Last Light trailer reveals Matthew Fox in a world in crisis

What if the world’s oil supply became severed, not because of a natural disaster, but due to a deliberate attack on the valuable resource? That doomsday scenario is the basis for Last Light, the new apocalyptic thriller from Peacock. Based on Alex Scarrow’s best-selling novel of the same nameLast Light follows one family’s fight to survive in a world that’s gone into disarray. As the trailer states, “When darkness falls, hope rises.”

Matthew Fox stars as Andy, an oil engineer who understands the world’s dependency on oil. When someone or something tampers with the oil supply, it leads to massive power outages in England, Germany, France, and Spain. As the world faces an energy crisis, Andy sets out to find his wife and son, who suffers from a degenerative eye disease, in Paris as well as his daughter in London. The official trailer amplifies the catastrophe as Andy seeks out the truth in order to save not only his family, but the world.
