Prime Video revealed a first look at the upcoming limited series Expats, from director Lulu Wang. The drama is based on the bestselling novel The Expatriates by Janice Y. K. Lee.
Set against the vibrant and tumultuous tapestry of 2014 Hong Kong, Expats centers on three American women—Margaret (Nicole Kidman), Hilary (Sarayu Blue), and Mercy (Ji-young 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.
Check out the trailer for the series below.
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 Wang also serve as executive producers on the series.
Wang worked with original novel author Lee and screenwriter Alice Bell to write the series.
Expats includes six episodes. The first two episodes will premiere on Prime Video January 26, 2024. Following the premiere, new episodes will air weekly until the finale on February 23.
