The first season will debut on Friday, July 31 at midnight on the Starz app and across all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms. Episodes will then make their linear debut the same day during primetime.
On the night Duke Kilroy (Charles) becomes world heavyweight champion, a vicious assault leaves his brother, Calvin, dead, causing Duke to snap and results in him spending eight years in a U.S. prison. Upon his release, and after having made a sinister discovery, Duke returns home seeking vengeance against the man he believes set him up - the criminal kingpin and former promoter, Kingsley Marshall (Pinnock). But Kingsley has vanished, leaving his children and wife, Joy, who happens to be the love of Duke's life, to pick up the pieces.
Working with a cartel desperate to control London's drug market, Duke begins a high-risk game of infiltrating Kingsley's empire to destroy it from within and smoke out his enemy. But amidst a volatile criminal landscape, and competing influences threatening to pull him off course, Duke will need to channel everything that made him a champion fighter into his bloody pursuit to win the ultimate victory - revenge for his brother.
In addition to Charles and Pinnock, the drama stars Deborah Ayorinde, Anita-Joy Uwajeh, Charles Babalola, Tahirah Sharif, Tyler Conti, and Richard Pepple.
Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan and Marlon Smith created the drama, with Damione Macedon and Raphael Jackson Jr. serving as co-showrunners on the first season. All four executive produce with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Francis Hopkinson, Kate Leadbetter, and director Otto Bathurst. G-Unit Film & Television and Expanded Media produce in association with Starz.
