Netflix’s new six-part miniseries, “The Bombing of Pan Am 103,” focuses on the 1988 terrorist attack over Lockerbie, Scotland, and the years that follow. Across coverage, outlets describe the series as centered on both the aftermath and the investigation that seeks to find answers, positioning the story through perspectives connected to the tragedy.
The cast includes Connor Swindells and Patrick J. Adams, alongside Merritt Wever, with additional ensemble performers mentioned by outlets including Peter Mullan. One outlet highlights that the series draws on research and interviews with people affected by the bombing, while another characterizes the production as a sensitive drama that remains restrained in its approach.
Both sources describe the series as an investigation-focused narrative rather than a purely event-based retelling, emphasizing how the attack’s consequences unfold over time. The miniseries is presented as an attempt to depict not only the moment of the attack, but also the subsequent efforts to understand what happened and why.
