The Tulsa King universe is expanding, and Samuel L. Jackson is leading the charge.
Paramount+ confirmed that Jackson will headline NOLA King, a spinoff centered on his character Russell Lee Washington Jr. The series follows Washington after his stint in Tulsa King Season 3, where he crosses paths with Dwight “The General” Manfredi, played by Sylvester Stallone.
According to the official logline, NOLA King will dive into Washington’s return to New Orleans after decades away. Once sent to Tulsa by New York’s Renzetti crime family to take down Manfredi, Washington instead becomes inspired by what Dwight built.
The series will follow him as he rekindles relationships, tries to rebuild his life, and faces new enemies—both criminal and law enforcement—in the city he abandoned 42 years earlier.
Dave Erickson, also behind Mayor of Kingstown, will serve as showrunner, while Taylor Sheridan returns as an executive producer. Production on the spinoff is slated to begin in February 2026.
Before NOLA King takes shape, Jackson’s debut in Tulsa King Season 3 is already generating buzz. For Stallone, sharing the screen with the legendary actor came with some unexpected pressure.
“When I heard that was gonna happen, I went, ‘Oh, this is gonna be a fist fight. This is gonna be a battle,’” Stallone told People. “Like two boxers in a ring, and who is gonna throw the first punch? So you’re getting nervous because you’re dealing with serious competition.”
The nerves didn’t last long. Stallone, who has starred in all three seasons of the Paramount+ drama, says Jackson immediately set the tone.
“Once he walks in, he goes, ‘Hey, dude brother,’ and I went, ‘Oh, here it goes.’ But now we’re good. Now we’re flowing.” He even joked that the two clicked so well they could star in a buddy-style version of the show.
Though this is their first professional collaboration, Stallone revealed that the two had actually been neighbors for nearly 30 years, only crossing paths occasionally at events.
For Stallone, who has built a career defined by grit and resilience, the matchup with Jackson was a reminder of why he still pushes himself. “You have to go 100%, not 99,” he said. “I didn’t hold back anything. So that’s really what my legacy is, that I didn’t quit.”
