‘Lost’ Actor Matthew Fox is Returning to TV for Peacock
“Lost” star Matthew Fox is returning to television with a new series for Peacock.
The limited drama-thriller series “Last Light” will also star “Downton Abbey’s Joanne Froggatt, and is based on Alex Scarrow’s international best-selling book of the same name. “Last Light” tells the story of a family fighting to survive in a world that’s been thrown into chaos.
Fox plays petro-chemist Andy Nielsen who knows how dependent the world is on oil. Fearing the fallout that would occur should the supply be disrupted, Andy’s worst imaginings are realized during a business trip to the Middle East, when things begin to fall apart. Meanwhile, his daughter is at home in London, and his wife Elena (Froggatt) and young son are in Paris, leaving the family separated. In order to find one another, they’ll sacrifice everything.
The five-episode one-hour drama begins filming in Prague soon.
The series is being produced by MGM International TV Productions, in association with Nordin Entertainment Group’s Viaplay. It is executive produced by Fox, showrunners Patrick Massett and John Zinman (“Friday Night Lights,” “The Blacklist”), director Dennie Gordon (“Jack Ryan”), William Choi, Sydney Gallonde, Rikke Ennis, Patrick Renault, and Peter Settman.
