Samuel L. Jackson and Sylvester Stallone are bringing the heat, and things are about to get interesting. Paramount+ dropped the new trailer for Frisco King, an original drama from Oscar® nominee Taylor Sheridan that expands the Tulsa King universe with Jackson leading the way as a hitman ready to build an empire of his own.
Watch the official Frisco King trailer below!
Jackson stars as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a seasoned hitman working for New York mobsters who makes a life-changing decision when he refuses an assignment to kill Dwight Manfredi, played by Stallone. Instead of carrying out the hit, Lee heads to Frisco, Texas, determined to start fresh and turn his criminal expertise into a new business venture. But building an empire comes with its own risks, especially when old connections and new ambitions tango.
One of the biggest draws for fans is the return of Stallone as Dwight “The General” Manfredi. Their connection in Tulsa King sets the stage with Jackson and Stallone bringing two formidable personalities into the same expanding crime universe. As Lee begins assembling his operation, viewers will also meet a fresh lineup of characters, including Asa Germann as Teddy, Kai Caster as Keith, Lilah Pate as London, and Savanna Gann as Avery.
Sheridan will write all eight episodes of Frisco King Season 1 and executive produce alongside Jackson, Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, and Keith Cox. With three Oscar®-nominated talents behind the series and Jackson leading a new cast into Sheridan’s world of ambition, power, and crime, this latest addition to the franchise has plenty of potential to keep viewers hooked.
Frisco King premieres December 18 exclusively on Paramount+, with two episodes and new episodes arriving weekly.
