A thousand blows It looks like it will be even more of a great new show when it arrives on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus internationally next year, following the release of new artwork.
In addition to unveiling the new footage (see above and below), which features BAFTA award-winning actor Malachi Kirby as boxer Hezekiah Moscow, aka ‘Ching Hook’, Disney also confirmed that the show will premiere on February 21, 2025 , meaning it arrives two days after the new Pixar series Win or lose debuts.
With such a stacked February lineup, it’s probably safe to assume that our best Disney Plus shows and best Hulu show guides are in need of an overhaul.
A thousand blows was created by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, and it is another period piece, centered around the world of boxing in Victorian London.
Although the show is fictionalized, it is loosely based on the real lives of a group of East Londoners in the 1880s who find themselves in the criminal underbelly of a bare-knuckle boxing scene. Such a setting requires a gritty cast that can pull it off, and Kirby looks battle-ready in the new footage.
According to Disney’s storyline for the show, Hezekiah Moscow will find fortune and fame in the boxing ring, but his newfound attention also attracts infamous crime boss Mary Carr (Erin Doherty) and self-proclaimed leader of the East London boxing ring Sugar Goodson (Stephen). Graham), who wants to exploit him.
With such a talented cast on board, I can’t wait to stream A thousand blows when it arrives on Disney Plus in the UK on February 16, 2025.
