Sky Drop 50 Cents Thriller Fightland UK Trailer
One boxer’s fight for revenge turns out to be the biggest battle of his life. Sky have dropped the official Trailer for Fightland, the gritty new drama thriller from Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cents.
Fightland promises to be a series about redemption, betrayal and brutal ambition. Howard Charles and Nicholas Pinnock star as a British born boxing champ seeks vengeance for his brother’s death. What he finds is something truly sinister.
The series also stars Anita-Joy Uwajeh as Cebella “Cece” Marshall, Charles Babalola as Ezekiel “Zeek” Marshall, Tahirah Sharif as Kim Harper, Tyler Conti as Justin “Jay” Hall and Richard Pepple as Gary “Gazzer” Kilroy.
Synopsis | On the night that British-born boxer Duke Kilroy (Howard Charles) 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 (Nicholas Pinnock). But Kingsley has vanished, leaving his children and wife, Joy (Deborah Ayorinde), 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.
Fightland will be shown on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK and Ireland in August. If you live in the U.S, Starz will shocase it on 31st July.
