Kevin Hart's Muhammad Ali Fight Heist Series FIGHT NIGHT: THE MILLION DOLLAR HEIST Lands at Peacock
Kevin Hart’s new series project, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, has been ordered at Peacock. This is a heist series that focuses on an iconic Muhammad Ali boxing match. This sounds like it’ll make for an interesting and entertaining show!
The story is set in Atlanta, “following the heavyweight and criminal underground heist that introduced the world to the city that’s dubbed the Black Mecca. It’s also focused on the cop and the hustler at the center of the story. Fight Night promises to unfurl the infamous saga of an armed robbery during Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight and how it changed a city’s destiny.”
The series is created and written by Shaye Ogbonna (Penguin, The Chi, God’s Country). Ogbonna and Jason Horwitch (Echo 3, The Calling) will serve as showrunners and executive producers on the project.
