Last Light, Peacock’s new limited series starring Matthew Fox (Lost) and based on Alex Scarrow’s international best-selling novel of the same name, has confirmed its entire cast.
The show will follow a family as they become separated as global oil delivery is disrupted and the world descends into turmoil.
Alyth Ross as Laura Yeats, a passionate and intelligent university student determined to facing the increasing climate change catastrophe and finding a solution to protect the earth, is among the new cast members of Last Light.
Unfortunately, Laura’s dedication brings her into conflict with her father, Andy Yeats (Fox), an oil industry expert. Sam, an eight-year-old boy with a degenerative eye illness that is slowly robbing him of his sight, will be played by Taylor Fay.
Elena Yeats, a brilliant and kind mother who gives up her booming professional job to devote all of her energies to finding a cure for her son’s sickness, is the final member of the Yeats family.
Last Light also features Amber Rose Revah (The Punisher) as Mika Bakhash, whose job it is to ensure energy-related compliance between big oil and the British government; Victor Alli (Belfast, Grantchester) as Owen Jones, a brilliant college student who has been working his way through school; and Tom Wlaschiha (Game of Thrones, Stranger Things) as Karl Bergmann, a British Government worker with contacts in a foreign country.
The series will be written and executive produced by Patrick Massett and John Zinman (Friday Night Lights, The Blacklist). Dennie Gordon (Jack Ryan) will direct the five hour-long episodes of Last Light, which he will also executive produce alongside Fox, Massett, Zinman, William Choi of Entertainment 360, Sydney Gallonde, Rikke Ennis, Patrick Renault, and Peter Settman.
Last Light has yet to be given a release date.
