\n\tPart historical thriller part moral reckoning, The Boys from Brazil is a five-part limited series (hour-long episodes) about obsession, vengeance and the terrifying persistence of hatred. It asks: When the world chooses to forget its darkest history, who will fight to keep the memory and the justice alive?<\/p>\n

\n\tSet across three decades from the immediate aftermath of World War II through the political turbulence of the 1970s, the series follows Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter Yakov Liebermann in his lifelong crusade to bring Nazi fugitives to justice, a crusade that has cost him nearly everything.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen one of his young prot\u00e9g\u00e9es, undercover in Brazil, learns of a shocking Nazi plan, Liebermann is in a race against time to expose an unimaginable truth: Meinhardt, a sadistic Nazi scientist he believed long dead, is alive and orchestrating a diabolical project to spark the rise of a Fourth Reich.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBuilding 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. That he does so via the intimate human stories within the sweep of history makes his storytelling powerfully relatable,\u201d said executive producer Suzanne Mackie, who founded Orchid Pictures.<\/p>\n

\n\tLevin\u2019s novel was adapted for the big screen in 1978 by Heywood Gould and was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. The film, starring Laurence Olivier as Ezra\u00a0Liebermann and Gregory Peck as Dr. Josef Mengele, received five Academy Award nominations. The feature also starred Steve Guttenberg, James Mason, Lilli Palmer and Uta Hagen.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Boys From Brazil is executive produced by Mackie for Orchid Pictures, Simon Heath (Line of Duty, Save Me) for World Productions, and Alex Gabassi (The Crown, Black Doves) who will also direct. Additionally, The Crown alumni Oona O Beirn and Andy Stebbing are producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix is officially moving forward with the limited series reimagination of Ira Levin\u2019s novel The Boys From Brazil,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140083,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[86733,86734,146,44239,85,46,59784,86735,400,86736,86737,86738],"class_list":{"0":"post-140082","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-august-diehl","9":"tag-daniel-bru00fchl","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-gillian-anderson","12":"tag-il","13":"tag-israel","14":"tag-jeremy-strong","15":"tag-lizzy-caplan","16":"tag-netflix","17":"tag-peter-morgan","18":"tag-shira-haas","19":"tag-the-boys-from-brazil"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
