The expanding Tulsa King<\/a> universe is still deep in production mode. New filming activity tied to Frisco King is scheduled to hit Southlake, Texas, this week, bringing more road closures and another sign that the Samuel L. Jackson<\/a>-led series is steadily moving forward \u2014 even though Paramount+ still hasn\u2019t announced a release date.<\/p>\n

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/a>, production crews will be filming from May 11 through May 13 near Players Circle on the west side of Southlake. Traffic along FM 1709 between Randol Mill\/Davis Boulevard and Peytonville is expected to pause intermittently during filming, while sections of Players Circle will also be temporarily shut down. Southlake\u2019s Department of Public Safety said businesses in the area have already been notified and that crews will attempt to avoid rush-hour disruptions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese brief, rolling closures will occur throughout the day to support filming activities while avoiding rush hour traffic,\u201d the department said in a public statement.<\/p>\n

The new filming schedule continues a growing list of North Texas locations already used by the production. Previous shoots took place at Southlake Town Square, Keller Sports Park, and the Tarrant County Courthouse.<\/p>\n

Earlier casting calls also revealed that the production was seeking extras to appear as baseball fans, warehouse workers, gas-station pedestrians, sheriff\u2019s deputies, and cheerleaders in scenes filmed throughout April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project marks a major evolution for the franchise built by Taylor Sheridan. Originally announced as NOLA King, the series was first conceived as a New Orleans-set continuation centered around Samuel L. Jackson\u2019s Russell Lee Washington Jr.<\/p>\n

But Paramount+ later shifted the story to Texas and renamed it Frisco King. <\/a>Sheridan is now writing all eight episodes himself after Dave Erickson reportedly stepped away from the project due to scheduling conflicts.<\/p>\n

Jackson\u2019s character debuted in the final episodes of Tulsa King Season 3 as a veteran hitman sent to kill Dwight \u201cThe General\u201d Manfredi, played by Sylvester Stallone<\/a>. Instead of carrying out the hit, Russell teamed up with Dwight after revealing that they had a shared prison history.<\/p>\n

In the finale, Russell hinted at building a criminal operation of his own after watching Dwight establish power in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing what you\u2019ve done here makes me want to go back to New Orleans and maybe start something new,\u201d Russell said during the episode \u2014 a line that initially set up the original NOLA King concept before the series pivoted to Texas.<\/p>\n

The series is expected to follow Russell as he attempts to establish himself in unfamiliar territory, echoing the \u201cfish out of water\u201d formula that helped turn Tulsa King into one of Paramount+\u2019s biggest streaming hits.<\/p>\n
