Expats Season 1 Release Date, Cast, Plot, and Everything You Need to Know
Expats, have you heard about it? The fans of Brain Tee for sure want to know this. The actor best known for his appearance in Chicago Med as Dr. Ethan Choi will never be forgotten by us.
He will soon appear in an Amazon series alongside some of the biggest stars in the industry. Yes, we are talking about Expats. A brand new show is soon to be released.
An upcoming American drama series which is produced by Nicole Kidman, Per Saari, Theresa Park, Alice Bell, Melanie Marnich, and Lulu Wang for Amazon Video.
The show is based on the 2016 novel “The Expatriates” by Janice Y.K. Lee. Blossom Films and Per Capita Productions are the responsible production companies for the series.
The Expats looks at the personal and professional lives of the closely knit group of expatriates that are living in Hong Kong.
We’re, of course, referring to Tee’s new drama Expats which he’s been filming in recent months between shooting new footage for the current seventh season of Chicago Med.
If there’s one hill that I will die on, it’s that this decade has signified the return of Nicole Kidman.
Sure, the world began to fall in love with the Aussie star again when she landed her coveted role in the hit HBO series, Big Little Lies; but there’s no denying that the last year has cemented her place once more as a Hollywood icon.
From her gripping portrayal opposite Hugh Grant in The Undoing, to her most recent role in the cultic smash-hit, Nine Perfect Strangers; Kidman is thriving not just surviving.
It comes as no surprise then to hear that she has another project in the works, starring in the Amazon Prime series, Expats.
The upcoming drama series is based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s 2016 novel The Expatriates; which focuses on three different women all from different backgrounds who are living in Hong Kong at the same time.
As each woman battles their own heartbreak, struggles and challenges, they are brought together in a way that will chase the course of their lives forever.
