It's 2024 and one of the best British television personalities, Steven Knight, is in business like never before! Yes, admittedly, his projects these days are not as critically acclaimed as Peaky Blinders, but they always boast a high level of production and, of course, an excellent cast, which has never been wrong with Knight's TV series.
Last year's All the Light We Cannot See delighted us with the talent of young actors like Louis Hofmann and Aria Mia Loberti, as well as Hollywood colossi Hugh Laurie and Mark Ruffalo, while this March the BBC released This Town, led by the excellent British cast of Levi Brown, Jordan Bolger, Ben Rose and Eve Austin.
And the star of the new series, which is now streaming on Hulu, is none other than Elisabeth Moss, along with other equally stellar cast members that we will talk about below. Although the show has failed to impress critics so far,...

Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockman have never had an assignment like the one they faced with “All the Light They Cannot See,” the four-part Netflix wartime limited series that’s adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from author Anthony Doerr. The UK-based casting directors were tasked with finding a pair of blind actors to play the dual lead role of Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl. Executive producer and director Shawn Levy was insistent that they go for strict authenticity in casting. And Netflix was very much onboard. It tells you everything you need to know about partners Bevan and Brockman that hey viewed this incredibly difficult challenge as “a hugely appealing” thing, in Bevan’s words. “Casting a blind person in a leading role…well, it’s never been done before,” Bevan adds. “But that was very much part of the appeal.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Steven Knight has been round the block, and the British writer-creator of the iconic series “Peaky Blinders” knew when he was hired to adapt the novel “All the Light We Cannot See” as a four-part Netflix limited series that the primary challenge would essentially be to avoid trying to fix something that wasn’t broken. The 2014 book by author Anthony Doerr had not only been a runaway bestseller but also earned Doerr the Pulitzer Prize, and Knight had no intention of compromising its brilliance while writing the series. “It wasn’t ever a thought in my head to say, ‘Ok, I’m going to impose myself on this’,” he says. “It was actually quite the opposite. For me, as far as possible, it was more, ‘Let’s let this horse ride, let it run the way it is, where you feel as if you need to do something, then do something…...

Louis Hofmann is an actor who has a certain Aryan look. There’s no getting around it. He’s used it to find work playing Nazis. “I’ve portrayed quite a few Nazi characters,” the German-born actor says, “which doesn’t mean they’re all the same. I guess it’s very important to remind ourselves of what has happened and to keep making these films to avoid it happening again.” Hoffman is at it again portraying Werner Pfennig, a brilliant German teenager who is reluctantly compelled to assist the Nazi cause during World War II due to his technical skill with radios in “All the Light We Cannot See,” the four-part Netflix adaptation of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from Anthony Doerr. “I’m glad you sympathize with that human, whatever the uniform that he had to put on.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Aria Mia Loberti was, by any measure, an incredibly high achiever, particularly for someone legally blind. As a triple major at the University of Rhode Island, she was graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 2020. She received a Fulbright Scholarship who earned her master’s degree in the UK. And she was studying for her PhD two years ago at Penn State. Yet she felt unfulfilled. “I was just unhappy, and I didn’t really know why,” she admits. “I’d spent my whole life fighting for my education, and I was literally as far as you could go at the top and doing really well. But I felt like I was living someone else’s life, like I didn’t know what I was supposed to do with my life, and I was just kind of going through the motions. I didn’t know what I was...

Netflix’s take on All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr’s celebrated 2014 novel, dropped in full on Thursday — with some noticeable changes to the source material.
The four-episode miniseries focuses on the interwoven journeys of Marie-Laure (Aria Mia Loberti), a blind teenager in France, and Werner (Louis Hofmann), a German soldier, during World War II. Marie-Laure and Werner’s paths finally cross in person during the limited series’ finale, though the events that take place before and after their meeting deviate quite substantially from the beats of Doerr’s book. Let’s break down the biggest changes:

Shawn Levy opens up about why he felt drawn to direct Netflix’s new miniseries All the Light We Cannot See.
The Steven Knight-created four-episode series, adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by Anthony Doerr, follows Marie-Laure, a blind French teen, who forms an unlikely relationship with a German soldier, Werner, after she takes refuge from World War II in her uncle’s town in France.
“When I read the first draft of the first episode of the adaptation, my plan was to produce the show, maybe direct an episode,” Levy told People magazine in a recent interview. “But after I read it, I knew I needed to do it all myself.”
Though the series is unlike the usual genre he goes for, he explained, “I loved the book, I loved the adaptation. And it connected to my prior work in that it is fundamentally — and unabashedly — emotional,...

Were one to go into “All the Light We Cannot See” totally cold — drawn to the four-part limited series, say, purely by its placement atop Netflix’s home page — it would be impossible to discern that it was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel celebrated for its lyricism and profundity.
The dialogue here is pedestrian. The lead character, blind French teenager Marie-Laure LeBlanc (screen newcomer Aria Mia Loberti), escapes the German invasion of Paris in World War II with her father, Daniel (Mark Ruffalo). They seek refuge in the French port city of Saint-Malo. Yet throughout the journey, and the limited series, our Gallic heroine and Papa LeBlanc speak English with British accents.
The series’ wartime visuals are dark and obviously CG-enhanced. More practical effects include perfectly contained fires placed in strategic spots to indicate — along with James Newton Howard’s overwrought score — that a neighborhood has been bombed.

Don’t go into Netflix’s adaptation of All The Light We Cannot See expecting it to be a direct translation of Anthony Doerr’s bestselling novel.
The four-part limited series, which launched on Thursday, is quite liberal at time when it comes to bringing the story to life on screen. But, a page-for-page adaptation was never the goal. Instead, director and executive producer Shawn Levy told Deadline he expects audiences to feel “the heart of the story” is present throughout.
Crediting screenwriter Steven Knight, who penned the series, Levy used this analogy: “The book is the mountain. The mountain will always exist. Long after us, the mountain will be here. We did a painting of that mountain. We’re not trying to replace it. We’re not trying to make a photograph or a Xerox. It’s our impression of that mountain.”

Before there were dramas on television, there were dramas on the radio. With no visuals to present to their audience, radio series had to conjure up entire worlds out of carefully scripted narration, homespun special effects, and the sheer vibrance of their actors’ voices. Done right, whether back then or in modern podcast fiction, the effect can be magical, with the soundscape creating an experience that can be just as immersive as, if not more than, a story you watch on a screen. Heck, in 1938, Orson Welles nearly caused a...

Shawn Levy’s All the Light We Cannot See is the latest adaptation to join Netflix’s abundant supply of mediocre, half-baked shows that could’ve been masterpieces but have ended up being dead stock because of their sheer lack of heart. What is set out to be a story about two teenagers from opposite sides during the Second World War ends up coming across as a very dry love story. The series follows the lives of three people (mainly) during the Second World War. Their lives intersect in the Nazi-occupied small town of St. Malo during its bombing. Netflix executive 1: “Let’s make a mini-series with this 500-page book.” Netflix executive 2: “Sure, how about 4 episodes under 50 minutes? It should be enough to cover all the important details”. Sold. Alright, it’s not fair to say that every TV or film adaptation of a popular novel has been bad.

The latest feature from David Fincher, a big-budget drama series from Steven Knight and Shawn Levy, and an Oscar hopeful starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster are among the standout new additions hitting Netflix in November.
With The Killer, Fincher reteams with Seven writer Andrew Kevin Walker to adapt the graphic novel written by Alexis Nolent. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival this year and debuts on Netflix on Nov. 10, stars Michael Fassbender as a shadowy unnamed assassin and features a cast that includes Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Gabriel Polanco, Kerry O’Malley, Emiliano Pernía, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton.
The Hollywood Reporter‘s review of The Killer described the film as “a satisfyingly retro, location-hopping genre exercise with fisticuffs, gadgets (albeit ones bought from Amazon) and smooth-talking antagonists that all plays like a tongue-in-cheek spoof of James Bond movies.”

“All the Light We Cannot See” is not, in the strictest sense, a comfort watch. Like the Pulitzer Prize-winning Anthony Doerr novel on which it’s based, the four-episode limited series takes place in a walled city under siege by a bombing campaign, its trapped civilians unable to evacuate — hardly a relaxing break from today’s headlines. But the Netflix show is, in a way, a return to simpler times.
This particular walled city is located in Nazi-occupied France, on the verge of American liberation in August 1944. As written, “All the Light We Cannot See” is already set amid a conflict that’s far closer to good versus evil than most armed struggles. As adapted by screenwriter Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders”) and director Shawn Levy, the series leans into sentiment and moral simplicity. Knight and Levy aim for an uplifting, inspirational tale of connection that transcends division, distance and prejudice,...

A throwback to when big books became big miniseries, the lavish four-part adaptation of All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, looks and sounds ravishing — James Newton Howard’s lush score will have you choked up from the start. Too bad Steven Knight‘s perfunctory script and Shawn Levy‘s (Stranger Things) blunt direction simplifies the WWII yarn into a manipulative cartoon fable. Nuance being war’s first casualty. As Marie-Laure, the blind French girl broadcasting coded radio messages from a Nazi-occupied seacoast village, exquisite newcomer Aria Mia Loberti (herself sight-impaired) is a find. She’s the best reason to watch as the story devolves into overproduced melodrama. Her counterpart from the war’s other side, as in the novel, is Werner (Louis Hofmann), a young and very reluctant German soldier who happens ...

‘All the Light We Cannot See’ panel: A global casting search finds two needles in a haystack [Watch]
People will look at the cast of the epic Netflix limited series adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning World War II-themed novel “All the Light We Cannot See” from author Anthony Doerr and finds a few names that catch their eye – specifically Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie. They’re big names with decades-long acting pedigrees, after all. But the real stars of the four-parter that premieres in its entirety on November 2 are two females you have never heard of – one a young child, the other a young woman – for whom the series is their introduction to performing: Nell Sutton and Aria Mia Loberti.
The two portray the same role a decade or so apart and are the product of a global casting search for actresses to play the lead character Marie-Laure LeBlanc. As “All the Light We Cannot See” casting director Lucy Bevan told an audience at the DGA Theater in...

That summer of 2022, the walled coastal French town of Saint-Malo got a taste of Hollywood, with “Stranger Things” director-executive producer Shawn Levy running up and down the windy beach, fiercely determined to shoot crucial scenes of his World War II-set Netflix series “All the Light We Cannot See.”
It wasn’t over-the-top action that Levy was hyped about, but rather an intimate father-daughter moment portrayed by Mark Ruffalo and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti, who plays Marie-Laure, a courageous blind teenager living in Nazi-occupied France.
Loberti, who is a Ph.D. student in rhetoric at Penn State, was discovered through a worldwide casting call for actors who are blind or visually impaired. In “All the Light We Cannot See,” Marie (as she’s called in the series) crosses paths with Werner (Louis Hofmann), a conflicted young German soldier hired for his radio tech skills, who is willing to challenge orders. The textured adaptation,...

Netflix is sending us to the battlefields of World War II with its new miniseries All the Light We Cannot See — but it’s offering a glimmer of hope as well.
The streaming giant has released a new trailer for the series, premiering Thursday, Nov. 2 (which you watch above), with Mark Ruffalo starring as Daniel LeBlanc, who flees Nazi-occupied Paris with his blind daughter Marie-Laure in tow. They hide out with an eccentric uncle played by Hugh Laurie, and Marie-Laure (Aria Mia Loberti) grows up to become an underground radio broadcaster, using her words to fight the incoming Nazi empire.

During one of the many flashbacks in “All the Light We Cannot See,” Marie-Laure (Aria Mia Loberti) sits with her great-uncle, Etienne (Hugh Laurie), as the aging Frenchman casts a line into the English Channel. Their fishing expedition is both a ploy and, well, a fishing expedition: They’re trawling for intelligence, not dinner, as Etienne describes the new boats docked nearby to his blind grandniece, who dutifully writes down whatever she’s told. Later, their reports will be shared with the Allies over the radio, but only if their cover, the fishing pole, masks their more critical tool: the typewriter. Nazi troops have taken over the small French town of Saint-Malo, and a cadre of Germans soon stumble upon their two-person operation. As an inquisitive officer demands answers from Marie, Etienne reaches into his tackle box for a makeshift weapon. If they don’t buy her story, he knows what must be done.

At the start of the third episode of Netflix’s adaptation of All the Light We Cannot See, the character of Etienne — on the page a traumatized Great War veteran who conquers his agoraphobia out of devotion to his blind great-niece — comes peeling out of nowhere on a motorbike, vintage machine gun in hand. After participating in the death of an unnamed Nazi, he bellows upstairs to his great-niece about the secret radio transmissions she’s been sending, presumably assuming that if she’s blind, everybody else in their occupied French seaside town might be deaf.

You have to hand it to Shawn Levy. Check out the teaser trailer here:
The series is set across World War II, primarily focusing on Aria Mia Liberty’s Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French teenager seeking refuge in her uncle’s house; and Louis Hofmann’s Werner Pfennig, a German youngster drawn into the army after being accepted into military school for his radio technology skills. Ruffalo plays Marie-Laure’s father Daniel, with a magnificently-bearded Hugh Laurie has her great-uncle Etienne. There’s no dialogue in this teaser, but it’s certainly evocative – promising a grand, sweeping scope, moving between battlefields, aerial action, and Nazi-occupied towns. Through it all, the connection between Marie-Laure and Werner is set to anchor the story.
The limited series is due to hit Netflix on 2 November. Stay tuned to see if it lives up to the streaming service’s last wartime hit, All Quiet On The Western Front.
