NOLA King Spinoff Seeks New Showrunner Amid Scheduling Conflicts

The upcoming Tulsa King spinoff, NOLA King, starring Samuel L. Jackson, is currently seeking a new showrunner after Dave Erickson stepped down due to scheduling conflicts. Erickson, who is also the showrunner for Tulsa King's third season and Mayor of Kingstown, was initially set to lead the new series, which has not yet been officially greenlit by Paramount+. Jackson will appear in multiple episodes of Tulsa King's third season to introduce his character, a prominent New Orleans gangster, before transitioning to NOLA King. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, with Taylor Sheridan serving as an executive producer. Production on Tulsa King's third season has wrapped, and the spinoff aims to begin production early next year, although no official release dates have been announced. The search for a new showrunner with substantial TV experience is underway to meet the expectations of this high-profile project.
