A Matriarch Productions / The Story Collective / Water & Power Productions for Disney+ / Hulu

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight presents an exhilarating new series set in the underbelly of 1880s Victorian London and featuring a towering performance by Stephen Graham.

Hezekiah and Alec, newly arrived in London from Jamaica, encounter Sugar Goodson, a notorious veteran boxer, and Mary Carr, leader of an all-female gang. Each fight for survival on the violent, crime-ridden streets of the city’s East End, in this riveting series inspired by real-life figures.

A Thousand Blows premiered at the BFI London Film Festival on 11 October 2024, and is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on 21 February 2025, and will contain six episodes.
