“We trust each other – right?” Prime Video has unveiled a teaser trailer for a series called Wilderness, a love story meets romantic thriller. Adapted from the novel of the same name by B.E. Jones, and directed for the screen by filmmaker So Yong Kim. The book’s description explains: “Shattered by the discovery of her husband’s affair, Liv knows they need to leave the chaos of New York to save their marriage. Maybe the road trip they’d always planned, exploring America’s national parks – just the two of them – would help heal the wounds. But what Liv hasn’t told her husband is that she has set him three challenges on their trip – three opportunities to prove he’s sorry… If he fails? Well, it’s dangerous out there in the wilderness; accidents happen all the time. And if it’s easy to die, then it’s also easy to kill.” Uh oh! Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen co-star, with Ashley Benson, Eric Balfour, Claire Rushbrook, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Morgana Van Peebles. “Where our heroine Liv says the things you wish you had the guts to, does the things you can only fantasize about, and lives by her own increasingly outrageous set of rules.” Scary…
Here’s the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Prime Video’s series Wilderness, direct from YouTube:
Liv (Jenna Coleman) becomes the actress starring in Will’s bad dreams after she learns about his betrayal, and her heartbreak is swiftly followed by another emotion: fury. The couple embark on an American road trip Liv’s fantasized about since she was little, traveling from the Grand Canyon on through Yosemite National Park, before ending up with a hedonistic weekend in Las Vegas. For Will, it’s a chance to make amends; for Liv, it’s a very different prospect—a landscape where accidents happen all the time. The perfect place to get revenge… Wilderness is a series created by the writer Marnie Dickens (“Hollyoaks”, “Thirteen”, “Gold Digger”), adapting the 2017 novel “Wilderness” written by B.E. Jones. All the episodes are directed by filmmaker So Yong Kim, director of the films In Between Days, Treeless Mountain, For Ellen, Lovesong, and TV series “Grand Army”, “Dr. Death”, and “Roar” most recently. Exec produced by Marnie Dickens, So Yong Kim, and Elizabeth Kilgarriff for Firebird Pictures. Amazon debuts the Wilderness series streaming on Prime Video later in fall 2023 – stay tuned for the exact date. First impression? Look good?
