Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies is a television adaptation of William Golding's 1954 novel, adapted by Jack Thorne and directed by Marc Munden. Set in the early 1950s, the four-episode series follows schoolboys stranded on a Pacific island after a plane crash, as rival leadership struggles—Ralph's efforts to maintain order with Piggy's help and Jack's focus on hunting—undermine social structure and lead to escalating conflict. It features an ensemble cast, including many first-time actors.
