'Tulsa King' Spinoff 'NOLA King' With Samuel L. Jackson In The Works

Posted by on
  Saaaaaalutations! If you thought Paramount+ nabbing Sylvester Stallone to star in Tulsa King said something about what television had become, hear this out: Tulsa King has a New Orleans-set spinoff in development, aptly titled NOLA King , and it’s set to star Samuel L. Jackson. Exact details of NOLA King are under wraps, but Jackson’s character,   Russell Lee Washington Jr.,   has been described as similar to Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi. The series would be set up by a recurring arc in Tulsa King ’s third season, currently in production in Oklahoma and Atlanta, which explains why Variety ’s  telling didn’t call the single appearance they implied as a backdoor pilot. Jackson is expected to film his episodes in July, with production on NOLA King looking at a February start.

What's the future for Noggin?

Posted by on

Noggin is (now since March) a companion streaming service from Nick Jr (it was originally a preschool channel before Nickelodeon dormant the brand; check out Jay's Corner's article). It provides multiple learning activities, select episodes from Nick Jr, and even original.

Noggin is supposed to be a direct competitor to the infamous ABCMouse service. The big difference was that Noggin has Nick Jr. episodes. It's also an add-on channel to online video providers such as Amazon's Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Roku Channel. Most Noggin original shorts have started to appear on Paramount+. Their recent new shows, Kinderwood and Noggin Knows are currently exclusive to the service.

The question is why would they do this if Paramount+ is around?

ViacomCBS stated they wanted to keep Noggin because of its learning values and I can definitely see that (Keep in mind they've never referenced Noggin during its February or Q1 events). But the fact Noggin is also an add-on service to video providers just shows that Nickelodeon mostly used Noggin as a preschool supplement to NickHits (both services were $7.99) before it shut down the day before Paramount+'s launch.

To be honest, if ViaccomCBS really wants it to stick around, Noggin should be focusing more on its educational values (learning activities) and less on being a video streaming provider with Paramount+ having majority of the Nick Jr. shows.

What do you think ViacomCBS should do with Noggin?
