The story of Mike Tyson may be one of the most well-known in both sport and pop culture, but that doesn’t render it any less compelling.
Hulu clearly agrees because the platform will play host to ‘Mike’ – an eight-part limited series about the boxing icon.
‘Moonlight’ star Trevante Rhodes laces up his gloves and transforms into Iron Mike – and, based on the newly unleashed trailer, his portrayal looks all sorts of convincing.
Helmed by creator/screenwriter Steven Rogers and showrunner Karin Gist, ‘Mike’ is touted as a “no holds barred” look into the peaks and troughs of one of the most legendary entities to ever step into the ring.
More than a topline tabloid exploration, ‘Mike’ deep dives into various corners of the star’s life with a granular focus on race and class, the American Dream, and the public molding of a story like no other.
With an August arrival date set, check out the first look trailer below…
‘Mike’ premieres on August 25 on Hulu. We’ll be watching. Will you?
🍆🍆🍆🍆😋😍
Facts he is fiiiiiiiiiine! The only thing you’ve EVER been correct about.
Lol brother is fine, but i’ll pass. Mike didn’t cosign this show, he’s doing his own biopic with Jamie Foxx so i’ll wait for that one.
