streaming, the action-thriller (which Fox also produces) is a dystopian story set in a world where a disruption to the petroleum supply chain sparks a global crisis.Fox, 56, stars as Andy Yeats, an American chemist who lives in London with his wife Elena (Joanne Froggatt, “Downton Abbey”), their 8- year-old son Sam (Taylor Fay) — who’s losing his vision — and college-aged climate activist daughter Laura (Alyth Ross), who’s scornful of her dad’s work (since it involves the fossil fuel industry).When the family is about to go to Paris for Sam’s experimental eye surgery, Andy’s work calls him away him to deal with an oil-related emergency in Luzrah (a fictional place in the Middle East). This angers Elena — who thinks he’s prioritizing work over family — and Laura (because of her principles).As power grids shut down all over Europe and social unrest breaks out, the family scatters to the wind, with Andy in Luzrah, his wife and son in France and his daughter still in England.
Matthew Fox Reveals Why He Returned to Acting After 7 Years for 'Last Light'

Matthew Fox is acting again!
The 56-year-old star is returning to television for the first time since his TV series Lost ended in 2010.
In Peacock‘s new limited series Last Light, Matthew plays petro-chemist Andy Yeats, who is fighting to save the world from an apocalyptic oil crisis.
And now, he’s revealing his reasoning for why he’s back to the acting world.
“On a personal level, I wanted to executive produce for the first time in my career,” he told E! News.
“I had completed a bucket list of projects that I wanted to do in 2014 and I felt like I had accomplished what I set out to accomplish and was gonna focus my energies on other things. The notion that I’d never executive produced was still sort of there and this project was going to give me the opportunity to do that with my managerial partner Bill Choi, who’s my manager, but also more importantly a very good friend. We wanted the opportunity to collaborate together and to work on more creative elements rather than sort of logistics.”
He also opened up about the plot of the new show.
“I was really drawn to this notion of this family—family is incredibly important to me, I think it’s important to all of us. It’s such a common denominator to the human species. I feel like I was really drawn to that. I wanted this family to survive and to be reunited and to have grown from the experience, and yet we have this backdrop of a world in which it’s clear that our reliance on fossil fuels has got to change.”
