STARZ is stepping into the ring this summer with Fightland, an explosive new crime drama that blends the intensity of championship boxing with the ruthless power struggles of London's criminal underworld. The network has officially released the first teaser trailer and key art for the highly anticipated series, giving viewers a glimpse at a gritty world where loyalty is fleeting, revenge is everything, and every fight comes with deadly consequences.
Executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Fightland marks the entertainment mogul's first internationally produced series through G-Unit Film & Television. The drama is set to premiere on Friday, July 31, with new episodes dropping weekly on Fridays across the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.
Per the official release, 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 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.
The teaser combines action, family betrayal, organized crime, and emotional heartbreak, with themes of family, redemption, ambition, and betrayal.
Prepare for a knockout summer series that packs just as many punches outside the ring as it does inside it.
Fightland premieres July 31 exclusively on STARZ.
