Overview

• NOLA King is designed as a Tulsa King spinoff starring Samuel L. Jackson as a New Orleans gangster with Taylor Sheridan and David C. Glasser as executive producers.
• Dave Erickson stepped away as showrunner on July 11 due to scheduling conflicts despite his overall deal with MTV Entertainment Studios.
• Paramount+ has not yet greenlit the series but has launched an active search for a new showrunner to guide the high-priority project.
• Jackson will introduce his character through multiple guest appearances in Tulsa King Season 3, filmed in Atlanta and Oklahoma, to set up the spin-off narrative.
• The spin-off aims to mirror Tulsa King’s gritty tone by featuring Jackson in a role akin to Sylvester Stallone’s crime boss character from the original series.
