Netflix to Adapt Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ into Limited Series

In 2023, one of the most critically praised books published in recent years, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, will make its way onto the big screen thanks to the efforts of Netflix, which is adapting the story. The four-part limited series adaptation of the novel awarded the Pulitzer Prize will be available to stream on the site.

Shawn Levy, who has much experience working at Netflix, is the creative power behind this project. While directing episodes of Stranger Things and The Adam Project (he was also the director of Free Guy), Levy has been responsible for producing critically acclaimed Netflix series such as Shadow and Bone and Stranger Things. He will again serve in both positions for All the Light We Cannot See. He will direct all four episodes of the limited series and collaborate with Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Great Expectations) on the program’s development.

All the Light We Cannot See will be one of the most talked about television episodes of the fall season, given the accolades the book received and the pedigree of those participating in the production. So, to keep up with it, here is everything we know about it.
