“Gen V” star Asa Germann has joined the cast of Paramount+’s “Frisco King” opposite series star Samuel L. Jackson. A spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s “Tulsa King” franchise, the new series starts production later this month in Ft. Worth, Texas.
Also added to the cast: Kai Caster (“Spider-Noir”), Lilah Pate (“The Runarounds”) and Savanna Gann (“English Teacher”). Additionally announced Thursday, Christina Alexandra Voros and Michael Friedman are set to direct multiple episodes, with Voros directing the pilot.
“Frisco King” stars Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., who was first introduced in the third season of “Tulsa King” last fall. Germann will play Teddy, described as “a sharp, savvy, entrepreneurial college dropout who gets Lee’s attention.”
Caster will play Keith, “a polite valet at the local Sandman Hotel”; Pate is London, “a local cheerleading goddess recruited by Lee, who’s not afraid to use her good looks to get what she wants,” and Gann will play Avery, “a fellow cheerleader and friend of London’s who’s also recruited to join Lee’s crew.”
Germann was featured in Variety‘s 2025 Young Hollywood Impact Report as part of the young cast of “Gen V,” a spinoff of “The Boys” on Amazon’s Prime Video. Germann’s other credits include Paramount’s “Scream 7,” “Gargoyle 2,” “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” a lead role in the indie feature “Callback.” He’s currently in production on the feature “New England Toys,” with Willa Fitzgerald, Ruby Cruz, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Paul Sparks.
Besides “Spider-Noir,” Caster’s upcoming credits include the horror feature film “Halloween Store,” executive produced by Kenan Thompson, and the thriller “Do Not Enter.” He previously appeared in Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” and Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.”
Pate has been seen in “Outer Banks,” “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” and will next be seen in Rebel Wilson’s comedy “Girl Group” alongside Wilson and Jennifer Coolidge.
Gann recurred in both seasons of “English Teacher.” She will next be seen in Jay Duplass’ dramedy feature “See You When I See You,” and had a supporting role in Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire” and “Part Two: The Scargiver.”
Paramount+ announced last week that Sheridan will now write all episodes of “Frisco King,” which was previously developed as “NOLA King.”
Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios produce “Frisco King,” which is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, “Tulsa King” star/EP Sylvester Stallone and Jackson. David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Keith Cox are also executive producers.
“We are honored to have Taylor Sheridan write the first season of ‘Frisco King’ and bring to life Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic character,” Paramount Television Studios prexy Matt Thunell said in a statement last month. “Having him pen all episodes of the season with his singular voice will be a treat for fans of ‘Tulsa King’ and audiences around the world.”
