After six seasons chronicling real-life history in The Crown, Peter Morgan’s next series for Netflix will delve into an alternate history.
The streamer has formally greenlit The Boys From Brazil, a limited series based on Ira Levin’s 1976 novel. Jeremy Strong (Succession, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere) will star as Nazi hunter Yakov Liebermann, who learns that Dr. Josef Mengele, the notorious “Angel of Death” at the Auschwitz concentration camp, is plotting to revive the Third Reich. The project has been in development since February, with Strong attached.
August Diehl, Daniel Brühl, Gillian Anderson, Shira Haas and Lizzy Caplan will also star. Alex Gabassi (The Crown, Black Doves) is set to direct. Filming is set to begin in December in the U.K., Bulgaria and Spain.
“Building on his extraordinary work with The Crown, Peter continues to examine the political and emotional forces which, through the 20th century, have molded the world we live in today,” said Suzanne Mackie, executive producer and founder of Orchid Pictures, which is producing the series with World Productions, part of ITV Studios. “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.”
The Boys From Brazil was previously adapted into a 1978 feature film that starred Laurence Olivier as Liebermann and Gregory Peck as Mengele. It was nominated for three Oscars, including for Olivier’s lead role.
Morgan will executive produce with Mackie and Simon Heath of World Productions. Oona O’Beirn and Andy Stebbing, who worked with Morgan on The Crown, are producing.
