America Ferrera and Matthew McConaughey must lead a busload of schoolchildren through a deadly wildfire
The Lost Bus
NEW Available: Friday 3 October Genre: Action drama
On 8 November 2018, a faulty power line sparked the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history, reducing the town of Paradise to ashes and resulting in 85 deaths.
Yet amid the tragedy, stories of heroism emerged. Among them, how two strangers - bus driver Kevin McKay and teacher Mary Ludwig - were thrown together, risking their lives to guide more than 20 children on a school bus through the raging inferno to safety.
Now, the stirring tale has been turned into an Apple TV+ action movie, The Lost Bus, starring True Detective's Matthew McConaughey as Kevin and Ugly Betty's America Ferrera as Mary.
This story is from the September 27, 2025 edition of TV & Satellite Week.
