Henson, 53, wore a sparkly white mini-dress with long sleeves and a plunging neckline. The sexy look was paired with tall, strappy silver heels. Howard, 55, wore a gray suit over a light blue collared shirt and a brown hair wig.

The duo are part of a star-studded ensemble cast, which also includes Kevin Hart, Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson.

Premiering Thursday, Sept. 5, on Peacock, the series follows the aftermath of a robbery that took place after Muhammad Ali's historic victory against Jerry Quarry on Oct. 26, 1970.

"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," a synopsis explains.
