Emmy-Winning Creator Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Lord of the Flies) Interview

I sat down with Jack Thorne, the Emmy-winning creator and writer of HBO’s His Dark Materials and Netflix’s Adolescence, to discuss his latest show, Netflix’s Lord of the Flies. Synopsis: A plane crash strands a group of British boys on an unoccupied tropical island, where they gradually slide into anarchy as social conventions disappear and attempts at responsible rule divide them into warring factions. In this interview, Thorne gives a masterclass in adapting iconic material. And how he conceived, executed, and realized his own childhood vision of making Lord of the Flies a reality. Here is the trailer: Now streaming.
