Veteran Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone is set to enter the television arena as the veteran Hollywood star is in negotiations to feature in mob drama "Kansas City".

Set up at American streaming service Paramount Plus, the show comes from "Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan and "Boardwalk Empire" veteran Terence Winter, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Stallone will star as a New York mobster who's forced to relocate to present-day Kansas City, Missouri, and is faced with the task of re-establishing his Italian Mafia family in the Midwestern city.

Sheridan, Winter and Stallone will executive produce alongside David C Glasser, Ron Burkle and Bob Yari of 101 Studios. Winter will serve as showrunner.
