The Cast of 'All the Light We Cannot See': Your Guide

Aria Mia Loberti as Marie-Laure in episode 101 of All the Light We Cannot See.

Netflix's latest historical drama is a story of perseverance and community among the dark days of World War II. All the Light We Cannot See, the streaming giant's adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by the same name, takes place primarily in the French seaside town of Saint-Malo, where a young legally blind woman named Marie-Laure LeBlanc (Aria Mia Loberti) broadcasts a radio show despite such programs being forbidden. As the series unfurls her life in Nazi-occupied France, the series also follows Werner Pfenning (Louis Hoffman), a young German soldier who's tasked with tracking down illegal broadcasts. As American soldiers began their operation to liberate Saint-Malo, Marie and Werner's fates become intertwined via an unknown connection as well as a shared faith in humanity.

To bring the beloved novel to life, director Shawn Levy (of Stranger Things fame) gathered an international cast of both acclaimed, prolific actors and rising newcomers, led by Loberti making her screen debut. Read on to meet the stacked cast of All the Light We Cannot See.
