'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. Dave Erickson will be writing the spin-off after previously taking over showrunner duties on  Tulsa King starting with this new third  season.  He is expected to transition fro...

The 'Frasier' Revival Welcomes Anders Keith And Jess Salgueiro

Posted by on


 The Frasier cast continues to grow! After recasting the radio psychologist's son Freddy with Jack Cutmore-Scott and bringing aboard Nicholas Lyndhurst as Professor Alan Cornwall, Frasier's boozy old college buddy, another pair has boarded the Paramount+ revival: Anders Keith and Jess Salgueiro.

Keith, in his first television or film role, is set to play David. David is the son of Niles Crane and Daphne Moon, and was born during the original series finale. Thus, he's Frasier's nephew, an "awkward college freshman with a penchant for off-kilter observations." David has his father's intelligence, and his mother's smile, but seemingly neither of their elegance. He has a bit of unearned confidence some are bewildered by, but his sincere enthusiasm is something his uncle has been pretty fond of. Keith graduated Julliard just last May.

But hey, cousin Freddy's got a roommate! Her name is Eve, and she'll be played by Salgueiro. She's described as "spontaneous, outgoing, and bursting with creative energy", even when it wasn't called for. She apparently connects with Frasier as much as she has with his son and thus becomes the connective tissue and biggest cheerleader in their journey to reconciliation. Salgueiro has appeared in such shows as Y: The Last Man, Letterkenny, Workin’ Moms, The Boys, and The Expanse. She will also be appearing in Apple's upcoming Godzilla series.

Originally announced just about two years ago, the public still only has that vague plot summary to go off of. It's still not known what new city Frasier is off to, which now presumably amounts to where David is going to college and where Freddy has uprooted himself in this current low point, but it can't be Chicago since that's where he landed nearly 20 years ago, it wouldn't be all that new. Wherever they are, viewers will find out when the revival premieres sometime this year.
