Variety

The Lost and Party of Five alum has signed on to co-star with Downton Abbey's Joanne Froggatt in Last Light, a five-part action-packed thriller miniseries adapted from Alex Scarrow’s bestselling novel. Last Light will mark Fox's first TV role since Lost ended in 2010. Since Lost, Fox has appeared in five films -- the last of which, Bone Tomahak, was released in 2015. According to Variety, "Last Light is set to start shooting on Sept. 25 across multiple international locations, including Prague. The dystopian miniseries centers around a family whose lives are changed forever when oil supplies get contaminated by an infectious agent, causing society to implode in the face of global disaster. The cast will include several up-and-coming actors." Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Friday Night Lights veterans John Zinman and Patrick Massett will write the series. “Last Light is the perfect combination of an action-packed limited series with a compelling family drama at its heart,” said Lisa Katz, president of scripted content for NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “Led by fan favorites Matthew Fox and Joanne Froggatt, this sweeping international saga spans several continents that provide a stunning global backdrop, yet is grounded in a relatable and topical story. We can’t wait to share this with Peacock audiences.”
