Bolt cutters, a locked fence and no apology. "What I do may be considered outside the law," Samuel L. Jackson says in the opening seconds of the Frisco King teaser, after someone beside him remarks that it all feels pretty criminal. His one-word reply comes first: "And?"
Jackson plays Lee Washington, who arrives in Frisco, Texas, and finds what the description calls a hustler's playground beneath the polished surface of the suburbs. The teaser leans into that contrast. Aerial shots of the town's water tower and neat neighborhoods give way to stacks of cash, a violent scene inside a house and Jackson leaning out of a car to offer money to a young man with gangster ambitions. The on-screen pitch fits on two cards: "SMALL TOWN," then "BIG HUSTLE."
The link to Tulsa King is plain. Sylvester Stallone, who plays Dwight Manfredi in that series, steps out of a black SUV with Jackson and tells him, "See Frisco, you can take it." Taylor Sheridan is billed as executive producer. The spin-off was first announced as NOLA King, set in New Orleans, and the move to Texas is one of the things viewers discuss most, along with Frisco's reputation as a quiet, well-kept suburb.
Short promotional clips on this channel usually open with fewer than 7,000 views in a day. This one passed 680,000 in its first 13 hours, and its comment section filled far faster than usual. One popular comment imagines an entire run of veteran stars ruling unlikely cities, each with a King title of their own.
The series begins streaming December 18.

Okay, fine, I'll start watching Tulsa King. Is this going to lead to a series of older actors being crime lords in obscure cities?
Is Liam Neeson going to be the Bakersfield King?
Dolph Lundgren the Huntsville King?
