It continues, “Suspected of masterminding the crime, Chicken Man is hellbent on clearing his name but must convince his old adversary, J.D. Hudson (Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.”
Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist is set to star big names such as Terrence Howard, Taraji P. Henson, Samuel L. Jackson, Hart, and Cheadle. The guest stars include Marsha Stephanie Blake, Chloe Bailey, Sinqua Walls, Dexter Darden, and Lori Harvey. The newly released teaser for the star-studded series showcases an eventful party, described by Chicken Man in a voiceover as the “place you had to be.”
He continues as a group of masked gunmen force their way into the party, “This little shindig is just the beginning. When you bring together all the baddest mothers around, something’s bound to go down.” After the words “based on some s—t that really happened” appear on the screen, the clip cuts to cops arriving at the scene.
