Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist TRAILER: Kevin Hart, Samuel L Jackson And More Stars Come Together For Peacock’s Crime Drama

Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist Trailer

The show draws its storyline from the iHeart true-crime podcast it’s named after. This podcast recounts the notorious crime that transpired on the very night of Muhammad Ali’s legendary comeback, making Atlanta a symbolically significant place known as Black Mecca.

At his extravagant afterparty for a high-stakes fight, Chicken Man (Kevin Hart) unwittingly invites the criminal underworld’s elite, leading to the most daring heist Atlanta has ever seen.

Chicken Man is under suspicion for orchestrating the grand scheme, but he’s determined and unyielding in his effort to establish his innocence. He needs to convince his longtime foe, J.D. Hudson, portrayed by Don Cheadle, of his blamelessness.

I’ve witnessed the devastation as Atlanta was reduced to ashes. But the resilient spirit of the Black community refused to be defeated. They turned those ashes into something precious, transforming Atlanta into gold once more.

The cast of Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist 

As a lifestyle expert, I’d be thrilled to share with you that this production boasts an extraordinary ensemble cast. I have the pleasure of being part of this exciting project, and I can assure you that Hart brings Chicken Man to life in an unforgettable way. Notably, Taraji P. Henson shines as Vivan Thomas, while Samuel L. Jackson delivers a powerful performance as Frank Moten. Terrence Howard masterfully portrays Cadillac Richie, and Don Cheadle’s depiction of J.D. Hudson is truly captivating. Additionally, Chloe Bailey graces our screens as Lena Mosley, Lori Harvey adds depth to her role as Lola Falana, and Sinqua Walls impresses as McKinley Rogers. These talented individuals bring their unique charisma and skill to the table, making this a must-see production.

Shaye Ogbonna, who is both a writer and producer, works closely with Jason Horwitch as the showrunners of this crime thriller. In addition, they executive produce the series alongside Hart, Mike Stein from Hart’s production company Hartbeat, and several other individuals.

In addition to the production company Hartbeat, which is led by an actor from Jumanji, Studio 43 and Universal Television are also involved in producing the show. The debut of Fight Night: The Million Dollar is scheduled for September 5 on Peacock, Universal’s streaming platform.
