The Tulsa King<\/em> universe is expanding, and Samuel L. Jackson<\/a> is leading the charge.<\/p>\n Paramount+ confirmed that Jackson will headline NOLA King<\/em><\/a>, a spinoff centered on his character Russell Lee Washington Jr. The series follows Washington after his stint in Tulsa King<\/em> Season 3, where he crosses paths with Dwight \u201cThe General\u201d Manfredi, played by Sylvester Stallone.<\/p>\n According to the official logline, NOLA King<\/em> will dive into Washington\u2019s return to New Orleans after decades away. Once sent to Tulsa by New York\u2019s Renzetti crime family to take down Manfredi, Washington instead becomes inspired by what Dwight built.<\/p>\n The series will follow him as he rekindles relationships, tries to rebuild his life, and faces new enemies\u2014both criminal and law enforcement\u2014in the city he abandoned 42 years earlier.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

Production on the spinoff is slated to begin in February 2026.<\/p>\n Before NOLA King<\/em> takes shape, Jackson\u2019s debut in Tulsa King<\/em> Season 3 is already generating buzz. For Stallone, sharing the screen with the legendary actor came with some unexpected pressure.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I heard that was gonna happen, I went, \u2018Oh, this is gonna be a fist fight. This is gonna be a battle,\u2019\u201d Stallone told People<\/em><\/a>. \u201cLike two boxers in a ring, and who is gonna throw the first punch? So you\u2019re getting nervous because you\u2019re dealing with serious competition.\u201d<\/p>\n The nerves didn\u2019t last long. Stallone, who has starred in all three seasons of the Paramount+ drama, says Jackson immediately set the tone.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce he walks in, he goes, \u2018Hey, dude brother,\u2019 and I went, \u2018Oh, here it goes.’ But now we\u2019re good. Now we\u2019re flowing.\u201d He even joked that the two clicked so well they could star in a buddy-style version of the show.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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. \u201cYou have to go 100%, not 99,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t hold back anything. So that\u2019s really what my legacy is, that I didn\u2019t quit.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a> ‘Tulsa King’ Spin-Off ‘NOLA King’ Starring Samuel L.
