"Lord Of The Flies" is a television drama series based on the 1954 novel of the same name by William Golding. It is the first-ever television adaptation of the novel. It was developed and written by Emmy Award-winning writer Jack Thorne ("Adolescence"), directed by Marc Munden ("The Sympathizer") for BBC iPlayer and executive produced by Joel Wilson for BBC One in a co-production with Stan. The four-episode series was released in the UK in February, and then Sony Pictures Television confirmed Netflix had acquired the U.S. rights to the series, and it premiered on the streaming platform on May 4th, 2026, where it received positive reviews for its direction, cinematography, writing, and performances from its young cast of up-and-coming actors. Thorne, Munden, along with actors Winston Sawyers, Lox Pratt, David McKenna, and Ike Talbut were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the series, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the series, which is up for your consideration for this year's Emmy Awards and is now available to stream on Netflix. Thank you, and enjoy!

GG Hawkins speaks with BAFTA-winning director Marc Munden about directing the new Netflix adaptation of Lord of the Flies, written by Jack Thorne. Munden discusses revisiting William Golding's novel, shaping the series' visual language, filming on a remote island in Malaysia, working with 36 young actors, and how limitations around child actors' schedules helped inspire the show's hallucinatory nighttime look. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Marc Munden discuss... Why Munden was initially conflicted about adapting Lord of the Flies again How Jack Thorne structured the four-part series around Piggy, Jack, Simon, and Ralph Using the rainforest as an alien, living ecosystem that mirrors the boys' collapsing society How production restrictions led Munden to develop an infrared-inspired visual approach for nighttime scenes Rehearsing for five weeks with 36 child actors before shooting Directing young performers toward natural behavior instead of “performing” How Munden uses analog production books filled with references, sketches, script pages, and notes Why post-production became a continuation of discovery, including iPhone footage and evolving portrait sequences Munden's advice for emerging filmmakers: make films, learn to write, be kind, and keep learning from others Memorable Quotes: “I thought, well, who needs another Lord of the Flies?” “I wanted to just characterize the rainforest as something which is alien, that has a strange beauty to it.” “I think filmmaking is the mixture of extreme joy and small defeats.” “I would say, shoot your own film.” Guests: Marc Munden Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Welcome to a special streaming show. Of course, the usual streaming gang are all here, Declan, Graham and Jeff, however this time the content is a little bit different. Dec has his special recommendations, we wouldn't change that and we would urge you to catch up with them. Shows like Small Prophets and Lord Of The Flies – a diverse pair, well produced by The BBC and a couple of gems from Apple. To find out what we enthuse over on that streaming channel, you will have to listen to the show. That's our bit of mystery done! But all that is just the Appetiser. We said this was special. For this episode we are looking at the changing landscape of the streaming show. With HBO launching in the UK and the Warners / Paramount deal still dragging all on, what does it mean to you the consumer? Will it be more or less choice and, perhaps more importantly, could it cost you more for less? This fascinating and topical discussion takes in all of those questions. Now, we will admit that we recorded it over a month ago, but in reality little has changed since we spoke . Who said the streaming world moves fast? However, what really surprised us where we ended up and what had not been considered when planning the show. The rise of the short form platforms, like YouTube or TikTok. Indeed, with the success of movies like Obsession and Backrooms, it seems those platforms may, ironically, be a saviour of the cinema. That is something this same team is going to look at in another show in the near future. Until then, we look forward to seeing you, watching these YouTube inspired movies, At The Flicks Bye for now

I welcome Dutch historian Rutger Bregman to the podcast after first messaging him on Instagram and we talk about what I took from his book Humankind and my own wish to bring people together to remember friendship and kindness. Rutger reflects on Dutch directness and equality shaped by living with water, from the 1953 flood to the Delta Works, and shares why he writes for a general audience about big questions of human nature. We discuss his challenge to the “veneer theory” and his belief in “survival of the friendlies,” alongside a real shipwreck story near Tonga where six boys survived 15 months through cooperation. Our conversation turns to bullying, family and attachment, the Second World War and Rutger's research for Moral Ambition on how resistance spreads simply by asking others to help.01:10 Dutch Culture and Directness04:01 Water Engineering and Delta Works05:41 Early Civilizations and Conflict06:58 Why Bregman Writes Big History08:12 Debunking Human Nature Myths10:07 Cooperation at Highclere Today12:49 Tempest and Amoral People13:55 Real Lord of the Flies Story19:00 Bullying Attachment and Family21:41 Victorian Fathers Revisited22:40 Reform Politics And Women23:28 Why Study War24:04 Resistance Myth Debunked25:24 Heroes Are Asked27:29 Unconventional Organizers30:25 Kindness After Loss32:19 Kindness Is Contagious35:03 Lessons From Animals36:18 Veneer Theory And Dickens37:59 British IndirectnessYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

This week, Matt and Jordan flip for the conch to discuss the BBC’s new four-part adaptation of The Lord of the Flies, now streaming on Netflix. The duo dives deep into Jack Thorne’s "cinematic" take on the classic novel, debating the effectiveness of its character-focused structure and its haunting visual palette. For Rec Seg!, they've got Flies-inspired recommendations that range from the whimsical to the harrowing, and in response to listener emails, a deep-cut horror recommendation and an experimental short (that may just scratch that jam-band itch). Plus, Matt faces his fears as Producer Sam takes over as "Dungeon Master" for this week's game, The Streaming Limited, testing the hosts’ knowledge of literary-inspired miniseries.

Victor and Darren discuss Euphoria's growing ratings and polarized backlash, then share recent watches: Victor reviews Netflix's British series Legends (customs workers turned undercover heroin-busters; entertaining but underdeveloped) and a new Netflix Lord of the Flies adaptation (stylized, mixed audience response, richer political allegory but irritating sound design), while Darren recommends BBC's Riot Women (middle-aged women form a punk band; comedy-drama with darker turns). They praise the low-budget stoner sci-fi comedy “Pizza Movie.” They then break down Euphoria episode 5, calling it wildly heightened: Cassie's giantess/50-foot-woman sequence, her Julius Caesar sitcom audition, and her sex-work storyline, which they compare to Margo's Got Money Troubles' more controlled creator-economy portrayal. They highlight Maddy's expanded role—signing Cassie, meeting Rue, and connecting with strip-club boss Alamo—while criticizing Nate and finding Jules' storyline less engaging. They cover Rue's escalating legal/criminal jeopardy (DEA pressure, Laurie, Magic finding drugs, Alamo burying Rue and playing polo with her head), note Bishop's “bad luck” read on Rue, and briefly mention Half Man, Widow's Bay, and upcoming Spider Noir.

Lord of the Flies (2026) The Film Buff Review of a Netflix Masterpiece
You probably read the Lord of the Flies in high school — and now you can watch it on Netflix. It follows a bunch of British schoolboys who get stranded on a deserted island and descend into violent tribalism. Lord of the Flies is made by one of the creators of the Emmy-winning Adolescence, another grim meditation on youth and violence and masculinity.

This week, Julia Turner and Dana Stevens are joined by Slate's own Rebecca Onion to discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2, BEEF season 2, and the NYT's best living songwriters package with Slate's music critic Carl Wilson. Twenty years on, we return to the world of The Devil Wears Prada. In the sequel, Andy, Anne Hathaway's character, must save Runway Magazine from the forces of capital, who are selling the Vogue-analogue for parts, as Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly struggles to hang on to her own power. The movie has a lot to say about the state of journalism and media with plot lines seemingly ripped from the gossip pages, but does it all come together in the edit? We discuss. Then, the second season of A24's anthology series BEEF stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a volatile millennial couple who enter into a feud with a younger couple, played by Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton. Set at a rich Californian golf resort and its environs, the show satirizes class and generational resentments as the characters scramble to claim the scraps of their betters at the expense of everyone else. The characters are mostly unlikeable, and the premise might be a little less original than the first season, but given BEEF's stacked cast and pedigree, does the show sizzle? Finally we're joined by Carl Wilson, Slate's music critic and author of the newsletter “Crritic!” to discuss the New York Times package: The 30 Greatest Living Songwriters. Carl submitted a ballot for the list, and the polished version isn't too far from his submission. He gets into his picks and discusses what the list is saying about the field of songwriting and the idea of a songwriter as it's been expanded to include non-traditional instrumentation and digital composition. But like all lists it has sparked debate about the inclusions (Carole King, Stevie Wonder) the exclusions (Randy Newman, Liz Phair, David Byrne) and whether Taylor Swift's inclusion was solely to get an interview. Together with Carl, we try and make sense of the list and talk about our favorites. As promised, here is Carl's full ballot (The asterisks indicate people who Carl voted for but who have since died):Willie NelsonSmokey Robinson Bobby Braddock *Brian WilsonBob DylanCarole KingRandy NewmanDolly PartonStevie Wonder*Sly StoneThe Flatlanders (Butch Hancock/Jimmie Dale Gilmore/*Joe Ely)Tom Waits & Kathleen BrennanNile RodgersDavid ByrneMark EitzelChuck D & the Bomb SquadJimmy Jam & Terry LewisStephin MerrittLiz PhairJohn Darnielle (The Mountain Goats)Missy Elliott & TimbalandThe Love Junkies (Hillary Lindsey/Lori McKenna/Liz Rose)Outkast (Big Boi/Andre 3000)Josh Osborne/Brandy Clark/Shane McAnallyPhoebe BridgersEndorsements: Julia: The SNL sketch featuring Teana Taylor, Grandpa At The Wedding.Rebecca: The new Lord Of The Flies adaptation on Netflix.

Matt and Jordan see if Netflix’s massive rom-com hit People We Meet on Vacation (starring "generational talent" Emily Bader) lives up to its 50-million-stream hype. Does the film successfully invert the When Harry Met Sally formula, or is it just a beautiful travelogue hampered by a "charisma vacuum"? Later, Jordan recommends an under-seen 2023 indie mafia drama, and Matt invites us to fall in love with a 1963 French New Wave short. Plus, a pair of listener-requested recommendations inspired by 1975's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Finally, Producer Sam challenges Jordan’s 3-0 winning streak in a high-stakes game of "Full Service." (Timecodes/chapters may not be precise with ads.)
