She cannot remember what happened and believes the shadows that have tormented her since childhood were responsible. She is sent to Sword & Cross, a hermetically sealed correctional and rehabilitation facility with strict and partly inscrutable rules, to serve her sentence.<sup>[2](https://gshow.globo.com/google/amp/globoplay/noticia/baseada-na-serie-de-livros-de-lauren-kate-fallen-luz-e-sombra-estreia-no-globoplay.ghtml)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://www.sky.de/serien/fallen)</sup>\n\nAmong the residents she meets Daniel (Gijs Blom), with whom she feels an inexplicable connection that seems to reach far beyond her time in the institution, and the provocative Cam (Timothy Innes). The facility is run by the sinister chief doctor Clifford Howson ([Alexander Siddig](https://www.edgepedia.org/alexander-siddig)) and administered by the twin sisters Miriam and Sophia ([Sarah Niles](https://www.edgepedia.org/sarah-niles)), identical in appearance but contrasting in personality. With allies inside the clinic, including Penn (Esmé Kingdom), an assistant and daughter of the former caretaker, Luce tries to piece together her past, uncover her link to Daniel, and reveal the dark forces surrounding the institution.<sup>[2](https://gshow.globo.com/google/amp/globoplay/noticia/baseada-na-serie-de-livros-de-lauren-kate-fallen-luz-e-sombra-estreia-no-globoplay.ghtml)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://tva.onscreenasia.com/2022/09/silver-reel-and-night-train-medias-supernatural-series-fallen-begins-production/)</sup>\n\nThe distributor Night Train Media frames the story as that of a young woman who, unknown to herself, is the Angel of Love, discovering her true strength and the power she wields.<sup>[9](https://nighttrainmedia.com/titles/fallen)</sup> Episode summaries show the season's arc: Luce uncovers Howson's control over residents' memories, learns of an ancient creature called an Outcast that attacks her, discovers that Daniel has not aged in over twenty years, and finds the body of another Lucinda Price before a betrayal and a final deadly showdown.<sup>[1](https://www.amcplus.com/shows/fallen--1071618)</sup>\n\n## Production\n\n[Principal photography](https://www.edgepedia.org/principal-photography) on the eight one-hour episodes began by September 2022. The series was created by Claudia Bluemhuber of Silver Reel and directed by Matt Hastings, whose credits include *The Handmaid's Tale* and *Shadowhunters*. The scripts are by Rachel Paterson (*Domina*) and Roland Moore (*Humans*), who also co-executive produced. Herbert L. Kloiber joined Bluemhuber and Hastings as executive producers, and Globoplay, Brazil's largest video streaming platform, joined as coproducer.<sup>[3](https://tva.onscreenasia.com/2022/09/silver-reel-and-night-train-medias-supernatural-series-fallen-begins-production/)</sup>\n\nThe cast announced at that stage also included Emmy-nominated Sarah Niles (*Ted Lasso*, *I May Destroy You*), Jessica Alexander (*Get Even*, *The Little Mermaid*), Gijs Blom (*The Letter for the King*), and Timothy Innes (*The Last Kingdom*), with Josefine Koenig, Esme Kingdom, Maura Bird, Lawrence Walker, Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness, Samantha Bell, Julian Krenn, Laura Majid, and Courtney Chen in the supporting ensemble.<sup>[3](https://tva.onscreenasia.com/2022/09/silver-reel-and-night-train-medias-supernatural-series-fallen-begins-production/)</sup> Crew United lists the production period as 2022 to 2024 and additional production companies including Silver Reel Partners AG and Night Train Media GmbH & Co.<sup>[10](https://www.crew-united.com/en/Fallen__334166.html)</sup>\n\n## Release and distribution\n\nThe series rolled out internationally in 2024. TV Tango records a premiere on Globoplay on August 12, 2024,<sup>[4](https://www.tvtango.com/series/fallen_2024)</sup> while Globo's own announcement placed the Brazilian launch on October 17, 2024, exclusively on Globoplay.<sup>[2](https://gshow.globo.com/google/amp/globoplay/noticia/baseada-na-serie-de-livros-de-lauren-kate-fallen-luz-e-sombra-estreia-no-globoplay.ghtml)</sup> In Germany it ran on [Sky Atlantic](https://www.edgepedia.org/sky-atlantic), which aired two episodes each Monday evening, with all episodes available on demand through the Entertainment Plus package.<sup>[8](https://www.sky.de/serien/fallen)</sup>\n\n**United States.** The series reached American viewers through AMC+ and Sundance Now, with a trailer announcing a February 6, 2025 premiere; AMC aired the U.S. linear television debut as a sneak peek on March 2, 2025.<sup>[5](https://www.tomsguide.com/entertainment/streaming/watch-fallen-free)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://www.tvtango.com/series/fallen_2024)</sup> AMC released episodes weekly rather than as a full-season drop, and the season later became available on Philo, Spectrum On Demand, The Roku Channel (free with ads), and for digital purchase.<sup>[11](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/fallen-2024)</sup>\n\n**United Kingdom.** ITV's streaming service ITVX acquired the UK rights from Silver Reel in 2026, and the full eight-episode box set became available there from Sunday, May 3, 2026, with free ad-supported viewing.<sup>[6](https://www.c21media.net/news/itvx-acquires-uk-rights-to-globoplays-fantasy-romantic-drama-fallen-from-silver-reel/XXX/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.tomsguide.com/entertainment/streaming/watch-fallen-free)</sup> Eccho Rights handled international sales, reporting deals from January 2025.<sup>[12](https://ecchorights.com/articles/show/eccho-rights-seals-international-sales-for-fallen-1737112773)</sup>\n\n## Reception and recognition\n\nAt the 2025 International Emmy awards, *Fallen – Luz e Sombra* was among Globo's four nominations.<sup>[7](https://gshow.globo.com/globoplay/noticia/fallen-luz-e-sombra-coproducao-internacional-do-globoplay-e-indicada-ao-emmy.ghtml)</sup> Audience ratings on aggregator sites have been mixed: AdoroCinema users gave the Brazilian release 3.6 out of 5 from 59 ratings,<sup>[13](https://www.adorocinema.com/series/serie-32770/)</sup> while [JustWatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/justwatch) records an IMDb score of 6.5 from about 3,400 votes.<sup>[11](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/fallen-2024)</sup>\n\n## Relation to the 2016 film\n\nThe novels had already been adapted once as a feature film: a 2016 movie version of the first book, which German broadcaster Sky describes as having done Kate's epic story little justice.<sup>[8](https://www.sky.de/serien/fallen)</sup> Commentators have treated the television series as a second chance for the franchise, an eight-part retelling that leans harder into psychological mystery and dark fantasy than the two-hour film did.<sup>[5](https://www.tomsguide.com/entertainment/streaming/watch-fallen-free)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
