Seeking solitude, the trailer begins with a dystopian tone as a lady yearns for escape from the hustle and bustle of her surroundings. Lulu Wang’s vision, “Expats,” is set to premiere on Prime Video on January 26th, and the recently released trailer promises a visual feast.
“Expats,” a new series by Lulu Wang on Prime Video, delves into a profound family tragedy in Hong Kong. Across six episodes and multiple timelines, the narrative avoids typical true crime melodrama.
Wang prioritizes character depth, demanding two gripping episodes to unveil the pivotal event. The series immerses viewers in the women’s lives and the city through elegant camerawork.
Set in 2014, the miniseries “Expats” follows the intertwined lives of Nicole Kidman, Sarayu Blue, and Ji-young Yoo in Hong Kong, united by tragedy. The cast includes Jack Huston, Brian Tee, Tiana Gowen, and Bodhi del Rosario.
As the trailer progresses, with its beauty, it also reopens wounds, addressing the scars. The three central women showcase brilliant performances, shaking viewers to the core.
The color palette of the trailer is nothing short of a great painting, and the background music is mesmerizing.
