From Deadline
Taraji P. Henson has joined the cast of Peacock‘s limited series Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist in the series regular role of Vivian Thomas, a savvy businesswoman and Chicken Man’s (Kevin Hart) mistress.
The series reunites Henson with Hart who have collaborated on multiple projects including the films Think Like a Man and Not Easily Broken. Additionally, Fight Night also brings Henson back together with Terrence Howard and Craig Brewer, with whom she collaborated on Hustle & Flow and Empire, among other projects.
Set in Atlanta, Fight Night tells the infamous story of how an armed robbery during the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight changed not only one man’s life but an entire city’s destiny.
As Deadline exclusively revealed on Wednesday morning, Dexter Darden will star as the legendary boxer in the limited series. In addition to Henson, Darden, Hart and Howard, Samuel L. Jackson also stars.

I’m watching.
I can’t stand Kevin Fart and try to avoid his movies at all cost but I might have to deal with him this time. This seems interesting. When will Kevin go away?
I Don't Care To See Kevin Hart In Anything But, This Series Has So Many Actors That I Do Support & Enjoy Watching. I Guess I'll Take One For The Team....
Don't have PeaPea and want be getting it. It's a shame that our best can only get a job on off branded channels.
Also not feeling the Shrimpy KH either.
I have to laugh at SLJackson. That man will take any and all jobs to keep working. He's the real Hustle and Flow of Hollywood. Oscar for the most jobs ever taken.
I'll watch the first episode of any limited series to see if it will move me. If not, I'm out. Kevin Hart's series "True Story" on Netflix was excellent and I don't like dude, either. I was hooked. Wesley Snipes stole the show on that one. I'll give this one a shot.
Nice concept and I'm interested in watching. Best of luck to all involved.
Okay, Ms. Henson. Glad to see it!
Kevin is in his heist era and Taraji is getting a steady check! Yayyy 😁😐
Maybe she'll be given a private trailer, all to herself.
👀
@8:11. Me, too. I avoid him whenever possible, but... he was okay in that Netflix series with Wesley Snipes (I'll watch Snipes in anything). I'll watch Kevin in this to see Taraji, but I usually avoid him like the plague.
Yawn...uninteresting.
I want to support you Taraji but I don’t support Kevin. So, I won’t be watching. I never watch anything he’s in.
