DESCRIPTION:
(from Disney+'s press release, August 2022) Disney+ today announced "A Thousand Blows" (w/t), an epic new 12-part series set in the perilous world of illegal boxing in 1880s Victorian London. It's brought to life by acclaimed screenwriter Steven Knight ("Peaky Blinders", "Spencer" "Taboo"), starring and executive produced by British screen titan Stephen Graham ("Help", "Time", "The Irishman"). The series is being produced by The Story Collective in a co-production with Matriarch Productions and Water & Power Productions. The UK Original series will premiere on Disney+ globally, Star+ in Latin America and Hulu in the US. The thrilling series follows Hezekiah and Alec, two best friends from Jamaica who find themselves thrust into the vibrant and violent melting pot of post-industrial revolution London's East End. Drawn into the criminal underbelly of the thriving boxing scene, Hezekiah meets Mary Carr, leader of The Forty Elephants - the notorious all-female London gang - as they battle for survival on the streets. As Hezekiah sharpens his new skills, he comes up against Sugar Goodson, a seasoned and dangerous boxer played by Stephen Graham, and the two are soon locked into an intense rivalry that spills out way beyond the ring.
