Nicole Kidman, Lulu Wang And Team Made Female Focus Of ‘Expats’ Their North Star – Contenders TV


Nicole Kidman and Lulu Wang were committed to building an acting ensemble and writers room for Expats that would bolster the female-driven vision.

When actress-producer Nicole Kidman and filmmaker Lulu Wang set out to produce Expats, a miniseries adaptation of the novel The Expatriates, for Prime Video, they were committed to building both an acting ensemble and a writers room that would bolster the female-driven vision behind the project. Speaking via satellite from Nashville, Kidman joined Wang and castmates Sarayu Blue and Ji-young Yoo at Deadline’s Contenders Television and revealed that she was immediately struck by the novel’s focus on its female characters and shined light on subjects that a diverse array of women face but receive little public discourse or attention. Kidman explained that along with her passion for the particular story Expats was telling, she was gratified by the opportunity the project provided to push other talent forward.
