Season 2 of Hulu’s popular crime drama, A Thousand Blows, is now streaming, and early reviews are coming in. The show, created by Steven Knight, the mind behind Peaky Blinders, is a historical series about a powerful all-female gang called the Forty Elephants. Their criminal world collides with the underground boxing scene in 1880s London.
Before the first season even premiered last year, the creator confirmed they had already filmed the second season, signaling the streaming service was very confident the show would be popular. That confidence proved correct—A Thousand Blows quickly became a hit, and fans didn’t have to wait long for season two to become available on Hulu.
I’m so excited – season 2 of A Thousand Blows is finally here on Hulu and Disney+! It’s only been eleven months since the first season, which is a really quick turnaround. And the early reviews are fantastic! Right now, it’s sitting at a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is even a little better than the 88% the first season got. I can’t wait to dive in!
| A Thousand Blows Seasons | Rotten Tomatoes’ Critics Score | Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score |
|---|---|---|
| Season 1 (2025) | 88% | 78% |
| Season 2 (2026) | 92% | N/A |
Even though season 2 of A Thousand Blows gets off to a slow start and has some pacing problems, critics generally agree it’s still a great show. While some felt the tension wasn’t as strong as in the first season, the excellent acting—especially from Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham—more than made up for it. It’s important to remember that the overall score could change, as it’s currently based on just 12 reviews.

Despite strong reviews for its second season, the future of A Thousand Blows is uncertain. Neither the show’s creator nor Hulu have announced whether a third season will be made, and any decision will likely depend on how well season 2 performs on the streaming platform.
The possibility of a third season of A Thousand Blows is less certain. While the show’s creator, Steven Knight, has said he’d like to continue it, he’s currently committed to several other large-scale projects. These include filming the third season of SAS: Rogue Heroes, developing the Peaky Blinders follow-up series, and writing the script for the next James Bond film, which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve.
Now that the show’s future is uncertain, reviews suggest A Thousand Blows does offer some satisfying answers for anyone wondering what happened with Mary Carr and Sugar’s stories.
