First Look: Lori Harvey as ‘Lola Falana’ in Peacock’s ‘Fight Night’ Series

That’s a stone-cold fox, Jack!

Professional baddie Lori Harvey is entering her Hollywood era in Peacock’s star-studded limited series Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, which tells the infamous story of an armed robbery that took place on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight. This event not only changed the life of one man but also helped elevate Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.”

Harvey, who looks stunning in first-look images from the series, will step into the heels of famed singer, dancer, and actress Lola Falana. Falana was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical in 1975 for her performance in Doctor Jazz.

Based on the acclaimed iHeart True Crime podcast, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist follows a hustler named Chicken Man, played by Kevin Hart, as he hosts an afterparty to celebrate the fight with the country’s wealthiest players. The night ends with the boldest criminal underworld heist in Atlanta’s history.

Suspected of masterminding the crime, Chicken Man is determined to clear his name. However, he must convince his old adversary J.D. Hudson, portrayed by Don Cheadle, who is one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force. Hudson is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.
