The first look at Taylor Sheridan‘s Tulsa King spinoff has arrived. Paramount+ released a teaser Thursday morning for the upcoming series Frisco King starring Samuel L. Jackson.
In Frisco King, Jackson reclaims the role of Russell Lee Washington Jr., this time lording over a Texas suburb. The series premieres December 18 with two episodes followed by new episodes every Friday.
Watch the teaser above.
Written entirely by Sheridan, Frisco King follows seasoned New Orleans gangster Lee Washington as he lands in Frisco, Texas, and discovers a hustler’s playground hidden beneath the polished surface of American suburbia. Recruiting an ambitious protégé, a loyal driver, and a growing network of eccentric partners, Lee transforms small hustles into big business. But, every new score raises the stakes, and as his influence grows, so do the risks, forcing Lee to stay one grift ahead. Frisco may not know it yet, but its new king has arrived.
Jackson’s character, Russell Lee Washington Jr., was first introduced in the third season of Tulsa King, which premiered in September on Paramount+.
In addition to Jackson, the series stars Asa Germann, Kai Caster, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann, with a special appearance by Sylvester Stallone.
Produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, Frisco King is executive produced by Sheridan, Stallone, Jackson. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Keith Cox also executive produce. Additionally, Voros and Friedman both directed four episodes with Voros directing the pilot.
