'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...

Burnham Has Sax-y Thoughts In First 'Star Trek: Discovery' Final Season Clip

Posted by on

 


Star Trek: Discovery is headed toward its fifth and final season next year, and fans at San Diego Comic-Con got to see the first clip, which was later posted to Paramount+'s YouTube channel.

The clip sees Captain Michael Burnham, played by Sonequa Martin Green pursue two mercenary scavengers: Moll, played by The Expanse‘s Eve Harlow, and L’ak, played by The Night Agent's Elias Toufexis by activating her suit’s magnetization onto their starship in the midst of warp speed travel. The duo had just triggered an explosion, sending Burnham hurtling into space. She’s joined by another Starfleet captain, Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie), as the U.S.S. Discovery crew struggles to lock onto her in the warp bubble. This includes Saru, played by Doug Jones and the present Doctor Kovich, played by director David Cronenberg.

The fact that Moll and L'ak are in possession of an artifact Burnham is seeking, they are most certainly the "others" on the hunt to find "an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries", as the season's logline tells. "Dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it". There are likely to be more met along the way. The scene can be watched below.

Star Trek: Discovery's final season also sees the returning crew consisting of Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets, Mary Wiseman as Sylvia Tilly, Wilson Cruz as Dr. Hugh Culber, David Ajala as Cleveland “Book” Booker, and Blu del Barrio as Adira. It was part of the initial class of original programming when the service launched as CBS All Access. It subsequently led the renaissance of Star Trek on television, or at least the stage of television evolution in 2017. The series and streamer released a look ahead as well. With Lower Decks starting in September, and the abandonment of Prodigy meaning the "Winter 2023" run was aborted, it's possible that the most movement Discovery will do is move closer inside the 2024 side of the winter window Prodigy was meant to occupy.
