Starz has debuted the action-filled trailer for the upcoming new series Fightland!
First announced just over a year ago, the upcoming Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson-produced series is set to debut later this month, and the trailer teases the “high-stakes world of British boxing.”
What is Fightland about?
On the night that British-born boxer Duke Kilroy becomes world heavyweight champion, a vicious assault leaves his brother, Calvin, dead. Duke is devastated and his reaction in the aftermath costs him eight years in a U.S. prison. Upon his release, and after having made a sinister discovery, Duke returns home seeking vengeance against the man he believes set him up — the criminal kingpin and his former promoter Kingsley Marshall. But Kingsley has vanished, leaving his children and wife, Joy, who happens to be the love of Duke’s life, to pick up the pieces.
Working with a cartel desperate to control London’s drug market, Duke begins a high-risk game of infiltrating Kingsley’s empire to destroy it from within and smoke out his enemy. But amidst a volatile criminal landscape, and competing influences threatening to pull him off course, Duke will need to channel everything that made him a champion fighter into his bloody pursuit to win the ultimate victory – revenge for his brother.
Who stars in Fightland?
Howard Charles leads the cast as Duke Kilroy. He is joined by Nicholas Pinnock as Kingsley Marshall and Deborah Ayorinde as Joy, as well as Anita-Joy Uwajeh, Charles Babalola, Tahirah Sharif, Tyler Conti, and Richard Pepple as Gary “Gazzer” Kilroy.
