What is Lord of the Flies about?
When a plane crash strands a group of British schoolboys on a remote island, civilization's thin veneer cracks under hunger, fear, and the seductive logic of violence. Jack Thorne's Netflix adaptation reframes William Golding's classic with contemporary casting and a visual language that treats the island as both paradise and courtroom.

Critic Reviews
Lord of the Flies (2026) Review: Serious but Familiar
★★★½☆
Lord of the Flies (2026) is Jack Thorne's limited-series take on Golding's novel: handsome and thoughtful, though never free of a story everyone already knows.
Yes, with reservations. It is a serious, well-made retelling that suits readers, students and teachers of the novel more than viewers hoping for a fresh surprise.
