Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Spin-offs often don't live up to the original. Tulsa King was good, but stretching it to a fourth season AND a new show? Feels like they're milking it. Hope I'm wrong!

Interesting to see Stallone's first major TV role become such a franchise. The mafia/crime drama genre is always popular. Hope the writing for Frisco King is sharp and not just relying on star power.

The banter in the video sounds so wholesome! "Am I king yet?" 😂 Jackson's humor is the best. This is the kind of positive, fun collaboration we need more of. Already has good vibes.
