'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.

Hulu Loses Over 1,000 Movies; Questions EPIX Near Future

Honestly, this should give more confidence to Disney so they can eventually move its content from Hulu to Disney+ and would further prove my prediction of the closure of EPIX.

What do you think about Hulu losing 1,000 movies?
