Expats Trailer: Nicole Kidman’s Missing Child Throws the Lives of Three Women Into a Tailspin
A family crisis triggers a whole lot of soul searching in the new trailer for Expats released Tuesday.
The six-part Prime Video miniseries (which releases two episodes on Thursday, Jan. 26, with new episodes launching weekly), is based on the best-selling 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 (Big Little Lies’ Nicole Kidman), Hilary (Never Have I Ever’s Sarayu Blue) and Mercy (The Sky Is Everywhere’s Ji-young Yoo) — whose lives intersect after a sudden family tragedy,” reads the official description. “The series interrogates privilege and explores what happens when the line between victimhood and culpability becomes blurred.”

In the clip embedded above, Margaret longs to not be “defined by tragedy,” as motherhood and marriage seem to weigh her down. She imagines living a completely different life as she yearns for home, until her son tragically goes missing and everything is turned on its head.
Brian Tee (Chicago Med) plays Margaret’s husband Clarke and Jack Huston (Mayfair Witches) plays Hilary’s husband David.
Lulu Wang (The Farewell) serves as creator, director and writer. Wang, Kidman, Theresa Park and Stan Wlodkowski executive-produce.
