A new crime drama is coming, and Sylvester Stallone He just sparked the hype with just one picture. Sylvester Stallone shared a behind-the-scenes photo Samuel L. Jackson and let them know that the Frisco King spin-off is officially filming. The title “From One King to Another” wasn’t just about the script. It felt like a nod to the passing of the torch, and the fans immediately started buzzing. The photo shows Stallone and Jackson, scripts in hand, relaxed, but certainly at home on set. These two legends next to each other? You don’t see that every day. It marks a real change for this franchise, and it’s safe to say that something big is brewing.
Picture of Sylvester Stallone with Samuel L. Jackson: What happened?
With a post, Sylvester Stallone confirmed what insiders were whispering: ‘Frisco King,’ the long-awaited ‘Tulsa King’ spin-off, is rolling cameras. It’s more than a teaser; the shot places Stallone, the “original king,” next to Jackson, who is now leading this new chapter. Stallone’s “From one king to another” does not announce Jackson; it suggests a shared universe where heritage, crime and power converge.And time is not random. Filming has just begun in Texas, mainly around Fort Worth.
‘Frisco King’: What is it?
The ‘Frisco King’ show spins off ‘Tulsa King’, which is Stallone’s first TV series. Taylor Sheridan (‘Yellowstone’, remember?) dreamed up this universe, and it’s not working. Originally, the project had a different title, but they changed the setting and the tone, sharpening things up and planting it in Texas itself.According to The Hawk, Samuel L. Jackson played Russell Lee Washington Jr. plays a hardened assassin with deep criminal ties. We met his character in ‘Tulsa King Season 3’, so he won’t come out of nowhere. Washington is a former mob enforcer in New York; After turning down an important job, he heads to Texas to “start over.” Of course, this being a TV show, that new life involves building a new criminal empire from scratch.It has all the classic mob beats, but this series delves into things like redemption, loyalty, and second chances. One thinks it’s more about a man struggling with his past than a mob shootout.So how does he connect with the ‘Tulsa King’?First, you need to know where it started: ‘Tulsa King’ follows Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone), who gets out of prison after 25 years, exiles himself to Oklahoma and starts a new operation. The show hit it big for Paramount+, mixing dark humor and gritty storytelling, and Stallone nailed it.Notably, ‘Frisco King’ does not replace ‘Tulsa King’; it opens up that world. The two shows are connected through old prison ties and shared friends (or enemies), especially between Manfredi and Jackson’s character. Sheridan is building the kind of television universe where each fresh story grows naturally from the last.As far as acting is concerned, both the stars come with heavy stories. Stallone, with Rocky and Rambo behind him, has found his TV niche. Jackson is also no stranger to big roles, but ‘Frisco King’ is his first time leading a TV drama. That’s a milestone.Behind the scenes, Taylor Sheridan doesn’t email as she writes all eight episodes for Season 1 herself. The Texas setting also matters; it’s a stark contrast to your typical New York or Chicago mob story.‘Frisco King’ will air on Paramount+. However, the exact release date is not yet available.
