Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist S1

Based on the acclaimed true-crime podcast, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist stars Emmy nominee Kevin Hart as Chicken Man, a hustler who hosts a glamorous afterparty to celebrate Muhammad Ali’s 1970 comeback fight, with a guest list of the country’s wealthiest. When the night ends with the most brazen criminal underworld heist in Atlanta’s history, Chicken Man finds himself a prime suspect in the eyes of his old adversary, Detective JD Hudson (Oscar nominee Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force. 

The Peacock Original’s stellar cast also includes Oscar nominees Samuel L Jackson, Taraji P Henson and Terrence Howard. 

Fight Night has a 96% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, at #21 on their list of the best TV of 2024 so far. As the critics’ consensus there says, “Skillfully weaving an inflection point in Black culture into a rollicking heist story, Fight Night is punchy entertainment with a never-better Kevin Hart broadening his dramatic range.”
