A THOUSAND BLOWS - STAR MALACHI KIRBY GIVES US THE LOWDOWN ON SEASON 2

From the creator of Peaky Blinders, comes Season Two of the acclaimed Hulu Series A THOUSAND BLOWS starring Malachi Kirby.

Inspired by the true-life stories of a group of characters battling for survival in the brutal East End of London in the 1880s, Jamaican immigrant, Hezekiah Moscow (Kirby), finds himself thrust into the criminal underbelly of East London’s thriving bare-knuckle boxing scene.

He attracts the attention of the infamous Queen of the Forty Elephants, Mary Carr (Erin Doherty), who sets about exploiting his pugilistic skills to further her criminal enterprise. Meanwhile menacing boxer and self-declared emperor of Wapping, Sugar Goodson (Stephen Graham), determines to destroy Hezekiah whose ambitions to fight in the West End threatens everything he has built.

Malachi Kirby is a British actor and writer. He gained prominence through his roles in the 2016 Roots remake and the Black Mirror episode "Men Against Fire". He won a BAFTA for his performance in Small Axe: Mangrove (2020). Kirby plays the lead role of Jamaican immigrant Hezekiah Moscow in the Victorian drama series A Thousand Blows.

Malachi Kirby is simply sensational in the role and credits a lot of hard work and having to give up cake! I spoke with Kirby about Season 2 and working on this series with some incredible co-stars.
