Deadline · 2 months ago

Starz has released the official trailer for its new British boxing drama Fightland, which is due to premiere on 31 July 2026. The release marks the studio's build-up to the launch of a series pitched as a story of redemption, betrayal and brutal ambition set both inside and outside the boxing ring.

The drama follows British-born heavyweight champion Duke Kilroy (Howard Charles), whose brother Calvin is killed in a vicious assault on the night Duke wins his world title. Duke's response lands him eight years in a US prison, and on his release he returns home seeking revenge against the criminal kingpin and former promoter he blames, Kingsley Marshall (Nicholas Pinnock). With Marshall having vanished, Duke works with a cartel to infiltrate and dismantle his empire, while entangled with Marshall's wife Joy (Deborah Ayorinde), the love of his life. The cast also includes Anita-Joy Uwajeh, Charles Babalola, Tahirah Sharif, Tyler Conti and Richard Pepple.
