Disney has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming 8-episode limited series “Mike”, which has been created by screenwriter Steven Rogers and the team behind “I, Tonya” and showrunner Karin Gist, executive producer of “Our Kind of People”

“Mike” explores the dynamic and controversial story of Mike Tyson. The 8-episode limited series explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life – from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again. 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.

This series is an unauthorized and no-holds-barred look at the life of Mike Tyson – and it is one wild ride.

Check out the teaser trailer below:

The series has been created by 20th Television and created by “I, Tonya” screenwriter Steven Rogers, showrunner Karin Gist will executive produce with Claire Brown of The Gist Of It, along with the “I, Tonya” team of Rogers, director Craig Gillespie, Clubhouse Pictures’ Bryan Unkeless and Scott Morgan, LuckyChap’s Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Brett Hedblom and Entertainment 360’s Darin Friedman.

“Mike” will be released on Hulu on August 25th. Since this series is being created by 20th Television, it should also be released internationally as a Star Original on Star+ in Latin America and on Disney+ everywhere else. However, no release date has yet been confirmed.
