All The Light We Cannot See: Louis Hofmann, Lars Eidinger And Nell Sutton In The Cast Of The Netflix Series

Louis Hofmann, Lars Eidinger and Nell Sutton have joined the cast of All The Light We Cannot See, which already included Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie. The new Netflix limited series is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Anthony Doerr, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. The novel tells the story of a blind French girl who meets a German soldier during World War II. All the Light We Cannot See will consist of four episodes, all written by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) and directed by Shawn Levy (Stranger Things).

The Dark star Louis Offman will play the male lead Werner Pfennig, a young German soldier who has a strong moral component but becomes embroiled in the brutality of war. Eidinger will play the story’s chief antagonist, Sergeant Major Reinhold von Rumpel, a cruel, terminally ill Nazi officer who is obsessively hunting down a legendary diamond that is said to provide anyone who owns it with eternal life. In her truly blind Sutton, she will make her acting debut as the young Marie-Laure, the younger version of the French girl.
