Peacock has announced that Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, its limited series set in Atlanta on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback, will begin streaming Thursday, Sept. 5.
A Fight Night is brewing this fall.
Created by Shaye Ogbonna and based on the iHeart true-crime podcast, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist follows the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Ali’s comeback fight changed not only one man’s life but ultimately transformed Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.”
A teaser trailer and a flurry of first-look photos were released along with the premiere date.
