The name Taylor Sheridan has commanded some A-list talent to the shows he’s created or is attached to. For series television, it started off with Kevin Costner and Yellowstone, then Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in 1883, then Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in 1923. Next came Jeremy Renner in Mayor of Kingstown and then Sylvester Stallone in Tulsa King in his first ever television series role. Now, Samuel L. Jackson will lead a Tulsa King spinoff series, Frisco King.
“Taylor Sheridan continues to build worlds that attract some of the most iconic talent working today, and Frisco King is no exception,” said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals at Paramount+. “Having Samuel L. Jackson step into this universe is a testament to the scale and ambition of the storytelling Taylor is crafting. “
