The Paramount+ series began production in Fort Worth in late March. Previously titled NOLA King, the show was originally supposed to be set and made in New Orleans, but is now a North Texas production.
Frisco King will star Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a hitman who crossed paths with Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King character Dwight Manfredi. Jackson appeared in the final two episodes of the show’s third season last year.
Texas-based Legacy Casting recently posted several notices for filming in the region next month. Here’s what to know.

Sheridan is writing every episode of Frisco King himself.
The show is expected to be another “fish out of water” story with Jackson’s character living and working in a city far from his New Orleans beginnings. This is the same premise for Tulsa King, which sees Stallone’s New York City character adjust to life in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Frisco King will film in Fort Worth, Plano, Dallas, Frisco, Keller, Denton and Southlake through July.
In addition to Jackson and Stallone, the show stars Kai Caster, Asa Germann, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann.
No release date has been set for the series.
