Following the teaser to Hulu’s limited series about Mike Tyson, the streaming service provider has just released an official trailer to the eight-part series. Capturing the tumultuous path of the legendary heavyweight boxer, Trevante Rhodes‘s portrayal is given a more detailed look as clips of some of Iron Mike’s most infamous moments are shown — from biting Evander Holyfield’s ear, his prison sentence, and even his interaction with his white Bengal tiger.
On top of Rhodes, other characters are also shown like Harvey Keitel as Cus D’Amato and Russell Hornsby as Don King. The series description reads: “Focusing the lens on Mike Tyson, the series examines class in America, race in America, fame and the power of media, misogyny, the wealth divide, the promise of the American Dream, and ultimately our own role in shaping Mike’s story.”
Fans of Mike Tyson can expect the eight-part series to launch on August 25 with the first two episodes first, followed by two episodes each week on Hulu.
