"Tulsa King," an Emmy-nominated Paramount+ crime drama series starring Sylvester Stallone, is set to film in Gainesville this month.

A filming notification from King Street Productions said they would primarily be filming shots for season two of the series on April 15, but prep work is already underway for the filming.

Several roads in the area will be closed amid the filming and production work, which is focused on exterior sequences.

Specifically, the document noted the following closures:

The document confirmed the scenes will include camera equipment, actors and crew working in and around the area. A Gainesville Police Department official confirmed the closures to AccessWDUN Friday morning.

It's unclear which actors will be in Gainesville for the filming.

"Tulsa King follows NY mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, OK," the show's description reads on Paramount+. "Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet. The series also stars Andrea Savage (“I'm Sorry”), Martin Starr (“Silicon Valley”), Max Casella (“The Tender Bar”), Domenick Lombardozzi (“The Irishman”), Vincent Piazza (“Boardwalk Empire”), Jay Will (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), A.C. Peterson (“Superman & Lois”) with Garrett Hedlund (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday”)."

A February report from The Oklahoman said season one of the series was filmed in Oklahoma, but production for season two is based out of Eagle Rock Studios in Norcross.
