DreamWorks, renowned for its timeless animated characters and successful franchises, continues its legacy with the upcoming release of “Orion and the Dark” on Netflix. In his directorial debut, Sean Charmatz explores the theme of overcoming fears, particularly anxiety, through the story written by Charlie Kaufman, based on Emma Yarlett’s children’s book.

The film features Jacob Tremblay as Orion, a typical elementary school student harboring a significant secret—he is afraid of everything, especially the dark. Confronted by the embodiment of darkness, aptly named “The Dark,” portrayed by Paul Walter Hauser, Orion embarks on a journey to overcome his fears. The plot introduces various magical beings representing elements of the night, including Sweet Dreams, Sleep, Unexplained Noises, Insomnia, and Quiet.
