Miniseries
Are you ready for a moral reckoning?
Creator of The Crown, Peter Morgan, is bringing Ira Levin’s 1976 classic novel, The Boys from Brazil, to the screen. The limited series tells a tale of 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?
The five-part adaptation will star Jeremy Strong, August Diehl, Daniel Brühl, and Gillian Anderson. Shira Haas and Lizzy Caplan also star.
Set across three decades, from the immediate aftermath of World War II through the political turbulence of the 1970s, The Boys from Brazil 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.
When one of his young protégées working undercover in Brazil learns of a shocking Nazi plan, Liebermann is in a race against time to expose an unimaginable truth: Doctor Johann-Friedrich Meinhardt, a sadistic Nazi scientist believed to be long-dead, is alive and orchestrating a diabolical project to spark the rise of a Fourth Reich.
