Fort Worth<\/p>\n

Taylor Sheridan\u2019s \u201cFrisco King\u201d<\/a> will release in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Paramount+ announced Thursday that the Samuel L. Jackson-led series will premiere two episodes on Friday, Dec. 18. The eight-episode show, which filmed in North Texas, will then release weekly on Fridays through January.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrisco King\u201d is a spinoff of Sheridan\u2019s \u201cTulsa King\u201d and sees Jackson reprise his role as former hitman Russell Lee Washington Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Frisco King\u2019 follows seasoned New Orleans gangster Lee Washington as he lands in Frisco, Texas, and discovers a hustler\u2019s playground hidden beneath the polished surface of American suburbia. Recruiting an ambitious prot\u00e9g\u00e9, a loyal driver, and a growing network of eccentric partners, Lee transforms small hustles into big business. But, every new score raises the stakes, and as his influence grows, so do the risks, forcing Lee to stay one grift ahead. Frisco may not know it yet, but its new king has arrived,\u201d the show\u2019s logline reads.<\/p>\n

In addition to the date and poster, Paramount+ also shared the first trailer for \u201cFrisco King.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 30-second teaser sees Jackson hustling around town, making money and recruiting his team of crooks. Stallone appears in the teaser and tells Jackson to see how far he can take things.<\/p>\n

A couple of Frisco landmarks appear in the teaser like the city\u2019s water tower and the Sandman Signature Plano-Frisco Hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrisco King\u201d spent months filming across North Texas<\/a> earlier this year, including in Dallas, Keller, Denton, Southlake, Fort Worth and, of course, Frisco. The show also spent time in Atlanta<\/a>, where the last few seasons of \u201cTulsa King\u201d filmed.<\/p>\n

While \u201cFrisco King\u201d has settled into the North Texas suburb, the show was originally supposed to be set and filmed in New Orleans under the title \u201cNOLA King.\u201d<\/p>\n

Somewhere down the line, Sheridan relocated and retitled the show<\/a> to Frisco. He wrote all eight episodes of the show himself and brought on Christina Alexandra Voros and Michael Friedman to split directing duties.<\/p>\n

In addition to Jackson and Stallone, \u201cFrisco King\u201d stars Asa Germann, Kai Caster, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann.<\/p>\n
