No one has really tried to keepTaylor Sheridandown, but it seems unlikely they would be able to if they did. As well as severalYellowstone-centric shows in development,Lioness, Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, andTulsa King, it looks like Sheridan’s dominance of Paramount+’s streaming schedules is expanding again with the latter of these shows getting its own spinoff, and bringingSamuel L. Jacksonalong for the ride.
Tulsa King, just like every Sheridan creation, is not short of big-name stars. Being highly marketed as the first leading TV role of action movie verteran Sylvester Stallone, the series has brought theRockyandRambostalwart to a new playground. In his role as Dwight “the General” Manfredi, Stallone has delivered one of the best roles of his recent career offerings, and in the third season, which is currently shooting, he will be joined by another industry icon, Samuel L. Jackson.
All 10 TV Shows and Movies Taylor Sheridan Is Currently Working On
Taylor Sheridan is one of Hollywood’s most exciting talents, with the writer, director, & producer extraordinaire having notably created Yellowstone.
Although there are currently few details about the new season available, it was reported byDeadlinethat Jackson will appear in multiple episodes ofTulsa KingSeason 3 as Russell Lee Washington, a man who comes from the same type of criminal background as Stallone’s Manfredi, and who will go toe to toe with the crime boss before heading down to New Orleans, Louisiana, where his story will continue inNOLA King, a spinoff being written byMayor of Kingstownscribe, Dave Erickson.
Could ‘Tulsa King’ Be as Sprawling as ‘Yellowstone?’
If there is one thing that Taylor Sheridan seems to love more than anything else, it is building big worlds for his characters to live in. WithYellowstone, it included multi-generational storytelling across two prequel shows,1883and1923, and is set to continue with several other integrated shows both in the past andthe future of theYellowstonestory. Now, it looks likeTulsa Kingwill be kicking off its own TV universe withNOLA King.
While the story will seemingly not be following Manfredi directly, the fact that the show is getting a spinoff – which was reportedly based on an idea by Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios’ CEO Chris McCarthy – shows that there are always attempts being made to expand on the characters and stories in Sheridan’s bulging book of tales. In all honesty, a show looking back at a young Dwight Manfredi is probably already on someone’s to-do list.
Season 3 ofTulsa Kingis expected to arrive on screens before the end of the year, and sources have put the filming onNOLA Kingas being set for early 2026. This means that the spinoff will likely be airing sometime in late summer 2026, and will join several other series, including two newYellowstonesequel shows, more fromLioness, and who knows what other glorious gifts from the never-ending churn of Taylor Sheridan’s mind.
