By Peacock has premiered the teaser trailer for its new Kevin Hart-led original series “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist”.
Hart is surrounded by a quartet of impressive actors in the show including Samuel L. Jackson, Taraji P. Henson, Don Cheadle, and Terrence Howard.
The series is based on the acclaimed iHeart true-crime podcast about the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight ultimately transformed Atlanta into a ‘Black Mecca’.
In the series, a hustler named Chicken Man (Kevin Hart) hosts an afterparty to celebrate the fight with a guest list of the country’s wealthiest. The night ends with the most brazen criminal underworld heist in Atlanta’s history.
Suspected of masterminding the crime, Chicken Man is hellbent on clearing his name but must convince his old adversary, J.D. Hudson (Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.
Shaye Ogbonna and Jason Horwitch are showrunners on the series which debuts on Peacock on September 5th.
