![[Série] A Thousand Blows : nouveau drame historique de Steven Knight avec Malachi Kirby sur Disney+](https://cdn.sortiraparis.com/images/80/69688/1118399-serie-a-thousand-blows-nouveau-drame-historique-de-steven-knight-avec-malachi-kirby-sur-disney.jpg)
Steven Knight, acclaimed creator of series such as Peaky Blinders and Taboo, returns with A Thousand Blows, a historical drama that promises to be intense and captivating. Set in Victorian London, the series plunges viewers into the heart of the notorious East End, where two young immigrants, Hezekiah and Alec, are confronted with the brutality and violence of the streets. Malachi Kirby(Roots, Small Axe) stars as Hezekiah, while Stephen Graham, renowned for his roles in This is England and Boardwalk Empire, plays a fearsome and dangerous boxer. A Thousand Blows promises a blend of action, historical intrigue and social drama, offering a fresh perspective on an often overlooked era.
Hezekiah and Alec, two friends fresh from Jamaica, struggle to survive in the violent melting pot of Victorian London's East End. They come up against Sugar Goodson, a dangerous veteran boxer.
A Thousand Blows should appeal to fans of historical dramas and stories centered on survival in a hostile urban environment. Those who have been captivated by series such as Peaky Blinders or Gangs of London will find here a new series with similar stakes, but set in a different period, that of Victorian London. The series' originality lies in its immersion in the world of pugilism (bare-knuckle boxing) and the way it tackles issues of immigration, racism and social struggle in a rarely explored historical context. Stephen Graham 's performance as Sugar Goodson, a formidable antagonist, should bring remarkable depth and intensity to the plot.
With A Thousand Blows, Steven Knight is set to plunge us once again into a world of violence and survival, but this time in the heart of Victorian London. Featuring a talented cast including Malachi Kirby and Stephen Graham, the series promises to be as gripping as it is poignant, with street battles as much physical as symbolic. This new project should attract the attention of fans of historical series and social dramas, and will soon be available on Disney+.
