The news has finally been officially announced: Samuel L. Jackson will join the franchise of TaylorSheridan's new series -The King of New Orleans (NOLA King), a hit series on Paramount on the platformThe King of Tulsa (TulsaKing) derivative work.

It is worth mentioning that Jackson will debut his role in the upcoming Season 3 of Kings of Tulsa (as shown above).This character will become an important bridge connecting emotions and destiny between the two series.

The official plot summary reads: "The King of New Orleans tells the story of Russell Lee Washington Jr. (played by Jackson).During his ten-year sentence in federal prison, he established a deep friendship with Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone). The New York-based Renzeti Crime Family sent him to Tulsa with the intention of a complete end to Dwight's life. However, after witnessing everything Dwight created in Tulsa, Washington was deeply moved by the possibility of a "second chance." He decided to return to New Orleans, which he had abandoned 40 years ago, in an attempt to repair his relationship with his family and old friends, and regain control of the city he had left. It was this move that angered his former employer in New York and put him in the threat of his old rivals, both in the underworld and in the police force.

For the actor who has won numerous applause for "Hateful Eight", "The King of New Orleans" will be the first long-term TV series in his career.He has previously appeared in several limited series, such as Apple TV's "The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey" and Marvel's "Secret Invasion", but this time, he will embark on a brand new screen journey as the protagonist.

This signing is undoubtedly a major victory for producer Taylor Sheridan and the Paramount platform.In 2023, "Guinness World Records" was officially confirmed: Samuel L. Jackson became the highest-grossing actor in history with his cumulative global box office results of more than US$7 billion in movies.From the Avengers series to Pulp Fiction (who won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this film), to Jurassic Park, his name has long been part of the film legend.So far, he has participated in more than 150 movies.

Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and president of Showtime/MTV Entertainment, said in a statement: “Samuel L. Jackson has unrivalled stage charm and global influence. He is the best candidate to continue our most successful IP popularity and expand it into a huge film and television universe. Based on the huge success of "The King of Tulsa", audiences will appreciate Jackson's more complex and intense performances through this new work, further strengthening the brand power of Paramount's flagship series."

Sylvester Stallone added: "When Chris McCarthy came up with this very transformative idea to me, I knew it was not just a story about the gang leader, but a grand narrative that blends family, loyalty and redemption. I immediately agreed. Samuel Jackson was the only one who could support this new adventure, and David Glaser and Studio 101 were the ideal partner to achieve this vision."

The executive production team of "King of New Orleans" is luxurious, including Taylor Sheridan, Sylvester Stallone, Samuel L. Jackson, David Glaser, Ron Burkel, David Hackin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman and Keith Cox.
