Into the Night (TV series)

**Into the Night** is a Belgian apocalyptic sci-fi drama thriller web television series created by Jason George, inspired by the 2015 Polish science fiction novel *The Old Axolotl* by Jacek Dukaj.

## Synopsis

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.
