ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE

A Beacon of Light in the Darkest of Times STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Anthony Doerr and directed by Shawn Levy, ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE follows the story of Marie-Laure (Aria Mia Loberti), a French girl who is blind and her father, Daniel LeBlanc (Mark Ruffalo), who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into Nazi hands. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle (Hugh Laurie) who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner (Louis Hofmann), a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner over the course of a decade, the story is one of the extraordinary power of human connection, a beacon of light that can lead us through even the darkest of times. CAST & CREW: Aria Mia Loberti (Marie-Laure LeBlanc), Louis Hofmann (Werner Pfennig), Lars Eidinger (Reinhold von Rumpel), Marion Bailey (Madame Manec), Nell Sutton (Young Marie-Laure), with Hugh Laurie (Etienne LeBlanc), and Mark Ruffalo (Daniel LeBlanc). PRODUCTION / DISTRIBUTION: ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE is EXECUTIVE PRODUCED by Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Steven Knight and is PRODUCED BY 21 Laps Entertainment.

“BASS REEVES WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN WHO LIVED AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE AT AN EXTRAORDINARY TIME IN AMERICA’S HISTORY.

He was enslaved. He went on to fight in the Civil War. He escaped enslavement during that time and lived with Native Americans for a number of years, where he learned a bunch of skills that became applicable when he went on to be a deputy marshal. He had a career that spanned nearly 40 years in law enforcement. And when you contextualize that life with these seminal moments in American history – of slavery, Reconstruction, going into Jim Crow – to have that level of success and notoriety as a lawman is just extraordinary.” DAVID OYELOWO, ACTOR AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER*

POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN

Set in South Jamaica, Queens, in 1991, “Raising Kanan” is a prequel to the original “Power” franchise. This family drama revolves around the coming of age of Kanan Stark, a cocaine distributor with an emerging network of dealers across NYC. STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: Over the last two seasons of “Raising Kanan,” Kanan Stark (Mekai Curtis) has slowly learned the truth about not only his mother, Raq (Patina Miller), discovering more about himself in the process. It has been a tortuous journey for him and everyone around him. With each new revelation, Kanan has been forced to confront his family’s seemingly never-ending web of secrets and lies. In season three, Kanan finds himself grappling with the very notions of right and wrong. Good and evil. Fidelity and disloyalty. And he’s not alone. Every member of the Thomas family must confront an existential crisis that challenges their very identity. Whether it’s Marvin, who’s still trying to redeem himself, or Raq, who’s finally coming clean, or Lou, who’s wrestling with his own evil, or Jukebox, who’s simply trying to break free from her family’s pathology, they are all attempting to redefine and reinvent themselves. They won’t all be able to complete this intensely personal quest, but for those who do, the destination may reveal the most terrifying secret of all. There is no right and wrong or good and evil. There are no absolutes. In the end, there’s just you.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: WHAT WE DO IN tHE SHADOWS, based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), and their vampire bureaucrat acquaintance, The Guide (Kristen Schaal). This season, Nandor feels his familiar (and sometimes friend) Guillermo slipping away as he seems to be spending much more time with Laszlo, whose skills as a gentleman scientist are put to the test as he tries to solve the mystery of the strange and very secret changes Guillermo is going through. Nadja, suffering the effects of a previously-undiagnosed supernatural hex, reconnects with her family — or at least, a family — from the Old Country, Colin pursues the path of so many energy vampires before him by running for political office and The Guide tries to figure out where she fits in as the relative newcomer to this tightly-knit group who’ve known each other for centuries.

YELLOWJACKETS

STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
