Into the Night

Into the Night is an upcoming Netflix Original set to premiere in 2020. The series is inspired by Jacek Dukaj's novel The Old Axolotl. When the sun suddenly starts killing everything in its path, passengers on an overnight flight from Brussels attempt to survive by any means necessary.

Summary
Into the Night begins with a sudden solar event, as the sun inexplicably starts killing everything in its path. The show centers around the "lucky" passengers and crew of an overnight flight out of Brussels, as they attempt to fly west — into the safety of the dark night. The plane's manifest is multinational and multilingual, with passengers, rich and poor, young and old, civilian and military. The seemingly ordinary travelers share but one thing: A desire to survive the sun — and each other — by any means necessary.
