Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen are to star in Wilderness, a new psychological thriller coming to Prime Video.
Based on B.E. Jones’ novel of the same name, the UK original series will launch in 2023, written, created, and executive produced by Marnie Dickens.
A teaser shares: “British couple Liv and Will seem to have it all: A rock-solid marriage, a glamorous new life in New York thousands of miles from their provincial hometown, and still young enough to feel that their whole lives are ahead of them. Until Liv learns about Will’s affair.
“Heartbreak is swiftly followed by another emotion—fury. Revenge is her only option, and when Will proposes a trip around America’s epic National Parks to give their relationship a fresh start, she knows just the place…
“Wilderness is a twisted love story, where a dream holiday and a supposedly ‘happily-ever-after’ life quickly turn into a living nightmare.”
Wilderness will stream on Prime Video from Friday, 15 September 2023.
