The Birth of NOLA King

While Yellowstone and its prequels, 1883 and 1923, have reigned as Sheridan’s flagship series, Tulsa King is the first of his non-Yellowstone shows to become a full-fledged franchise. NOLA King, set in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana, will follow the events after Tulsa King’s season 3, where Jackson’s character is expected to make a significant impact. It marks an exciting step for Sheridan, who is already known for his vast, interconnected universes that blend drama and action seamlessly.

Although Sheridan’s involvement in Tulsa King has been limited recently—he only created the pilot, and Dave Erickson has taken over as showrunner for season 3—his initial vision for the show seems to have ignited a new spark. With Tulsa King already having garnered a strong fanbase and critical acclaim, it was only a matter of time before the series expanded. The spinoff’s location in New Orleans offers endless potential for new stories and character arcs, and Jackson’s casting gives the show the high-profile boost it needs to succeed.

Tulsa King vs. Yellowstone: A New Rivalry?

Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe has been an unparalleled success, dominating both television ratings and pop culture. But Tulsa King and its spinoff could challenge that dominance. The show’s blend of organized crime, family drama, and its gritty, character-driven storytelling offers a unique contrast to the cowboy-dominated world of Yellowstone.

While Yellowstone has had its own set of spinoffs, such as 1883, 1923, and the upcoming The Madison, none of Sheridan’s other creations had taken the leap to franchise status—until now. The idea of a Tulsa King spinoff opens up the possibility for other shows in Sheridan’s growing portfolio to expand. Shows like Landman, Lioness, and Mayor of Kingstown may soon follow in Tulsa King’s footsteps, solidifying Sheridan’s role as a master storyteller capable of creating vast universes that extend far beyond a single show.

What to Expect from NOLA King

NOLA King will dive deep into the underworld of New Orleans, a city known for its rich culture, colorful history, and dark secrets. With Jackson playing a central role, the show promises high stakes, intense drama, and unpredictable twists. Jackson’s character will bring his own flavor to the series, infusing it with his trademark charisma and intensity. While the specifics of the plot remain under wraps, the connection between Tulsa and New Orleans hints at a larger network of criminals and power struggles at play.

As Tulsa King continues to grow in popularity, the NOLA King spinoff will likely appeal to fans who crave more of the action-packed, emotionally charged narratives that have come to define Sheridan’s work. This spinoff could very well launch a new chapter in the world of Sheridan’s shows, potentially rivaling Yellowstone in scope and size.

The Future of Sheridan’s Expanding Universe

This spinoff is only the beginning for Tulsa King and the Sheridan universe. As the show moves into new territory with NOLA King, fans are left wondering what other series might get the spinoff treatment in the future. With a wealth of characters, stories, and untapped locations, the possibilities are endless. Could we see Landman or Lioness explore similar expansions? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: Taylor Sheridan is not done building his empire.
