'Tulsa King' Spinoff 'NOLA King' With Samuel L. Jackson In The Works

  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.

'The Family Stallone' Season 2 Trailer Keeps Punching


Come Mr. Italyman, Italy meet Stallone-a (again). Paramount+ has released the trailer for the second second season of their reality series The Family Stallone, which releases next week on the streamer.

The trailer cuts between the various events that the Stallone sisters attend, including Sistine being part of a blind dating show while chasing dreams in New York City with sister Sophia, while Sly shadowboxes with Pope Francis. That is likely in the final leg of the season with the big trip to Italy. The season sees the Tulsa King star and his wife Jennifer  leaving Hollywood for good and moving east, setting up roots in Palm Beach as empty nesters. Scarlet meanwhile navigates college and a new boyfriend in Miami, who the trailer indicates might be having a chat with Sylvester in one of his cars. That aforementioned season-ending trip to Italy is poised to see them explore their history, rekindle love and make a lifetime of memories.

All 10 episodes will premiere on the service on Wednesday February 21 in the United States and Canada. Other international audiences, including France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and South Korea the next day, February 22, will be getting the episodes on a weekly release model. Audiences on the same (western) hemisphere as the United States, namely in Latin America and Brazil, will get the episodes Wednesdays starting same-day as the States’ drop day. It is unclear if such has ever happened before for a show on a single platform. The ten episode season is an increase of two from its eight-episode freshman run.

The Family Stallone is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, with Benjamin Hurvitz and Nadim Amiry as executive producers. Julie Pizzi, Farnaz Farjam and Jonathan Singer serve as executive producers for Bunim-Murray Productions with Chris Ray and Jason Williams as co-executive producers.
