Samuel L. Jackson is set to star in his first TV series, NOLA KING, a spinoff from the hit show TULSA KING. Jackson will play the character Russell Lee Washington Jr. in the upcoming third season of TULSA KING, which is scheduled to premiere in September.
NOLA KING follows Washington Jr., who, after making friends with Dwight Manfredi during a ten-year prison stint, is sent to Tulsa by New York’s Renzetti crime family to take out Dwight once and for all. However, inspired by the positive change he witnessed in Tulsa and the hope of second chances, Washington returns to New Orleans, the city he left behind forty years ago. There, he aims to rebuild his relationships with his family and friends and regain control of the city. But in doing so, he faces challenges from his former employers in New York and adversaries from his past in New Orleans.
