“I just sometimes want to be alone. Where I’m not somebody’s wife, not somebody’s mother. Where I’m not defined by tragedy.” Those words from Nicole Kidman‘s Margaret open the first trailer for Expats, Prime Video’s six-part limited series directed by Lulu Wang, based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s bestselling novel The Expatriates.
Sarayu Blue, Ji-young Yoo, Brian Tee and Jack Huston also star in the series which premieres on January 26.
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. Tee plays Margaret’s husband Clarke and Huston plays Hilary’s husband David.
Wang serves as a creator, director and writer for Expats. She also executive produces the series with Daniele Melia for Local Time. Kidman serves as an executive producer for the series with Per Saari for Blossom Films (Rabbit Hole, Nine Perfect Strangers), along with Alice Bell (The Beautiful Lie), who was the first writer onboarded to the series. Theresa Park for Per Capita Productions (After Yang) and Stan Wlodkowski (The Old Guard) also serve as executive producers. Vera Miao (Two Sentence Horror), Gursimran Sandhu (Game of Thrones), and Lee served as writers on Expats with Bell and Wang.
The series launches with two episodes on January 26, with new episodes launching weekly until the February 23 finale on Prime Video.
