Lord of the Flies (Season 1)

Lord of the Flies (2026) is a British drama series directed by Mark Munden, adapted from William Golding's 1954 novel — watch all episodes online on iFILM. A plane goes down. A group of schoolboys wash up on a tropical island. No adults. No rescue in sight.

Ralph (Winston Sawyers) gets elected leader; Piggy (David McKenna) supplies the logic. Jack is supposed to keep the signal fire burning, but he's more interested in hunting — and in taking charge. The rules the boys set for themselves start fraying, then breaking, one episode at a time. The series has the space to let that unravelling happen slowly, which the two theatrical films never quite managed.

Golding's novel has been filmed twice before — Peter Brook's 1963 version and the 1990 American adaptation. This television treatment goes back to the source and stays close to it. What the boys lose on that island is specific and terrible. Stream Lord of the Flies (2026) on iFILM.
