Boksačka drama Lights Out, teaser

Lights Out je nova FX-ova drama, najavljena za siječanj sljedeće godine, o kojoj se dosad malo govorilo. Obzirom na FX-ovu besprijekornu reputaciju posljednjih godina, već u startu ima solidan kredit.

Radi se o boksačkoj drami koju je kreirao Justin Zackham (The Bucket List, scenarist i producent), a showrunner će biti Warren Leight (izvršni producent druge sezone In Treatmenta). Opis serije djeluje kao Rocky V, kad Rocky V ne bi bio smeće. Holt McCallany glumi bivšeg boksačkog prvaka koji se vraća u ring zbog financijskih problema. Stacy Keach, Catherine McCormack i Pablo Schreiber također imaju uloge u seriji.

HitFix ima teaser, a njihov glavni bloger, Alan Sepinwall, pogledani pilot ocjenjuje odličnim. Službeni sinopsis u nastavku.
