Santa Monica, Calif. - June 12, 2025 - STARZ (NASDAQ: STRZ) announced today it has greenlit "Fightland," a high-octane scripted drama set in the cutthroat, high-stakes, cash-rich, world of British boxing. The series marks another step in the newly independent network's commitment to building an owned-IP-driven slate of premium originals for underrepresented audiences. Executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson through his G-Unit Film & Television, the series delivers a gripping story of redemption, betrayal, and brutal ambition in and out of the ring. STARZ has ordered eight episodes of the crime drama and production is slated to begin this fall in London.

"Fightland" follows a disgraced, formerly incarcerated boxing champion who returns to London to seek vengeance against the crime family he thinks betrayed him. With edge-of-seat action and populated by dangerous characters, this is a world of money and power never seen before.

"Fightland marks my first internationally produced show through my G-Unit Film & Television. I am excited to bring that global energy to the screen," said Executive Producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. "I anticipate this to be more successful than anything I've done before - boxing's raw stakes are gonna take it to another level."

"Set against the backdrop of the British boxing underground, this series promises to be the perfect combination of character and adrenaline," said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for STARZ. "'Fightland' is the kind of unapologetically visceral, premium storytelling that STARZ is known for, and we believe that each dramatic round of this compelling drama will leave fans wanting more."
