📖 Full Retelling
Taylor Sheridan's upcoming Tulsa King spinoff starring Samuel L. Jackson has been officially renamed to Frisco King after the series, formerly titled NOLA King, underwent a creative overhaul that moved its setting from New Orleans to Frisco, Texas. The series, which initially had Dave Erickson attached as showrunner with a pilot script set in New Orleans, has been reimagined with Sheridan now writing all eight episodes himself. Erickson, who had been set to lead the project, departed in July, and no new showrunner has been named, leaving it unclear whether the series will have one at all, as not all of Sheridan's projects have utilized this traditional structure. Production is slated to begin in late March at Fort Worth, Texas, where Sheridan and his frequent collaborator David C. Glasser opened a production campus last year, taking advantage of the local infrastructure and incentives that have made Texas an increasingly popular filming location for major television productions.
