Volker Bertelmann (aka Hauschka) (Lion, Adrift, Hotel Mumbai, Patrick Melrose, Stowaway, The Old Guard, Your Honor) is scoring the upcoming Peacock limited series Last Light. The show is directed by Dennie Gordon (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) and stars Matthew Fox, Joanne Froggatt, Alyth Ross, Amber Rose Revah, Taylor Fay, Victor Alli, Tom Wlaschiha and Hakeem Jomah. The 5-part drama is based on Alex Scarrow’s bestselling novel of the same name and tells the story of a family fighting to survive in a world that has been suddenly thrown into chaos. Gordon & Fox are also executive producing the MGM International Television production with John Zinman & Patrick Massett (Gold), William Choi, Sydney Gallonde, Rikke Ennis (Trom), Patrick Renault and Diego Piasek. Last Light will premiere on September 8, 2022 on Peacock.
