A Thousand Blows Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
If you got sucked into the raw, gritty world of A Thousand Blows on Hulu or Disney+, you're probably itching to know what's next for Hezekiah, Mary, and the rough streets of Victorian London. Steven Knight, the guy who brought us Peaky Blinders , delivered a killer first season back in February 2025, and fans are already buzzing about Season 2. So, let's dive into the latest rumors about the release date, who's coming back, and what kind of drama we can expect in the next round. Release Date Rumors for A Thousand Blows Season 2
No exact date has dropped yet, but the tea leaves are pointing to a release sometime around late 2025 or early 2026. Since Season 1 landed all six episodes on February 21, 2025, and Season 2 is already shot, Hulu and Disney+ might aim for a similar vibe—maybe a winter drop to keep us cozy with some brutal boxing action. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on Hulu's socials or Disney+'s newsfeed for the official word. Cast Updates: Who's Returning for A Thousand Blows Season 2?
The stellar cast of A Thousand Blows is a major draw, and most key players are expected to return for Season 2. Based on the Season 1 finale teaser and reports, here's who we anticipate seeing: Malachi Kirby as Hezekiah Moscow : The Jamaican immigrant turned boxing star will likely continue his journey, grappling with grief and betrayal.
Erin Doherty as Mary Carr : The fierce leader of the Forty Elephants faces a strained relationship with Hezekiah after Season 1's fallout.
Stephen Graham as Henry 'Sugar' Goodson : The menacing boxing kingpin remains a central figure, with his rivalry with Hezekiah heating up.
Hannah Walters as Eliza Moody : A key member of the Forty Elephants, Walters is expected to return, adding depth to the gang's dynamics.
Susan Lynch as Jane Carr : Mary's ally in the Forty Elephants will likely face new challenges as the gang's story evolves.
Robert Glenister as Indigo Jeremy: With his role in Alec's death revealed, the Elephant Boys leader could be a major target in Season 2.
Sadly, Francis Lovehall as Alec Munroe won't return after his tragic death in Season 1's penultimate episode, though flashbacks are possible. Similarly, Jason Tobin as Mr. Lao fled to Liverpool, so his return is uncertain but could tie into new storylines. New faces are also expected, especially with a potential focus on the Elephant Boys gang. What to Expect in A Thousand Blows Season 2
Season 1 left us hanging with some serious drama. Hezekiah's heart is broken after Alec's death, and he's not exactly on speaking terms with Mary since she kept quiet about who ordered the hit. That bombshell about Indigo Jeremy being behind it? Yeah, that's setting up a revenge plot for the ages. Mary's got her own mess to deal with, balancing her role as the Forty Elephants' leader while things get shaky with Hezekiah and maybe even within her own crew.
Steven Knight teased that Season 2 is going to crank up the stakes with 'more of that wild energy, but with some curveballs you won't see coming.' Sounds like we're in for more bloody boxing matches, deeper character drama, and maybe a few new rivalries. There might be a small time jump, but Knight's talk about moving 'toward the 21st century' feels like a long-term plan, so don't expect a huge leap yet. The big question is whether Hezekiah and Mary can patch things up or if they're headed for an all-out war. Oh, and let's not forget Sugar and his brother Treacle—those two are a ticking time bomb after that brutal Season 1 beatdown.
Knight's also known for mixing real history with some creative twists. He's said the craziest parts of the show, like Hezekiah's lion-taming dreams, are often based on true stories, while the 'normal' stuff gets a bit of flair. So, expect Season 2 to keep that vibe, diving deeper into the gritty 1880s East End with its gangs, fights, and betrayals.

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Returns in 2025
The 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays returns to Walt Disney World Resort from November 29 through December 30, 2025. This fan-favorite event transforms EPCOT into a dazzling celebration of holiday traditions from around the world, offering guests a rich tapestry of seasonal flavors, live entertainment, and heartwarming storytelling. A Global Celebration of the Season Spanning World Showcase and select areas of World Celebration and World Discovery, the Festival of the Holidays invites guests to explore how different cultures commemorate the holiday season. From festive music and traditional décor to authentic foods and live performances, every corner of EPCOT is infused with the spirit of joy, peace, and goodwill. The Candlelight Processional Returns At the heart of the festival is the Candlelight Processional, one of Walt Disney World's most cherished holiday traditions. Staged nightly at the America Gardens Theatre, this stirring performance features a full orchestra, a massed choir composed of Disney cast members and community groups, and a rotating lineup of celebrity narrators who retell the biblical story of Christmas. Guests can expect a powerful blend of music and narration, accompanied by candlelit ambiance and timeless arrangements. In the coming months, Disney will release the full list of celebrity narrators along with details about dining packages, which offer reserved seating options for the show. Savor the Season with Holiday Kitchens The Holiday Kitchens are a culinary tour of holiday traditions, offering more than a dozen food booths around the park that highlight seasonal flavors from various cultures. From classic American holiday dishes to international treats, there's something to satisfy every palate. In past years, popular booths have included: American Holiday Table – featuring traditional favorites like slow-roasted turkey and stuffing. Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen – highlighting Mexican holiday cuisine with tamales and festive beverages. L'Chaim! Holiday Kitchen – offering Jewish delicacies such as potato latkes and brisket. Yukon Holiday Kitchen – serving Canadian comfort food like seared scallops and maple-butter glazed treats. Menus for the 2025 festival are expected to be announced later this fall, and guests can pick up a Festival Passport to track their culinary journey. Festive Entertainment and Storytelling The entertainment lineup this year brings back a series of Holiday Storytellers, each stationed at different World Showcase pavilions. These cultural representatives share authentic stories and customs from their native countries, offering engaging, family-friendly performances that bring global traditions to life. Past storytellers have included: Père Noël in France, sharing the magic of a French Christmas. La Befana in Italy, telling the tale of the kind-hearted witch who delivers gifts to children. Daruma Seller in Japan, discussing New Year traditions and the symbolism of the Daruma doll. At the World Showcase Plaza stage, JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season returns with an uplifting blend of gospel, R&B, and contemporary holiday music. This high-energy show is a must-see for anyone seeking powerful vocals and feel-good vibes. The Holiday Cookie Stroll Back by popular demand, the Holiday Cookie Stroll invites guests to indulge their sweet tooth. Purchase five designated cookies at select Holiday Kitchens (stamped in your Festival Passport), and you'll receive a complimentary specialty cookie as a reward. It's a fun and festive activity that's perfect for families and snack lovers. More Magic Throughout the Park Guests can also enjoy: Seasonal overlays on select attractions and decor throughout EPCOT. Holiday merchandise featuring exclusive apparel, kitchenware, and collectibles. Themed PhotoPass opportunities, including Magic Shots and festive backdrops.
