Frisco Insider - Hollywood in Frisco + More

Howdy, Frisco! Happy Friday.

I don’t know what’s crazier this week…

The fact that it’s 82° in February… or the fact that Samuel L. Jackson is officially coming to Frisco.

Hollywood. In Frisco.

Five years ago we were arguing about which Whataburger line moves faster. Now we’re apparently getting a mob drama set in our backyard. I genuinely never thought I’d type that sentence.

Let’s get into it.

🎬 Samuel L. Jackson Starring in ‘Frisco King’

Yes, this is real.

Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Tulsa King spin-off, originally set in New Orleans, is now officially moving to Frisco, Texas and has been renamed “Frisco King.”

The show will star Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr, and have 8 episodes initially.

If you’re unfamiliar, Tulsa King follows Sylvester Stallone’s character building a criminal empire in Oklahoma. Jackson’s character was introduced in Season 3, a hitman who was supposed to kill Stallone…and didn’t.

The original spin-off, NOLA King, was supposed to take place in New Orleans. But now?

We’ve got:

• New title

• New setting

• Texas backdrop

• Production starting in late March in Fort Worth

And I have questions.

Are we getting cowboy mobsters?
Is someone running organized crime out of a luxury apartment in The Star?
Is there going to be a dramatic scene in the H-E-B parking lot?

It’s unclear how much of the show will actually be set inside Frisco versus filmed around DFW, but one thing’s certain: this is a huge spotlight moment for the city.

From “Sports City USA” to “Crime Drama Capital” apparently.

Get rid of clogged gutters

Hey Frisco neighbors

Real talk, clogged gutters are one of those things that seem minor until they're not. We're talking foundation damage, roof leaks, and water getting where it really shouldn't.

Local homeowners who skip gutter maintenance end up spending thousands on repairs that a simple cleaning would've prevented.

Here in Frisco, we get enough storms and debris to clog gutters faster than anywhere else. Folks around here trust local crews who know what DFW weather actually does to a home.

And the best part? This service won't cost you an arm and leg We're talking seriously affordable, the kind of price that makes you wonder why you waited this long.

Certified, local, and ready to get up there so you don't have to.
Takes 4 seconds to get started. Your home will thank you.

• Two playgrounds (ages 2–5 and 5–12)
