'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.

Another Live-Action 'Dora the Explorer' Movie in Development At Paramount+

Posted by on


And we thought she was done exploring.

Paramount is reportedly developing a live-action Dora the Explorer movie for a 2023 release on Paramount+.

It's unsure if the live-action series that was announced back in 2021 is being reworked into this movie or if they're doing both at the same time with the movie as a backdoor pilot.

The live-action series could/would be inspired by the tone of the live-action movie Dora and the Lost City of Gold, with this new version for Paramount+ targeting the tween demo.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold is directed by James Bobin, produced by Christopher Robin producer Kristin Burr, who is joined by longtime Bobin associate, executive producer John G. Scotti (The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted, Alice Through the Looking Glass) as well as executive producers Julia Pistor (The Spiderwick Chronicles, A Series of Unfortunate Events) and Eugenio Derbez. Tom Wheeler wrote the story, and Nicholas Stoller and Matthew Robinson penned the screenplay. Walden Media is co-financing and co-producing the film with Paramount. Dora and the Lost City of Gold was filmed entirely in Australia's Gold Coast, in the state of Queensland on the continent's east coast south of Brisbane.

The animated Dora the Explorer series is still slated for 2023 on Paramount+ as nothing has changed. All we know is that the girl and her monkey friend from Costa Rica is going to make a grand return.

What do you think about Dora getting another movie?
