USA Broadcast date for Lord of the Flies announced!
Jack Thorne’s adaptation of Lord of the Flies will be broadcast on Netflix in the USA on May 4th 2026.
The first ever TV adaptation of Lord of the Flies is due to hit screens in the USA on May 4th! The series, which has been extremely popular and well-reviewed in the UK, is comprised of four episodes, which focus on Piggy, Jack, Simon and Ralph. Thorne – the multi-award winner co-creator of Adolescence – believes the story to be as important as ever:
“As a society, we’re having a conversation right now about boys […] We’re losing a generation of boys, and we’re losing it because of the hate they are ingesting — because it is an answer to their loneliness and isolation.”
