showrunner on Taylor Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingstown — made it impossible to continue, so Nola King is moving ahead without him.

Paramount+ has yet to officially pick up the spinoff, which is expected to follow Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., who, like Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi, comes from the crime world. Jackson will appear in multiple episodes of Tulsa King‘s upcoming third season before headlining and executive producing the spinoff from 101 Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios.

Jackson’s Washington will go against Dwight in Tulsa before heading to New Orleans.

It turns out even Taylor Sheridan’s unstoppable television empire isn’t immune to a few bumps in the road. Variety is reporting that the show known as Nola King, the Tulsa King spin-off series set to star Samuel L. Jackson, has hit a significant snag. Dave Erickson, who was slated to serve as showrunner on the high-priority Paramount+ project, is no longer attached due to a scheduling conflict. The series has not yet been officially greenlit by the streamer, but sources confirm that the hunt for a new showrunner is currently underway.

Originally reported back in June, Nola King was set to expand the Tulsa King universe, bringing Jackson into the fold as a New Orleans crime boss in the same gritty, grey-area mold as Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi. The idea was for Jackson to appear in multiple episodes of Tulsa King Season 3 to lay the...

The potential “Tulsa King” spinoff series “Nola King” is changing showrunners.

Variety has learned exclusively from sources that Dave Erickson is no longer attached to run “Nola King,” which has not been formally greenlit at Paramount+ at this time. Sources say the departure was due to a scheduling conflict and that the search is actively underway to find a new showrunner for the high-priority series.

Reps for Paramount did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

“Nola King” was first reported to be in the works at Paramount+ in June. As reported at the time, the series will be set up by Jackson guest starring in multiple episodes of Season 3 of “Tulsa King” before he would move over to his own series. Exact character details are being kept under wraps, but Jackson would play a character a prominent gangster in New Orleans, similar to Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi in “Tulsa King.

Sylvester Stallone made his debut as a leading actor in a scripted television series in 2022 with Taylor Sheridan's Tulsa King. The series received positive reviews and was renewed for Season 2 and later for Season 3.

Production on Season 3 began in March 2025, with Stallone keeping fans updated via his social media account. The upcoming Season 3's pilot will be directed by Jim McKay, and brings back Stallone as Dwight "the General" Manfredi. On Jul. 1, Stallone gave an exciting filming update on Instagram, revealing that Season 3 has wrapped filming and teased exciting details about the show's future.

"Hello everyone, today is the last day of filming on Tulsa King," Stallone shares in the clip. "All good things must come to an end. But we're really happy with the show this season, a lot of surprises."

The actor didn't forget to show...

It was revealed earlier this month that Samuel L. Jackson would be joining the third season of Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King before taking center stage in his own spinoff. Stallone took to Instagram to reveal a new image from the production of Tulsa King season 3, which also offers a first look at Jackson’s character.

A post shared by Sly Stallone (@officialslystallone)

According to reports, Jackson is believed to be playing a character named Russell Lee Washington Jr. He will come into conflict with Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi during the third season, but will head down to New Orleans for the spin-off series, Nola King.

Nola King is being written by Dave Erickson, who is deeply involved in the Taylor Sheridan universe as he’s also the writer, executive producer, and showrunner on Mayor of Kingstown, as well as the third season of Tulsa King.

Veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson is finally making his way into the world of Taylor Sheridan shows. Previously, it was announced that he'd be appearing with Sylvester Stallone in the third season of the Paramount+ series Tulsa King before getting his own spinoff, and a first look at his character has now been revealed.

On Instagram, Stallone posted a new image from the set of Tulsa King Season 3. The photo features the actor posing with Jackson while having a drink and smoking a cigar. Stallone also noted in the caption, "Finally got to work with the great Samuel L. Jackson on Tulsa King. It was a great day!" The post can be seen below.

Jackson is reportedly playing the role of Russell Lee Washington Jr., but it remains to be seen how the character will interact with Stallone's Dwight Manfredi.

Taylor Sheridan’s teaming up with Samuel L. Jackson for Nola King, and the hype’s already simmering. But if Sheridan wants this New Orleans-set crime saga to truly pop, he needs to steer clear of one glaring Yellowstone universe misstep, repeating Tulsa King’s formula without fixing its flaws.

While Tulsa King had Stallone swagger, it stumbled with undercooked characters and a tone that couldn’t decide if it was gritty or goofy. With a powerhouse like Jackson leading Nola King, Sheridan’s got the perfect shot to go deeper, darker, and way sharper. Just leave the cowboy clichés and tonal whiplash behind, please.

No one has really tried to keep Taylor Sheridan down, but it seems unlikely they would be able to if they did. As well as several Yellowstone-centric shows in development, Lioness, Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, and Tulsa King, it looks like Sheridan’s dominance of Paramount+’s streaming schedules is expanding again with the latter of these shows getting its own spinoff, and bringing Samuel L.

Yes, not content with televisual domination through *checks notes* Yellowstone, prequels 1883 and 1923, Landman, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, Lioness, and The Mayor Of Kingstown, the prolific Taylor Sheridan is now looking to dig deeper into the world of Sly Stallone crime epic Tulsa King with Nola King, a New Orleans set spin-off.

According to Deadline, Jackson is in the frame to lead and executive produce the mooted Paramount+ series, which Mayor Of Kingstown and Tulsa King showrunner Dave Erickson is attached to write. If all goes according to plan, the idea is that Jackson will go head-to-head with Stallone's mob boss Dwight 'The General' Manfredi in Tulsa King's upcoming third season across multiple episodes, paving the way for the Pulp Fiction actor to dive into his own show off the back of that.

Beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson is teaming up with Taylor Sheridan. The Oscar nominee is set to lead the cast of his own series for Paramount+ which serves as a spinoff of another Sheridan-created show.

Per Deadline, Jackson has boarded the cast of a new Paramount+ series in the works dubbed Nola King. The series is being plotted as a spinoff of Sylvester Stallone's Tulsa King, hence the similar titles. To help set up the new show, Jackson will first appear in multiple episodes of Tulsa King's upcoming third season. He will then star in and executive produce Nola King. Sheridan is also executive producing alongside 101 Studios' David Glasser.

The spinoff is being written by Dave Erickson (Mayor of Kingstown). Reportedly, Jackson is playing the role of Russell Lee Washington Jr., a character who "comes from the crime world" like Stallone's Dwight "The General" Manfredi. It's believed...

Samuel L. Jackson is headed to the next big Taylor Sheridan drama.

The actor is deep in talks to tackle a Paramount+ spinoff of Tulsa King.

The Hollywood Reporter first broke the news last year that a spinoff of the Sylvester Stallone hit was in the works, with former series writer Terence Winter previously noodling an idea set in New Orleans.

Sources say the current plan is for Jackson to be introduced as a guest star character in the upcoming third season of Tulsa King — which is currently in production in Oklahoma and Atlanta — and then launch his own series. In addition, Deadline reports that Dave Erickson (Mayor of Kingstown) will be writing the spinoff after previously taking over showrunner duties on Tulsa King for the new season.

The casting would be quite a coup for executive producer Sheridan and for Paramount+. In 2023, the Guinness Book of World Records declared...

According to Variety, a spinoff of Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King is currently in the works at Paramount+, with Samuel L. Jackson set to star.

The spinoff series will be set in New Orleans and is currently titled Nola King. Jackson will make a guest-starring appearance in the upcoming third season of Tulsa King to set up the series. Deadline has a few more details, saying that Jackson is believed to be playing a character named Russell Lee Washington Jr. Much like Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi, Washington Jr. comes from the world of crime. He will face off against Dwight in the third season before heading out to take over New Orleans.

The third season of Tulsa King is currently in production in Atlanta and Oklahoma, with Jackson expected to film his episodes in July. Should everything proceed as planned, Nola King could start shooting in February. The spinoff is being written by Dave Erickson,...

Samuel L. Jackson is the latest marquee star to enter the TV world of Taylor Sheridan. The Oscar-nominated actor is poised to lead his own Paramount+ series for the prolific creator titled Nola King, sources tell Deadline. Written by Dave Erickson (Mayor of Kingstown), it is being plotted as a spinoff from the Sylvester Stallone hit Tulsa King. Jackson will appear in multiple episodes of Tulsa King‘s upcoming third season before headlining and executive producing the new series, from 101 Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios.

Details are sketchy but Jackson is believed to be playing Russell Lee Washington Jr. who, like Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi, comes from the crime world. He will go against Dwight in Tulsa before headling down to take over New Orleans.

Production on Season 3 of Tulsa King has been underway in Atlanta and Oklahoma for a couple of months. Jackson is expected to film his episodes in July,...

Updated: A spinoff of “Tulsa King” set in New Orleans is currently in the works at Paramont+, with Samuel L. Jackson attached to star and executive produce.

Variety has learned from sources that the project, currently titled “Nola King,” will be set up by a guest starring appearance from Jackson in the upcoming third season of Taylor Sheridan’s “Tulsa King.” Exact details about the new series remain under wraps, aside from the fact that Jackson would lead the series as a character similar to Sylvester Stallone’s in “Tulsa King.”

Dave Erickson, who currently works with Sheridan on both “Tulsa King” and “Mayor of Kingstown,” will serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on “Nola King.” Sheridan will also executive produce, as will David C. Glasser of 101 Studios. MTV Entertainment Studios will produce.

Reps for MTV Entertainment Studios declined to comment

Jackson is one of the most celebrated actors of his time.

Season 3 of the crime drama Tulsa King is on its way, and series star and Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone shared a new look on his Instagram.

Stallone took to Instagram last week to share a behind-the-scenes image from Tulsa King Season 3. The image features Stallone as Dwight "The General" Manfredi with his wrists restrained with zip ties. The post is captioned, "Things are getting nasty in Tulsa!"

In the comments section of the post, one of the series' newest cast members, Kevin Pollak, said, "Hey! I'm in that scene! #spoileralert." While what's happening in the image is vague, Pollak is entering the series as FBI Special Agent Musso. Some fans suspect the scene is a continuation of Season 2's cliffhanger, where Dwight was taken into custody by a group of masked men.

Changes to Season 3

With Season 2's success,...

The fire that burns brightest is often the first to fade. That might sound poetic, but it feels eerily tailored to Taylor Sheridan right now. The man who single-handedly reshaped American television with his gritty, dust-caked vision of masculinity and legacy may already be eyeing the door—not with drama, but with the quiet fatigue of someone who’s simply had enough.

Sheridan, now 54, has built an empire from Yellowstone and its ever-expanding offshoots — 1883, 1923, Tulsa King, Lioness, Landman — and yet, despite this industrial-sized output, he has openly admitted he doesn’t see himself doing this much longer.

But while retirement looms like a restless horse at the gate, Sheridan is still galloping ahead, launching new shows, running ranches, and producing record-breaking premieres. Is this burnout in slow motion, or a man too addicted to storytelling to quit? Let’s break this down.

Taylor Sheridan eyes the exit, but not just yet?...

Exclusive: Derek Rivera (All American: Homecoming) has joined the fourth season of Paramount+’s drama series Mayor of Kingstown, starring Jeremy Renner. Filming is underway in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Rivera will play Cortez, a young, cold, and measured Colombian Sicario in a recurring role.

Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption, and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.

Renner leads the cast as Mike McLusky, the titular leader of Kingstown, Michigan. Hugh Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Nishi Munshi, Taylor Handley, Hamish Allan-Headley, and Derek Webster also star. Clayton Cardenas, Edie Falco, Lennie James, and Laura Benanti are also new Season 4 additions.

Sylvester Stallone might have a new title as President Trump's "special ambassador to Hollywood," but he's still sitting on the throne as the "Tulsa King." Yes, the Paramount+ juggernaut, one in a long line of Taylor Sheridan produced series, will be returning for a third season.

It makes sense that actor turned prolific TV creative has been able to create so many of these shows (considering he wrote the "Tulsa King" pilot in less than 24 hours), and yet, despite the quick script, some say "Tulsa King" may be Sheridan's best work (or at least the most entertaining of the bunch). The tale of Dwight "The General" Manfredi (Stallone) and rise from exiled New York mafia soldier to kingpin of Tulsa, Oklahoma has produced some of the funniest, strangest characters in the entire Sheridan universe. It has also helped turn the show into a hit for Paramount+, which has...

According to Variety, Kevin Pollack has joined the cast of Tulsa King season 3. He is set to appear as a series regular playing Special Agent Musso. His character has been described as “an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.”

His roles include playing Moishe in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and appearing in Martin Scorsese’s Casino and A Few Good Men.

Pollack will join Sylvester Stallone and a stellar cast, which includes Frank Grillo, Garrett Hedlund, and Dana Delany. Pollack isn’t the only new cast member for the upcoming series of Tulsa King. Bella Heathcote is also set to join season 3, playing Cleo Montague, described as “a Tulsa native born and raised, and the daughter of a distillery owner,...

Agent Musso is certain to cause problems for Dwight "The General" Manfred (Stallone) as he establishes a mafia foothold in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This role will be as a series regular, making Pollak's part much more than a guest appearance.
