‘When The Streetlights Go On’ Trailer: Murders Rock A Small Town In Quibi’s Coming Of Age Movie
By Ben Pearson/March 30, 2020 1:30 pm EST
We’re just a few days away from the launch of Quibi, the new mobile-only streaming platform. One of the service’s “movies in chapters” that will be available on day one is called When The Streetlights Go On, a murder mystery set in a small town in 1995. Chosen Jacobs (It, Castle Rock) plays a 15-year-old who discovers a pair of murder victims in the woods, and the ramifications of the crime quickly begin to ripple through his community.
Oddly enough, a different version of this show played at the Sundance Film Festival a few years ago. Learn more about that and check out the trailer for the new Quibi version below.

Where The Streetlights Go On Trailer
With his appearances as young Mike Hanlon in the recent adaptations of Stephen King’s It, and now with this movie, Jacobs is carving out a place for himself in period pieces in which awful things happen to people. It seems as if this film may also be at least partially inspired by King’s writing, and Rebecca Thomas, who directed an episode of the King-influenced Stranger Things, is behind the camera here. Mark Duplass, Tony Hale, Beh Ahlers, Sophie Thatcher, Sam Strike, David Lewis, Queen Latifah, and more round out the cast.
That version never got picked up, but after the writers reworked the script, the project now lives again thanks to Quibi.
Here’s the official description:
After the murder of a beautiful young girl rocks a suburban community, the victim’s sister and her high school peers must struggle to find a sense of normalcy while coming of age in the midst of the murder investigation.
When The Streetlights Go On will be available on Quibi on April 6, 2020.
