Netflix is racing against the sun in Into the Night, its new Belgian series.

The thriller begins with a sudden solar event, as the sun inexplicably starts killing everything in its path. The show centres on 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.

In a race against the sun, there’s no time for niceties. Survive together or crash together, those are the only options. Directed by Inti Calfat and Dirk Verheye, the series premieres on 1st May.

Here’s the trailer:

 

Into the Night is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
