A thousand strokes It looks like it will be an even more stunning new show when it arrives next year following the release of new artwork on Hulu in the US and on Disney Plus internationally.

In addition to unveiling the new images (see above and below) showing BAFTA award-winning actor Malachi Kirby in the role of boxer Hezekiah Moscow aka “Ching Hook,” Disney also confirmed that the show will premiere on February 21, 2025 , which means it comes out two days after the new Pixar series Win or lose debuts.

With such an extensive February lineup, it’s probably safe to assume that our top Disney Plus shows and top Hulu show guides are in need of an overhaul.

A thousand strokes was made by Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders. So you can count on it to fill the void in your life in the form of a British period drama when it comes out, because (yes, you guessed it) it’s another period piece revolving around the world of boxing this time in Victorian London.

Although the series is fictionalized, it is loosely based on the real lives of a group of East Londoners in the 1880s who find themselves caught up in the criminal underworld of a bare-knuckle boxing scene. A setting like this requires a determined cast to pull it off, and Kirby looks ready for battle in the new images.

According to Disney’s storyline for the series, Hezekiah Moscow will find wealth and fame in the boxing ring, but his new attention also attracts notorious crime leader Mary Carr (Erin Doherty) and self-proclaimed leader of East London boxing Sugar Goodson (Stephen Graham). ) who wants to take advantage of him.

With such a talented cast on board, I can’t wait to stream A thousand strokes when it launches on Disney Plus in the UK on February 16, 2025.
