STARZ premieres 'Fightland' series at New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center

STARZ held the world premiere of its new original series "Fightland" on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at the Rose Theatre inside Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. The event was attended by network executives, cast members, and entertainment figures, including executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and STARZ President of Original Programming Kathryn Busby.

"Fightland" is STARZ’s first wholly‑owned series, a strategic milestone that the network says expands its creative footprint and builds premium franchise‑driven IP. The drama follows disgraced heavyweight champion Duke Kilroy, a former inmate seeking revenge against a London crime family, and blends British boxing with international crime themes. Busby highlighted the series’ importance for the brand, while Jackson praised its emotional and cultural edge. The screening concluded with a standing‑ovation from the audience.
