National Geographic's A Small Light continues tonight with another two episodes.
TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at what's ahead, and it looks like things are going from bad to worse for Otto Frank (Liev Schreiber).
In the clip, we see Miep (Bel Powley) speak to Otto about recent events and how things might change very soon.
Otto is worried about the Nsb officer snooping around, but Miep tries to calm him down.
With his back pushed against the wall, Otto ponders what will happen next.
It's an excellent look at the series and how Miep tries to help Otto by making him realize that he's a wonderful father and has made the right decisions.
Based on an inspiring true story, Miep Gies (Bel Powley) was young, carefree and opinionated — at a time when opinions got you killed ― when Otto Frank (Liev Schreiber) asked her to help hide his...

National Geographic has released the trailer from the upcoming eight-part limited series ‘A Small Light’. The powerful series, produced by ABC Signature and Keshet Studios, will stream on Disney+ in the U.K. on 2 May.
Based on an inspiring true story, Miep Gies (Bel Powley) was young, carefree and opinionated — at a time when opinions got you killed ― when Otto Frank (Liev Schreiber) asked her to help hide his family from the Nazis during WWII. Without hesitation, Miep agreed. For the next two years, she and her daring and devoted husband, Jan (Joe Cole), with several other everyday heroes, watched over the Frank, van Pels and Pfeffer families hiding in the secret annexe.
Told with a modern sensibility, the series shakes the cobwebs of history and makes Miep’s story feel relevant, forcing audiences to ask themselves what they would have done in Miep’s shoes; and in modern times,...

“A Small Light,” Nat Geo’s upcoming dramatic limited series, tells the story of Miep Gies, best known to history as the Dutch woman who, along with her husband Jan, hid the family of Anne Frank during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.
The series, which premieres May 1, tells Miep’s story during the darkest days of the war as she and her husband become increasingly desperate under Nazi occupation. But when asked by her employer, Otto Frank, for help hiding his family from the death squads, she agrees unflinchingly. See for yourself in the trailer right now at the top of the page.
For 2 years the Miep and Jan hid the Franks as well as 4 members of the Pfeffer family — until they were betrayed and the Franks and Pfeffers, arrested by the Nazi police, were taken to various concentration camps. The Gies evaded arrest and execution by almost pure luck,...

Since the enormous popularity surrounding Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe has never waned in the seven decades since they both rocketed to superstardom, it’s no wonder that Austin Butler and Ana de Armas sailed to Oscar nominations for portraying them in the 2022 films “Elvis” and “Blonde.” What is odd, however, is that the respective Best Actor and Best Actress hopefuls are the only ones nominated in any of this year’s acting categories for playing real people. While this 90 percent fictional character rate is far from unprecedented, it does stand in stark contrast to the preceding decade’s average of 59 percent and thus raises questions as to why academy voters chose to veer in the opposite direction.
The last instance of two or fewer portrayals of real people leading to Oscar nominations in the same year involved 2003 Best Actress champ Charlize Theron, whose “Monster” character, Aileen Wuornos, stood completely...

Scarlett Johansson has never been nominated for an Oscar, not even for 2003’s “Lost in Translation,” Sofia Coppola‘s riff on her own failed marriage to fellow filmmaker Spike Jonze. In Netflix’s “Marriage Story,” Johansson similarly is caught up in a film about another director’s marial situation gone bad — namely, director Noah Baumbach‘s failed marriage to actress Jennifer Jason Leigh.
It’s one thing to be suffocating in a relationship with priorities that lean in the direction of self-absorbed, unfaithful New York City theater director-husband (Adam Driver) — as is the case when it comes to Scarlett Johansson‘s actress and muse Nicole. But when she gets a chance to star in a TV pilot in Los Angeles and revive her career beyond her spouse’s stage productions, she decides to pursue a divorce. Yes, it puts her young son in the terrible spot of being a pawn in a broken union,...
