Netflix has today debuted the official trailer for Shawn Levy‘s (The Adam Project, Free Guy) four-part limited series adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “All the Light We Cannot See”; a story of the extraordinary power of human connection & a beacon of light that can lead us through even the darkest of times.
Directed by Levy and written by Steven Knight (Star Wars: New Jedi Order, Spencer, “Peaky Blinders”), this ground-breaking series deftly interweaves the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl and Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal radio broadcasts over the course of a decade.
The series introduces newcomers Aria Mia Loberti and Nell Sutton as the older and younger Marie-Laure respectively, and also stars Mark Ruffalo (The Avengers franchise, The Adam Project), Hugh Laurie (“House,” “Roadkill”), Louis Hofmann (“Dark”), Lars Eidinger (About Joan, White Noise), and Marion Bailey (“Obsession,” “The Crown”).
Besides winning the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Doeer’s novel also took home the 2015 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction and was shortlisted for the National Book Award and was the runner-up for the 2015 Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Fiction.
“All the Light We Cannot See” launches on Netflix on November 2nd, 2023 and, in the meantime, we’ll leave you with the aforementioned trailer.
