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.

Stephen Moyer-Starring Prequel Series 'Sexy Beast' Gets Premiere Date And Trailer

Posted by on


Paramount+ has set the release date and unleashed the trailer for Sexy Beast, the prequel series for the 2000 British gangster film of the same name. This series adaptation stars James McArdle, Emun Elliott, Tamsin Greig, Stephen Moyer and Sarah Greene. The series will premiere exclusively on the service in the United State and all international territories were available on January 25.

McArdle and Elliott step into the roles of Gary "Gal” Dove and Don Logan, originally played by Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley. This prequel explores their complicated relationship as small town thieves and best friends finding themselves falling into London’s mad criminal world during the vibrant and volatile 1990s. Gal’s emerging relationship with adult film star Deedee, played by Greene threatens everything as she endangers herself with “ambitions to control her own personal destiny”. Moyer, probably most familiar to a millennial audience for starring on the HBO series True Blood, plays Teddy Bass, a treacherous, up-and-coming gangster, who manages to ensnare Gal and Don into this criminal network, while Greig is Don’s older sister Cecilia, described as pathologically controlling and formidable.

“I feel very fortunate to be a part of this world,” said series star McArdle. “The original story leaves so much space for us all to wonder what happened within Gal and Don’s friendship in the years prior. I’m looking forward to everyone being able to rediscover these characters and find out.” The cast also includes Eliza Bennett, Clea Martin, Nicholas Nunn, Peter Ferdinando, John Dagleish, Robbie Gee, Paul Kaye, Lex Shrapnel, Cally Lawrence, David Kennedy, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Ralph Brown, Nitin Ganatra and Alice Bailey Johnson. The Paramount Global-owned series has a litany of executive producers including the film’s original writers David Scinto and Louis Mellis. Watch the trailer below.
