Brand new Sky Max drama series The Lost Symbol arrives this November, based on Dan Brown’s international bestselling thriller, itself a prequel to The Da Vinci Code.

The 10-parter, which stars the likes of Ashley Zukerman, Valorie Curry, and Eddie Izzard, debuted across the Atlantic earlier this year on Peacock.

From the trailer, it seems that the drama’s central mystery focuses on an ancient secret buried beneath the United States Capitol, and a puzzle which only a young Robert Langdon (the character played by Tom Hanks in the film series) can solve.

According to the official synopsis from Sky, the series “follows the early adventures of young Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who must solve a series of deadly puzzles to save his kidnapped mentor and thwart a chilling global conspiracy”.
