by

In a recent development, Samuel L. Jackson has been signed for a spin-off of “Tulsa King,” titled “NOLA King.” Although specifics about the plot are yet to be revealed, sources suggest that Jackson will portray Russell Lee Washington Jr., a crime boss who relocates from Tulsa, Oklahoma to New Orleans, Louisiana, following conflicts with Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone). Notably, Jackson’s character will make an appearance in season 3 of “Tulsa King” to establish his presence and pave the way for the spin-off series.

Acting in a series like “Tulsa King,” produced by Taylor Sheridan, is a fantastic opportunity for any actor. Taylor Sheridan’s past shows consistently attract massive audiences, and “Tulsa King” is among the most-watched and well-received on Paramount+. While Samuel L. Jackson’s top films and series stand on their own merit, it’s always beneficial to join a project that’s almost certain to be successful. “NOLA King” could also continue one of Jackson’s best career trends, and it might even surpass one of his greatest movies ever made.

In the third season of Tulsa King and his upcoming role in NOLA King, Samuel L. Jackson continues to excel in compelling crime dramas, potentially surpassing his performance in Pulp Fiction.

In the new series NOLA King, Samuel L. Jackson will have an edge over his memorable role in Pulp Fiction, as he’ll get to portray a crime boss rather than a henchman for Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). While Jules from Pulp Fiction was a captivating character, he was essentially muscle for hire. In NOLA King, Jackson will have the opportunity to breathe life into a more powerful character, Russell, and given his exceptional acting abilities, he’s poised to deliver an unforgettable performance. This role seems tailor-made for Jackson’s commanding screen presence and intensity, and we can expect some remarkable moments from him in the Tulsa King spinoff show.
