The Hulu blockbuster boxing series A Thousand Blows Season 2 from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is all set to premiere on January 9. We're less than two months away from the Hulu release, so promotional marketing for the show has officially begun in full force, starting off strong with a gritty and formidable teaser trailer starring Malachi Kirby, Erin Doherty, and Stephen Graham.
Taking us back to the rough and real East London in the 1880s, A Thousand Blows has taken the violence up several notches in the new season.

Brand-new teaser revealed for A Thousand Blows Season 2 starring Adolescence star Stephen Graham
The East End of London in the 1880s was brutal, and A Thousand Blows Season 2 will take us right in the midst of it with real-life stories of a group of survivors. As this group of characters continues to battle with their every breath for survival, the teaser trailer finds them deciding to take their fate into their own hands.
The teaser trailer finds us one year after we last saw Hezekiah and Sugar Goodson, but both of them are way worse off since then. Hezekiah is "a shadow of the man he once was," whereas Sugar Goodson is estranged from his family, and drinking is his chosen poison. Everything appears to be in shambles in A Thousand Blows Season 2. Graham's Sugar appears, saying:
"You're probably wondering why I've gathered you all here. I understand that some of you wish me dead. I don't blame ya. We're in danger and we can't afford to doubt each other."
However, Hezekiah is not so easily convinced:
"You fight your way and I'll fight mine."
It doesn't look like the two can find their way back to the gang they once were, and well, that's exactly when Erin Doherty's Mary Carr comes blazing in. She's ready to rebuild from the ashes of what's left, and nothing can stop her. She's followed by her ally Alice Diamond and is more than ready to make her name and reclaim her crown.

The stakes, however, this time around, are higher than ever on A Thousand Blows Season 2:
"Inspired by the true-life stories of a group of characters battling for survival in the brutal East End of London in the 1880s. One year later, Hezekiah’s a shadow of the man he once was whilst Sugar Goodson is estranged from his family and drinking himself to death. Just as Wapping is about to sigh its last breath, Mary Carr bursts back into town with her loyal second, Alice Diamond, to reassemble her gang and reclaim her crown. As always, Mary has a plan; one which will involve all those she holds dearest. And this time it’s riskier than ever."
Stephen Graham, Malachi Kirby, and Erin Doherty will be joined by James Nelson-Joyce, Hannah Walters, Darci Shaw, Morgan Hilaire, and more. Catherine McCormack and Ned Dennehy are set to join the returning cast on A Thousand Blows Season 2.
Creator and writer of Peaky Blinders and A Thousand Blows, Steven Knight is joined by Matriarch Productions' Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters, The Story Collective's Damian Keogh and Kate Lewis, Water & Power Productions' Tom Miller and Sam Myer, and Disney+ EMEA's Jonny Richards as executive producers.
