Starz launches Fightland series

Overview

Starz launched the British-set boxing drama ‘Fightland’ on July 31, 2026, following a world premiere at New York’s Jazz at Lincoln Center on July 21. Executive-produced by Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson via G-Unit Film & Television, the series marks a strategic milestone as Starz’s first wholly-owned series.

The eight-episode drama follows Maduka ‘Duke’ Kilroy (Howard Charles), a disgraced heavyweight champion who returns to London after an eight-year U.S. prison term to seek revenge against former promoter and crime kingpin Kingsley Marshall (Nicholas Pinnock). The narrative explores themes of redemption, betrayal, and family power struggles, specifically highlighting internal conflicts between Marshall’s daughters, CeCe and Joy, regarding the management of the family’s criminal operations.

In the United States, the show is available via the Starz app, DIRECTV, Philo, and Fubo. International distribution includes Sky Atlantic in the United Kingdom (starting August 27) and Crave in Canada. While some critics praise the gritty blend of boxing and London underworld intrigue, others have labeled the series derivative of existing crime dramas.
