New Orleans is set to become the next hotspot for Taylor Sheridan’s television universe, with a fresh spinoff from Tulsa King scheduled to roll cameras in the city in early 2026.

Jackson is expected to appear in several episodes of Tulsa King Season 3—currently filming in Oklahoma and Atlanta—before spinning off into his own series set in New Orleans.
