American actor Samuel L. Jackson is set to lead Frisco King, an upcoming crime comedy-drama television series and official spinoff of Tulsa King, which is scheduled to premiere on December 18, 2026, on Paramount+.
The series expands the television universe created by Taylor Sheridan, introducing a new story centred on an experienced gangster who arrives in Texas and sets out to establish a criminal empire.
According to the release details, Frisco King will debut with two episodes on its premiere date, after which new episodes will be released weekly every Friday on the streaming platform.
Paramount+ has also released an official 30-second teaser trailer, offering viewers an early look at Jackson’s character and his encounter with Sylvester Stallone, who will reprise his role from Tulsa King.
The upcoming series combines crime, comedy and drama as it follows the activities of a seasoned criminal navigating a new environment and seeking opportunities to expand his influence.
Samuel L. Jackson Leads The Cast
Jackson headlines the series as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a New Orleans gangster who was originally introduced in the third season of Tulsa King.
His character moves to Frisco, Texas, where he encounters a different setting for his criminal activities. The story follows his efforts to turn relatively small schemes into larger operations as he works towards building his own criminal empire.
Jackson’s involvement places him at the centre of the new production, which carries forward elements of the world established in Tulsa King while developing a separate storyline around his character.
The supporting cast includes Asa Germann, Kai Caster, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann. They join Jackson in the series, although further details about their individual characters have not been provided in the available information.
The production is expected to appeal to viewers who enjoy crime stories featuring ambitious underworld figures, elaborate schemes and the conflicts that arise as criminal operations grow.
Sylvester Stallone To Reprise ‘Tulsa King’ Role
One of the notable features of Frisco King is the confirmed appearance of Stallone as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, the character he plays in Tulsa King.
The cameo connects the new series directly to its parent production and offers an opportunity to bring two major Hollywood actors together within the same television universe.
The teaser trailer provides an initial glimpse of the interaction between Jackson and Stallone’s characters. In the short clip, Jackson’s character is seen wheeling, dealing and shaking hands with Stallone’s Manfredi.
Although the 30-second preview offers only a brief introduction to the series, the appearance of both actors provides an early indication of the connection between the two productions.
Stallone’s participation also reinforces the spinoff’s relationship with Tulsa King, rather than presenting it as an entirely separate crime drama.
The extent of Manfredi’s involvement in the storyline has not been detailed in the information released so far.
Taylor Sheridan Creates The Series
Sheridan, the creator behind Yellowstone and Tulsa King, has written the entire Frisco King series.
His involvement links the new production to the storytelling approach associated with his television projects, which frequently centre on influential characters operating within complicated environments.
In Frisco King, the narrative shifts from the world of the New Orleans gangster to the suburban surroundings of Frisco, Texas.
The story describes the area as a “hustler’s playground” beneath the polished exterior of American suburbia, presenting a setting where Washington sees opportunities to develop his criminal activities.
Rather than immediately beginning with a large criminal operation, his character builds towards a wider empire by turning small grifts into major ventures.
The premise combines the criminal ambitions of its central character with the comic and dramatic situations that emerge as his schemes develop.
Premiere Date And Streaming Schedule
Frisco King is scheduled to arrive on Paramount+ on December 18, 2026, with its first two episodes released on the same day.
Following the premiere, the series will continue with weekly episodes every Friday, allowing viewers to follow Washington’s activities as the story unfolds.
The recently released teaser trailer serves as the first official preview of the upcoming production, introducing Jackson’s character and offering a glimpse of his meeting with Manfredi.
With Jackson leading the cast, Stallone making a special appearance and Sheridan writing the series, Frisco King is positioned as an expansion of the Tulsa King television universe.
Its December premiere will introduce viewers to Washington’s attempt to build a criminal empire in Texas while maintaining a direct connection to the original series.
