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.

'Star Trek: Prodigy' Cast Revealed

Posted by on

Paramount+ revealed the cast for the new original series Star Trek: Prodigy.

Here is the cast for the new show:

Rylee Alazraqui (Doug Unplugs, Home Economics) as "Rok-Tahk," a Brikar and an unusually bright eight-year-old girl. Rok is a bit shy, but not when it comes to her love for animals.

Brett Gray (On My Block, When They See Us) as "Dal," 17 years old and an unknown species, he fancies himself a maverick, who even in the toughest times, holds strong onto his unwavering hope.

Angus Imrie (The Crown, Emma) as "Zero," who is a Medusan: a noncorporeal, genderless, energy-based lifeform. Since others would go mad at the sight of their true self, Zero wears a containment suit they made themselves to protect others.

Jason Mantzoukas (Infinite, Big Mouth, The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) as "Jankom Pog," a 16-year-old Tellarite. Tellarites are known to relish an argument, and Jankom is no different. Regardless of opinion, he will always play 'devil's advocate' for the sake of hearing all sides.

Ella Purnell (Army of the Dead, Sweetbitter) as "Gwyn," a 17-year-old Vau N'Akat who was raised on her father's bleak mining planet and grew up dreaming to explore the stars.

Dee Bradley Baker (SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Legend of the Hidden Temple) as "Murf," whose age and species is unknown but who is an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts.

Star Trek: Prodigy is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and CBS Studios. It premieres later this year on Paramount+ and then on Nickelodeon.
