LOS ANGELES — From Steven Knight, the creator of “Peaky Blinders,” comes “A Thousand Blows,” a new Hulu Original series premiering February 21.
The latest trailer introduces Hezekiah Moscow (played by Malachi Kirby) and Alec Munroe (played by Francis Lovehall), close friends fleeing from Jamaica. Hezekiah is thrown into the dangerous underground boxing world of 1880s Victorian London, known as “the lion’s den,” where survival depends on your fighting skills.
Hezekiah’s success catches the attention of Mary Carr (portrayed by Erin Doherty), the leader of the Forty Elephants gang, the most prominent group of female thieves in London, and Sugar Goodson (played by Stephen Graham), the dominating figure in East End boxing, set on defeating Hezekiah.
Check out this new inside look at “A Thousand Blows,” from the creator of “Peaky Blinders.” The complete first season premieres February 21 on Hulu.
In a recent behind-the-scenes feature of “A Thousand Blows,” the actors and production team analyze the characters and their relationships within the brutal boxing environment.
There’s also “love, laughter. All of those things we need as human beings,” Graham explains.
