'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...

Next 'South Park' Special Fattens Up In 'The End Of Obesity'; Watch Trailer

Posted by on

 


Where in the world is season 27 of South Park? The public certainly doesn’t know. If the trades do, they’re not saying. But somehow, the next Paramount+ special is coming anyway, specifically next week. The streamer has announced “The End of Obesity” will take South Park on an Ozempic tale when it premieres May 24 in the United States and Canada, and May 25 in Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

It’s somewhat better advance notice than what the previous special “(Not Suitable For Children)” received, as while it had “print” ads on websites and its trailer ran on YouTube, it wasn’t officially released and properly uploaded until the day of its December 20 release. The description tells that new weight loss drugs have entered the culture of South Park, to massive impact. When Cartman is denied access to the life-changing medicine, Kyle, Stan, Butters and Kenny jump into action on his order. Cartman gazes at himself in the mirror, lamenting his girth while his friends run lab experiments fully dressed in the wear, preparing him to take the drugs. Check out the poster below.

With this being the seventh Paramount+ special, it’s somewhat clear that they have no set landing points, though this one happens to be the equivalent week before part 1 of “The Streaming Wars” was released in 2022. The first pair was released late in the year, though tighter than last year’s were, as “Joining the Panderverse” was a late October release as opposed to the late November “Post-COVID” release. What’s different this year is the regular season is relatively overdue. Both seasons ran from February to March on Comedy Central, which season 27 has obviously missed. Some believe they’re just running out the clock until the backlog comes home to Paramount+ from Max, who knows what state Paramount as a whole will be in. The show is streaming on Paramount+ in many countries but the domestic contract with Max is set to expire within the year. Watch the trailer below.
