Samuel L. Jackson’s ‘Tulsa King’ Spinoff Reveals New Cast

Samuel L. Jackson fans, get excited! There’s a new show coming to Paramount+ that you won’t want to miss. It’s a spinoff of Tulsa King, and it’s called Frisco King. The series will be led by none other than Jackson himself, playing the character Russell Lee Washington Jr., who has a shady past in the world of crime.

The cast lineup is looking pretty star-studded with Asa Germann, Kai Caster, Lilah Pate, and Savanna Gann joining Jackson. Germann will play Teddy, a sharp college dropout who catches Lee’s attention. Caster will portray Keith, a polite valet at the local Sandman Hotel. Pate’s character, London, is a cheerleading goddess recruited by Lee, and Gann will play Avery, London’s friend also joining Lee’s crew.

Originally, Dave Erickson was set to be in charge of writing and overseeing the show, but now all eight episodes of Frisco King will be written by Taylor Sheridan himself, the mastermind behind the show. This news was met with great excitement by Matt Thunell, president of Paramount Television Studios, who is confident that Sheridan’s vision will bring Jackson’s iconic character to life in a spectacular way.

For those wondering when the show will premiere, it’s a bit too early to say. However, production is slated to kick off in March 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas, so stay tuned for updates on the release date.

As for the plot, initially, the spinoff was supposed to take Washington from Tulsa to New Orleans to lead a crime syndicate. But with the new title change to Frisco King, it seems like the show’s setting has also changed to Frisco, Texas. This fresh angle offers exciting possibilities for where the story might go.

Exciting times are ahead for fans of Samuel L. Jackson and Taylor Sheridan’s gripping storytelling. Be sure to keep an eye out for more updates on Frisco King as production gets underway!
