'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...

#WeSavedStarTrekProdigy: Co-EP And Co-Head Writer Aaron J. Waltke Sets Course

Posted by on

 

It was already looking to be incredibly likely that Star Trek: Prodigy was going to land at a new home by August after Paramount+ abandoned it in June, but that doesn't make it any less a celebration when today it was announced the show had landed at Netflix and that season 2 would premiere there next year. While in our initial coverage developers/executive producers/showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman gave their statement with Alex Kurtzman, promoted co-executive producer and co-head writer Aaron J. Waltke tweeted out his statement, opening his hailing frequencies.

At last, we can share the news...Star Trek: Prodigy has landed! Our show is thrilled to be joining NETFLIX for the ongoing adventures of the Protostar crew. Star Trek fans across the galaxy, and young cadets in the making, have been granted the chance to see our series, many for the first time. With a truly global audience, it is an extraordinary opportunity to grow our already formidable fanbase.

It is in no small part thanks to you, the fandom, who demonstrated through your extraordinary efforts that the stories of Starfleet, and the outsiders who aspire to it, will endure. We are so deeply humbled and grateful beyond words. Many on the Prodigy team, including myself and the Hagemans, have created some exceptional television with Netflix, and we very much look forward to doing so again.

The possibilities are endless now that the world can see all 40 episodes of Prodigy's first and second seasons in one place, which our passionate cast and crew have worked so tirelessly on, with the potential for more as we boldly go and seek out this new horizon. If you wish to see more Dal and Gwyn and Rok-Tahk and Zero and Jankom and Murf, viewing the show on Netflix as soon as it drops, and telling others the good news, to do the same, is unequivocally the way. 

There's not much more to say. Other than...Go fast. Spread the word. Together...

... We Saved Star Trek: Prodigy.

Set a course for home.

While everything is pretty straightforward, he does warn of the streamer's business habits, but is still hopeful through on through. Oh, and that prior work for Netflix? Tales of Arcadia for DreamWorks. The Hagemans and Waltke were together for Trollhunters, while Waltke, a writer/staff writer, was elevated to showrunner, co-executive producer, and head writer for the third Tale, Wizards. That was ten episodes. Live long and prosper.
