The four-part Lord of the Flies, from Adolescence writer Jack Thorne, will hit Netflix on May 4.
The series adapts William Golding’s 1954 novel of the same name, with one episode dedicated to each of the main quartet: Ralph (Winston Sawyers), Jack (Lox Pratt), Piggy (David McKenna) and Simon (Ike Talbut). The infamous novel is the story of schoolboys stranded on a tropical island following a deadly plane crash.
The show first aired on the BBC in the U.K. in February. Marc Munden (The Mark of Cain, National Treasure) directs with music by the Oscar-winning Hans Zimmer, Kara Talve (of Bleeding Fingers Music) and Cristobal Tapia de Veer.
