Sony Pictures Television (SPT) said Friday that Netflix has acquired U.S. rights to Lord of the Flies, the limited series adaptation written by multi-award-winning screenwriter Jack Thorne (Adolescence, His Dark Materials, Enola Holmes), produced by Eleven (Sex Education, Ten Pound Poms), and directed by BAFTA-winner Marc Munden (Utopia, National Treasure, Help). “The U.S. sale leads a wave of distribution deals in territories across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Latin America, and Asia-Pacific,” Sony said. It marks the second year in a row that Sony Pictures has presented a series at Berlinale, following the gala premiere for The Narrow Road to the Deep North from Curio Pictures last year. The series is written by Thorne, directed by Marc Munden, and produced by Callum Devrell-Cameron (Sex Education, Hanna). Series composer is Cristobal Tapia de Veer, with the main theme and additional music from Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve.
