Dallas is among the North Texas cities where "Frisco King," the new Paramount+ crime drama starring Samuel L. Jackson, has been filming.
The series is a spinoff of "Tulsa King," created and written by Taylor Sheridan. Jackson stars as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a veteran hitman he introduced in the final episodes of "Tulsa King" season three opposite Sylvester Stallone. The eight-episode first season follows the character as he builds his own criminal operation. Originally titled "NOLA King" and set in New Orleans, the show was moved by Paramount+ to North Texas and renamed for Frisco.
Production began in Fort Worth in late March and has since filmed at locations including Dallas, Plano, Denton, Keller, Southlake and Frisco, with the schedule running through July. Legacy Casting, a Texas casting company, has posted repeated calls for local background actors across the region, including Dallas scenes, with listed pay generally ranging from about $110 to $350 a day depending on the role.
The cast also includes Kai Caster, Asa Germann, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann. Paramount+ has not announced a premiere date.
Dallas lies about 25 miles south of Frisco, the city that gives the series its name and setting.
