Prime Video has dropped a trailer for its dramatic new series Expats, which stars Nicole Kidman, Sarayu Blue and Ji-young Yoo.
Expats is based on a six-part limited series based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s bestselling novel The Expatriates.
The show follows Kidman and her family who tragically lose their young son while living abroad in Hong Kong. It explores how the huge loss affects multiple lives.
Here’s everything you need to know about the series!
Who’s in it?
Kidman, Blue and Yoo play Margaret, Hilary Starr and Mercy respectively.
The cast also includes Brian Tee (Chicago Med, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows), and Jack Huston (House of Gucci, Fargo). Kidman and Lulu Wang serve as executive producers on the series.
Wang told IndieWire that Kidman initially approached her with the project.
“I was incredibly grateful,” Wang said. “It was pretty early, in the summer, right after [‘The Farewell’] had been released. She saw the film and loved it. She said, ‘There’s this book we optioned and we’re adapting, and you’re the first person to read the scripts. You’re the only director I can see doing this. You have to do it.’”
When does it come out?
The series will premiere with two episodes on January 26, 2024, with new episodes launching weekly until the finale on February 23, 2024.
What’s it about?
Expats takes place in the lively and chaotic backdrop of 2014 Hong Kong. The story revolves around three American women – Margaret, Hilary, and Mercy – whose lives intersect following a sudden family tragedy.
The series delves into the concept of privilege and delves into the consequences of blurred lines between victimhood and culpability. Clarke, played by Brian Tee, is Margaret’s husband, while Hilary’s husband, David, is portrayed by Jack Huston.
