Stephen Graham’s A Thousand Blows releases explosive first-look trailer for season 2 – and new episodes arrive soon

Disney Plus just released a new trailer for the second season of A Thousand Blows, which will start streaming in January.

Featuring actors Malachi Kirby, Stephen Graham, and Erin Doherty, the series is based on real-life accounts of people struggling to survive in London’s tough East End during the 1880s.

Season 2 begins a year after the first season ended. Hezekiah Moscow (Kirby) is deeply changed and struggling, and boxing promoter Sugar Goodson (Graham) is isolated from his family and battling a serious drinking problem.

Everything changes when Mary Carr (Doherty) unexpectedly returns with a daring plan: to reunite the Forty Elephants and finally defeat crime boss Indigo Jeremy. She’ll need help from a hesitant Hezekiah and Sugar to pull it off.

The latest trailer reveals Mary reuniting the Forty Elephants, while Hezekiah plots his revenge and Sugar returns to boxing. Mary declares, “It’s the dawn of a new era,” at the trailer’s end.
