Fort Worth
Paramount+ has unveiled a first look at Taylor Sheridan’s “Frisco King.”
The crime series is a spinoff of the Sylvester Stallone-led “Tulsa King,” that sees Samuel L. Jackson reprise his role as former hitman Russell Lee Washington Jr. As the name suggests, “Frisco King” is set in Frisco, Texas.
“Frisco King” spent months filming across North Texas earlier this year, including in Dallas, Keller, Denton, Southlake, Fort Worth and, of course, Frisco.
Paramount+ has yet to set a release date for the series, although USA TODAY reported that the show will release sometime later this year. In the meantime, the studio released a slew of photos from the show.
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.
Stallone is also expected to appear in some capacity on “Frisco King,” and is an executive producer on the show.
