LONDON, U.K. (3 December) – Disney+ has today released the action-packed full-length trailer ahead of the highly anticipated return of the critically acclaimed Original series, “A Thousand Blows”. Starring BAFTA award-winning Malachi Kirby and Emmy-award winners Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty, the gripping Victorian drama returns exclusively to Disney+ and Hulu on 9 January 2026.
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 Moscow (Kirby) is a shadow of the man he once was whilst Sugar Goodson (Graham) is estranged from his family and drinking himself to death. Just as Wapping is about to sigh its last breath, Mary Carr (Doherty) bursts back into town with her loyal second, Alice Diamond (Darci Shaw). In Mary's absence, Eliza Moody (Hannah Walters) failed reign as Queen has seen her exiled whilst Indigo Jeremy (Robert Glenister) has taken back control of the Elephants. Mary is back to reassemble the Forty Elephants and reclaim her crown. She sobers Sugar up, she has a use for him yet, and forms a reluctant alliance with Hezekiah to take down Indigo Jeremy once and for all. As always, Mary has a plan. And this time it's riskier than ever.
The thrilling new trailer released today teases “the dawn of a new era”, as Mary Carr reunites with the all-female crime syndicate, the Forty Elephants, while Hezekiah seeks revenge, and Sugar Goodson steps back into the boxing ring.
Returning cast for season two also includes James Nelson-Joyce as Edward “Treacle” Goodson, Darci Shaw as Alice Diamond, Hannah Walters as Eliza Moody, Nadia Albina as Verity Ross, Morgan Hilaire as Esme Long, Jemma Carlton as Belle Downer, Caoilfhionn Dunne as Anne Glover, Jason Tobin as Mr. Lao, Susan Lynch as Jane Carr, Daniel Mays as William ‘Punch’ Lewis, Gary Lewis as Jack Mac, Aliyah Odoffin as Victoria Davies, and Robert Glenister as Indigo Jeremy. Joining the ensemble cast for season two are Ned Dennehy as Bull Jeremy and Catherine McCormack as Sophie Lyons.
