Jeremy Strong ("Succession"), Gillian Anderson ("Sex Education", "The X-Files"), Daniel Brühl ("Rush", "Inglourious Basterds"), and August Diehl ("A Hidden Life") are set to star in the upcoming Netflix thriller series "The Boyd From Brazil" based on the novel of the same name by Ira Levin. The book was previously adapted into an Oscar-nominated 1978 film of the same name that starred Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier.
Here is the official synopsis: "Set across three decades from the immediate aftermath of WW2 through the political turbulence of the 1970s, ‘The Boys from Brazil’ follows Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter Yakov Liebermann (Strong), in his lifelong crusade to bring Nazi fugitives to justice, a crusade that has cost him nearly everything.When one of his young protégées undercover in Brazil learns of a shocking Nazi plan, Liebermann is in a race against time to expose an unimaginable truth: Doctor Johann-Friedrich Meinhardt (Diehl), a sadistic Nazi scientist he believed long dead, is alive and orchestrating a diabolical project to spark the rise of a Fourth Reich.".
The cast also includes Lizzy Caplan and Shira Haas. Brühl stars as Von Harteneck, while Anderson will play Frieda Steiner. Haas stars as Anna Koehler and Caplan stars as Hannah Liebermann.
Netflix has ordered five one-hour episodes. Production will begin in December in the UK, Germany, Bulgaria and Spain. The adaptation is penned by Peter Morgan ("The Crown"), who also executive produces alongside Suzanne Mackie for Orchid Pictures and Simon Heath for World Productions, part of ITV Studios, as well as Alex Gabassi, who will also direct. Oona O'Beirn and Andy Stebbing are producers.
Orchid Pictures' Suzanne Mackie said the following in a statement: "Building on his extraordinary work with 'The Crown', Peter continues to examine the political and emotional forces which, through the 20th century, have moulded the world we live in today. That he does so via the intimate human stories within the sweep of history makes his storytelling powerfully relatable. We're thrilled to have assembled such an exceptional team, both in front of and behind the camera and to be working with the super-talented director, Alex Gabassi again for this new limited series for Netflix. We can't wait to bring Peter Morgan's bold reimagining of Ira Levin's 'The Boys from Brazil' to the screen."
