‘Lord of the Flies’ Cast Guide & Actor Ages Revealed for 2026 Netflix TV Show

Netflix’s TV series adaptation of Lord of the Flies has been released and it’s time to learn more about the young cast of the show.

This marks the first television adaptation of William Golding‘s iconic novel and it was written by Emmy winner Jack Thorne, who co-created Adolescence. Marc Munden directs the four-part series.

“As a society, we’re having a conversation right now about boys. We’re losing a generation of boys, and we’re losing it because of the hate they are ingesting — because it is an answer to their loneliness and isolation,” the creator said in a statement to Tudum.

Re-reading the book, he was struck by the “tender portrait” of “very complicated boys having a complicated relationship with their status and anger.”

Here is the official logline: “Innocence descends into savagery when a group of English schoolboys becomes desert island castaways in the first television adaptation of William Golding’s landmark dystopian classic.”
