NORCROSS, Ga. — Film crews and Hollywood actors brought a touch of the entertainment industry to Gwinnett County this week as scenes for the television series Tulsa King were filmed in Norcross.
Photos taken during production show actor Sylvester Stallone seated on a park bench alongside actor Kevin Pollak while cameras and crew members prepared nearby equipment. Additional behind-the-scenes images captured production staff setting up lighting, sound equipment and camera rigs in a grassy park area.
The filming activity drew attention from local residents and visitors who noticed the presence of film crews and recognizable actors in the city.
Tulsa King, a crime drama series starring Stallone, premiered in 2022 on Paramount+. The show follows Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a New York mafia capo who is sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after being released from prison and begins building a new criminal empire.
Georgia has become a major hub for film and television production over the past decade, with many productions choosing locations across metro Atlanta and surrounding communities.
Cities such as Norcross often serve as filming locations because of their historic architecture, parks and accessible urban settings that can double as locations for television and film scenes.
Norcross, located in western Gwinnett County, has previously attracted film and television productions due to its small-town atmosphere and proximity to Atlanta’s major film studios.
Industry analysts say Georgia remains one of the top filming destinations in the United States, with hundreds of productions choosing the state each year.
