The Tulsa King spinoff, Frisco King, has added four actors to its cast. The newcomers join series star Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Russell Lee Washington Jr., a character who was introduced during season three of Tulsa King.
The just-announced new cast includes Asa Germann (Gen V, Scream 7), Kai Caster (Spider-Noir), Lilah Pate (Outer Banks), and Savanna Gann (English Teacher). The eight-episode season will begin shooting in Fort Worth this month. Series creator Taylor Sheridan is writing the first season and executive producing.
Paramount+ offered this description of the new characters:
- Asa Germann will play Teddy, a sharp, savvy, entrepreneurial college dropout who gets Lee’s attention.
- Kai Caster will play Keith, a polite valet at the local Sandman Hotel.
- Lilah Pate will play London, a local cheerleading goddess recruited by Lee, who’s not afraid to use her good looks to get what she wants.
- Savanna Gann will play Avery, a fellow cheerleader and friend of London’s who’s also recruited to join Lee’s crew.
The spinoff was originally developed as NOLA King before Sheridan shifted the action from New Orleans to Frisco, Texas.
Additional executive producers include Sylvester Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and Keith Cox. Voros and Friedman will direct the first season.
Frisco King is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios.
