On Wednesday, September 4, the former co-stars of the popular FOX series Lucious and Cookie Lyon got back together to celebrate their most recent project, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist.
BrandSpur’s digital news platform reached information that at the Jazz at Lincoln Centre in New York, which was the premiere event for the heist series, the actors posed for pictures.
The 53-year-old Henson was dressed in a sparkling white minidress with long sleeves and a low neckline. Tall, strappy silver shoes finished office the sultry appearance.
The 55-year-old Howard had a brown hair wig on top of a light blue collared shirt and a grey suit. The two are members of an all-star ensemble cast that also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Hart, and Don Cheadle.
The series, which makes its Peacock debut on Thursday, September 5, centres on the aftermath of a robbery that happened following Muhammad Ali’s epic victory over Jerry Quarry on October 26, 1970.
Continuing with a summary: “When a hustler named Chicken Man (Hart) hosts an afterparty to celebrate the fight with a guest list of the country’s wealthiest, the night ends with the most brazen criminal underworld heist in Atlanta’s history.”
Chicken Man, who is thought to have planned the crime: “Is hellbent on clearing his name but must convince his old adversary, J.D. Hudson (Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.”
Chloe Bailey, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Dexter Darden, Lori Harvey, and Sinqua Walls are among the guest stars.
The last time Henson and Howard appeared on screen together was in the 2015–2020 season of Empire. Henson said that the two had not seen one another since Empire ended until Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist filming started on Tuesday, September 3.
Henson went on to say: “I hadn’t seen Terrence since we left Chicago. It’s great to see him again.”
