The viewer may anticipate stunning cinematography of the Middle East’s enormous desert. The show was filmed in Prague, Paris, and Abu Dhabi. There will be five episodes, each of which will last 45 minutes.
Dennie Gordon, the director, said in a statement:
“I am delighted to be able to share my work with you all. This project has been a career highlight for me; the opportunity to create an important narrative with an international cast of actors and artists, MGM International Television Productions, and Peacock, a studio and streaming service that has given me incredible creative freedom.”
He went on to say:
“I was highly inspired by Alfonso Cuarón’s magnificent film Children of Men, a scenario we can see just around the bend, and we intend to offer our viewers a glimmer of hope at the conclusion; what is possible if we all work together to effect change? I believe you will identify with Andy Yeats and his family, and we hope that this series will spark debates about our reliance on oil and how we will cope with climate change.”
Last Light will be available on Peacock on Thursday, September 8.
