[00:04] I had everything I wanted. >> And in one moment, Kingsley took everything from me. >> On the night Duke Kilroy becomes heavyweight champion of the world, a vicious attack leaves his brother dead
[00:17] and sends Duke to prison for 8 years. Now he's back in London hunting the man who destroyed his life. Here's what you need to know about Stars' new series, Fight [music] Land. Streaming July 31st only on Stars, presented by Fight Land.
[00:31] This brand new series comes courtesy of Curtis 50 Cent Jackson. Set against the highstakes world of British boxing, Fightland is a gripping story of redemption, betrayal, and brutal ambition in and out of the ring. With
[00:44] edgeofyour seat action and a gritty setting [music] populated by dangerous characters, this is a world of money and power never seen before. In Fight Land, we witness Duke's rise [music] and fall from fame while he dishes out what he
[00:57] deems as vengeance. But perhaps the conspiracy runs deeper than even he can anticipate. In addition to an original new story, Duke's quest for vengeance sees him return to London as a fallen champion, seeking to punish those who
[01:10] have wronged him. >> So, why you here, Duke? >> You want to fight again? Ning days are behind me. you and Zeke. >> We get a glimpse of the ring we've
[01:25] [music] never seen before in a city with legendary ties to boxing. But as we all with ties to the mob, high stakes gambling, and all the fun stuff that gambling, and all the fun stuff that goes with the two. See, people like you,
[01:38] they feel they're so high on their horse, horse, they can't fall off. So then they can't fall off. So then we have to knock you off.
[01:50] >> Howard Charles [music] gives a performance that makes him a breakout star as both heavyweight and former heavyweight champion Duke Kilroy. I don't even know why, man. Fans of Top Boy may be familiar with Charles
[02:02] already, but he's [music] a storied actor with plenty of dramatic experience that make his performance as Duke Kilroy a memorable and menacing one. A lone performance doesn't make a show, though. The entire cast of Fightland crafts such
[02:16] memorable performances, you too will fall down the criminal rabbit hole as you get to know the entire cast of characters surrounding Duke Kilroyy's quest for vengeance. Kingsley Marshall, Duke's father figure, is played by
[02:28] Nicholas Pinnock, a storyried performer with over 30 years of credit. He's also no stranger to working with 50 Cent thanks to his time on the network series for Life, which was also produced by Curtis Jackson. He's going to show the
[02:41] world that the greatest doesn't have to be American, [cheering] >> that the greatest can and will be from London. >> Co-heading the Marshall family under their father is Zeke and CC Marshall,
[02:55] played by Charles Babalola and Anita Joy Uaj respectively. Papalola is a dramatic veteran with experience in film and TV. And Uaja is a performer with experience in TV and theater. Whoever did this had to know the shipment was coming in and
[03:09] when and where to hit it. >> Okay. each one of them in the eye and see who blinks.
[03:22] Love is a battlefield and Duke needs to navigate safely. Otherwise, he runs the risk of collateral damage. Duke [music] has a complicated past with Joy as he attempts to dismantle Kingsley's criminal empire from the inside. I'm
[03:36] and I never stop. >> Boxing is a criminal enterprise. Always has been, always will be. Words directly from Kingsley. If Duke is going to navigate and take Kingsley's empire down, he'll need to tread carefully in
[03:50] this cutthroat world of British boxing. So whether you're a fan of revenge thrillers, emotional dramas, or romance in the vein of Something Like Power, Fightland has a little something for everyone. In addition to a stack cast of
[04:02] performers, Stars's new series Fightland also features equally strong talent behind the camera, including having the first couple episodes directed by Otto Blinders. >> We only get to choose
[04:16] how you leave the fight game. >> Whenever I start a new show, the first episodes are in this season and when can I watch them? >> Yeah, J. >> Got it. Okay, sure. Stars' new [music]
