Good morning, DFW,
What a crazy primary night we had Tuesday! 😵💫 Many races ended in a runoff, requiring the two candidates with the highest percentage of votes to face off in another election on May 26. Once we have that full list of runoffs, I’ll share it with you.
In the meantime, in true COURIER fashion, we have another virtual event to better share with you the effects of policy on your lives—this time, on your health care.
On March 12, COURIER is hosting a live virtual event, MAHA & the Midterms, to help break down how recent political choices are shaping health care access, affordability, and what families should know moving forward.

Taylor Sheridan is setting his newest show in Frisco. (SevenMaps/Shutterstock)

By Sam Cohen
“Yellowstone.” “1883.” “Tulsa King.” “Landman.” These shows have been taking the American public by storm over the last few years, and creator/co-creator Taylor Sheridan is hoping to make even more magic on the set of his upcoming series, “Frisco King.” That’s right—Sheridan decided to turn Texas’s safest suburb into the backdrop for his “Tulsa King” spinoff starring Samuel L. Jackson, and for good reason. Frisco has seen a steady population increase in the last two decades and a host of developments alongside it. There’s the PGA Frisco headquarters and golf course, all those new schools, and of course, “The Star,” AKA the practice facility of the Dallas Cowboys. It seems like expanding into Hollywood is the logical next step.
Following Jackson’s character Russell Lee Washington Jr., who originally appeared on the series “Tulsa King” opposite Sylvester Stallone, “Frisco King” will air on Paramount+ and feature eight episodes in its first season, all penned by Sheridan himself.
