Watch: How Many F-Bombs Dropped in Premiere of "Kingdom?"

The uncredited star of Kingdom? The F-bomb!

DirecTV's highly anticipated new series, starring Friday Night Lights' Matt Lauria, Nick Jonas, Jonathan Tucker and Frank Grillo, centers on the bloody and brutal world of MMA fighting, where just as many curses as punches are flying. And while watching its premiere tonight, we bet you found yourself saying, "F--k, they are saying f--k a lot!'"

We decided to play a little game with the buff cast when we caught up with them at Kingdom's premiere party, asking them to guess just how many F-bombs were dropped in the first episode. 

And guess what? They were all waaay off.

"We use it, we can use it," executive producer Byron Balasco told us of the F-word's many appearances in the premiere. "It's life, it's part of the language, so we don't shy away from it."

As Lauria, who plays a fighter recently released from prison, so eloquently said, "You know what? Some things are hard to articulate without just f--king saying it." 

Press play on the video above to find out just how many F-bombs are dropped, and how many each cast member thought was said!
