A Thousand Blows Season 2 Confirmed Before Premiere

Steven Knight's new Disney+ series 'A Thousand Blows' is set to premiere on February 21, bringing to life the story of Hezekiah Moscow, a Jamaican immigrant in Victorian London, who transitions from aspiring lion tamer to a pugilist. The series is inspired by real-life events and features Malachi Kirby as Hezekiah, Stephen Graham as boxer Sugar Goodson, and Erin Doherty as Mary Carr, leader of the notorious all-female gang, the Forty Elephants. This six-part drama will be available on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ elsewhere. The show has already been confirmed for a second season, with creators hinting at increased stakes and further narrative development. The intense preparation undertaken by the actors, particularly Graham, underscores the authenticity and commitment to the show's historical and dramatic elements. Fans of Steven Knight's work, such as 'Peaky Blinders', are anticipating another engaging period piece from the acclaimed creator.
