Prime Video's Limited Series EXPATS: Trailer, Cast, New Images, Based on Janice Y. K. Lee's Novel
Prime Video's upcoming six-part limited series Expats, directed by Lulu Wang and based on Janice Y. K. Lee's bestselling novel The Expatriates, is set to debut on January 26, 2024. Along with the date announcement, Prime Video has also released teaser art and first-look images for the series.
Set against the vibrant and tumultuous tapestry of 2014 Hong Kong, Expats centers on three American women, Margaret (Kidman), Hilary (Blue), and Mercy (Yoo), whose lives intersect after a sudden family tragedy. The series interrogates privilege and explores what happens when the line between victimhood and culpability becomes blurred. Brian Tee, who plays Margaret’s husband Clarke, and Jack Huston, who plays Hilary’s husband David, also star in the series.
Expats stars Academy Award- and Emmy-winning actor Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies, The Undoing), Sarayu Blue (Never Have I Ever, Blockers), Ji-young Yoo (The Sky Is Everywhere, Smoking Tigers), Brian Tee (Chicago Med, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows), and Jack Huston (House of Gucci, Fargo).
Kidman and Lulu Wang also serve as executive producers on the series. The series' feature-length penultimate episode will have its European premiere screening at BFI's London International Film Festival on October 9th.
Lulu Wang serves as a creator, director, and writer for Expats. Wang also executive produces the series with Daniele Melia for Local Time. Nicole Kidman serves as an executive producer for the series with Per Saari for Blossom Films (Rabbit Hole, Nine Perfect Strangers), along with Australian screenwriter Alice Bell (The Beautiful Lie, The Slap), who was the first writer onboarded to the series.
Theresa Park for Per Capita Productions (After Yang, Bones, and All) and Stan Wlodkowski (The Old Guard) also serve as executive producers. Vera Miao (Two Sentence Horror Stories), Gursimran Sandhu (Game of Thrones), and author Janice Y. K. Lee served as writers on Expats, with Bell and Wang.
