Netflix will soon release the special new war series All the Light We Cannot See (2023). The story is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Anthony Doerr. Netflix just shared the long-awaited trailer for the series created by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, among others.

Illegal radio broadcast

The series tells the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. On the run from a ruthless Gestapo officer who wants the diamond for his own selfish purposes, Marie-Laure and Daniel find a hideout in St. Marlo. They stay with a reclusive uncle who broadcasts clandestine radio as part of the resistance.

But here in this once idyllic coastal city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the most unlikely kindred spirit: Werner, a brilliant teenager employed by the Hitler regime to track down illegal broadcasts. Together they share a secret bond that will become a beacon of light guiding them through the harrowing backdrop of World War II.
