TheTaylor SheridanTV empire just got even bigger— and it now includesSamuel L. Jackson. Last week, it was announced that Jackson would be part of Sheridan’sever-expanding TV crimeversewith aTulsa Kingspin-off currently in development at Paramount+. Speaking to Collider’sTaylor GatesalongsideThe Unholy Trinityco-starPierce Brosnan— also a Paramount+ crime drama star withMobLand— Jackson confirmed his role inNOLA King, one of the latest additions to Sheridan’s ever-expanding roster of character-driven crime dramas. While details are still tightly under wraps — or in the case of this show, not even decided yet, such is the very early stage of development — Jackson’s enthusiasm was loud and clear.
“At least 15 of those shows are on my watchlist all the time, soI’m really happy to be in that universe. I was just talking to Pierce about that earlier. I watchedTulsa King, and I liked it even before that idea came up. I know very little about what’s going to happen. I don’t know the character’s name. I don’t know what our history is. I don’t know anything about it, but I do know thatI’m very anxious to jump into it and find out what it’s going to be.”
Sheridan’sNOLA Kingis expected to be set in the gritty, corruption-laced underworld of New Orleans — a fresh backdrop for his familiar brand of tough-as-nails drama, although it remains to be seen ifSylvester Stallonewill take a trip from Oklahomadown to the Big Easy. While Jackson kept quiet on the plot or his role, his signing marks a huge grab for the Sheridan-verse, which already includesYellowstone,1883,1923,Mayor of Kingstown,andTulsa King.
