*Warning: This article contains full spoilers for A Thousand Blows season 1.*

If you’re reading this, it seems likely that you’ve finished A Thousand Blows and are eagerly awaiting more episodes. Fortunately, there’s some positive news coming up!

Apart from being anticipated, a second installment of A Thousand Blows has already been produced simultaneously with the first season. Consequently, its release might come earlier than expected.

The Steven Knight drama undeniably delivers a powerful impact, immersing audiences into the core of Victorian London’s East End during the 1880s. The tales woven within this series encompass immigration, boxing, theft, and struggle, all converging in an intricate web that promises many plot threads to be resolved in the upcoming season.

In the final act, it wasn’t just unexpected twists that were revealed, but also emphasized a striking shift in their relationship dynamics between Hezekiah (Malachi Kirby) and Mary (Erin Doherty). It seemed as if they were on the verge of embarking on an adventure towards the horizon together.

Indeed, it didn’t unfold as planned, which suggests their situation might be starting off rather negatively.

But when will season 2 of A Thousand Blows be released? Read on for everything we know so far.

A Thousand Blows season 2 release date speculation

As of now, Disney Plus has not revealed when A Thousand Blows season 2 will be released.

It’s been confirmed that the first and second seasons were shot consecutively, which implies we might not have a significant gap between the airing of each season.

On the contrary, there’s a chance that the series might follow a common pattern with other shows, releasing new seasons approximately once a year.

Watch this space.

A Thousand Blows season 2 cast speculation

Regarding the cast for season 2, it is assured that the primary characters will reappear since they were featured in a trailer at the conclusion of the season 1 finale.

Without Sugar Goodson, Hezekiah Moscow, and Mary Carr, the series just wouldn’t feel right. So, it’s safe to say that Stephen Graham, Malachi Kirby, and Erin Doherty will reprise their main characters.

In terms of characters not coming back for season 2, it’s unlikely that you’ll see more of Alec Munroe (played by Francis Lovehall) given his untimely death in the second-to-last episode of season 1. There might be a chance of seeing him in some flashback scenes though.

Just as with the case of Jason Tobin’s character Mr Lao, who was freed from prison by Mary and Alice (played by Darci Shaw), and instructed to move to Liverpool for a fresh start. Might there be a chance for him to encounter Hezekiah once more? It could happen!

It came to light that even after receiving a severe thrashing from Sugar, Treacle was miraculously unharmed and in good health, yet showed no desire to reconcile with his sibling. It’s likely that their sibling rivalry won’t subside anytime soon, given Sugar’s intention to transfer the ownership of the pub to Treacle.

Additionally, it seems likely that some fresh faces will join the cast since there might be a greater emphasis on the characters “Elephant Boys” and “Indigo Jeremy,” played by Robert Glenister. So, we can only anticipate and find out eventually.

The A Thousand Blows cast we’d expect to see back for season 2 are as follows.

  • Malachi Kirby as Hezekiah Moscow
  • Stephen Graham as Sugar Goodson
  • Erin Doherty as Mary Carr
  • James Nelson-Joyce as Edward ‘Treacle’ Goodson
  • Hannah Walters as Eliza Moody
  • Darci Shaw as Alice Diamond
  • Morgan Hilaire as Esme Long
  • Jemma Carlton as Belle Downer
  • Caoilfhionn Dunne as Anne Glover
  • Nadia Albina as Verity Ross
  • Daniel Mays as William ‘Punch’ Lewis
  • Tom Davis as Charlie Mitchell
  • Gary Lewis as Jack Mac
  • Robert Glenister as Indigo Jeremy
  • Susan Lynch as Jane Carr
  • Ella Lily Hyland as Marianne Goodson

What will A Thousand Blows season 2 be about?

Regarding the plot of the upcoming second season, it appears that it will continue where the exciting ending of season 1 left off. Judging by the trailer, there may be a brief gap in time, though the exact duration remains unknown for now; more information is expected later.

It seems that when Hezekiah discovered Mary knew the identity of Alec’s killer, their plans to travel to America together were abruptly halted. Now, it appears they are embarking on distinct paths in season 2.

It appears that, based on the quick preview, Mary might have temporarily left and then returned, leaving Alice as her apparent companion once more. Additionally, it seems that the Forty Elephants are once again under Jane’s guidance; however, there could be potential issues arising with the Elephant Boys in the near future.

In one particular sequence, it appears that Mary is resorting to her familiar tactics by threatening a ballroom crowd with a weapon, yet the question of whether she’s currently allied with Indigo or opposing him still hangs in the balance.

In terms of the intricate relationships between the Forty Elephants and Mary in the upcoming season 2, Morgan Hilaire characterized it as “complex.

Hannah Walters expressed: “I believe it’s intricate, that’s the right term. It remains intricate, with a complex intertwining of emotions, thoughts, and feelings, narratives. It doesn’t become simpler, to put it frankly.

It seems that Hezekiah is returning to the arena, going head-to-head with fresh adversaries in the exclusive realm of boxing with gloves. However, there’s also a hint that Hezekiah might be on a quest for vengeance and trying to uncover who was responsible for Alec’s death.

It appears that Sugar might be regaining his peak condition, given his recent dedication to exercise and self-care. Moreover, it seems like there’s some improvement in his connection with Treacle.

There might be potential issues arising since Treacle’s eldest son received a cautionary statement from Punch (Daniel Mays), implying he needs to be careful. It raises the question of whether he could be collaborating with Sugar, despite Treacle having instructed Sugar to keep away from him.

Is there a trailer for A Thousand Blows season 2?

Not yet!

Since the first season has recently been launched, it’s reasonable to expect that sneak peeks and initial images will be unveiled over time.
