Following on from last week’s news that Samuel L. Jackson was set to star in the next big Taylor Sheridan drama, a Paramount+ spinoff of Tulsa King, the Mace Windu actor & Pierce Brosnan spoke to Collider.com on MobLand Season 2, NOLA King, and The Unholy Trinity.
NOLA King
The Taylor Sheridan TV empire just got even bigger — and it now includes Samuel L. Jackson. Last week, it was announced that Jackson would be part of Sheridan’s ever-expanding TV crimeverse with a Tulsa King spin-off currently in development at Paramount+. Speaking to Collider’s Taylor Gates alongside The Unholy Trinity co-star Pierce Brosnan — also a Paramount+ crime drama star with MobLand — Jackson confirmed his role in NOLA King, one of the latest additions to Sheridan’s ever-expanding roster of character-driven crime dramas. While details are still tightly under wraps — or in the case of this show, not even decided yet, such is the very early stage of development — Jackson’s enthusiasm was loud and clear.
“At least 15 of those shows are on my watchlist all the time, so I’m really happy to be in that universe. I was just talking to Pierce about that earlier. I watched Tulsa King, and I liked it even before that idea came up. I know very little about what’s going to happen. I don’t know the character’s name. I don’t know what our history is. I don’t know anything about it, but I do know that I’m very anxious to jump into it and find out what it’s going to be.”
Sheridan’s NOLA King is expected to be set in the gritty, corruption-laced underworld of New Orleans — a fresh backdrop for his familiar brand of tough-as-nails drama, although it remains to be seen if Sylvester Stallone will take a trip from Oklahoma down to the Big Easy. While Jackson kept quiet on the plot or his role, his signing marks a huge grab for the Sheridan-verse, which already includes Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, and Tulsa King.
MODLAND SEASON 2
If you’re still reeling from the explosive finale of MobLand Season 1, you’re not alone — Pierce Brosnan is right there with you. The actor, who plays the razor-sharp but increasingly cornered, angry Irish crime boss Conrad Harrigan, says he hasn’t been told what comes next. And that’s exactly how he likes it. Speaking with Collider’s Taylor Gates alongside Samuel L. Jackson — his co-star in the upcoming Western The Unholy Trinity — Brosnan was asked what he hopes to see if MobLand is renewed for a second season. He noted that he had no idea where the story would be going, only stating that he had his own ideas which he had yet to share with the show’s creative minds:
“I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen. I have some ideas in my head, but I have not expressed those to Guy Ritchie or to Jez Butterworth or Ronan Bennett, who are the writers. I have no idea. I don’t know. I mean, I didn’t know going in last time, so there’s a part of me that’s quite happy to let it all just unfold before me. Right now, I’m just feeding the chickens, I’m painting, I’m golfing, and that’s what I do — enjoying life.”
Jackson, for his part, chimed in with a laugh: “He’s never getting out of prison! Leave him alone!” Whether he escapes or not, Brosnan’s Conrad has left a major mark on MobLand. The Season 1 finale, “The Beast in Me,” delivered on the series’ promise of Shakespearean crime drama, setting the stage for seismic shifts across the Harrigan crime empire. Conrad and Maeve (Helen Mirren) may have been locked up, but it only gave the family time to regroup, expose the mole (Lisa Dwan’s O’Hara), and retaliate with precision.
Now that Kevin (Paddy Considine) and Harry (Tom Hardy) have assumed control — for now — the road ahead is more dangerous than ever. Maeve continues to manipulate, Eddie (Anson Boon) is spiraling into darkness, and Seraphina’s (Mandeep Dhillon) loyalty is under question. With Kat McAllister (Janet McTeer) still pulling strings in the shadows, the bloodshed seems far from over. Until Season 2 is officially greenlit, you can catch the entire first season — including that unforgettable finale — now streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S.
