Women and friendships

Actress Sarayu Blue is all set to star in Prime Video’s upcoming drama series, Expats. Featuring alongside Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, Blue portrays the role of Hilary Starr, a successful businesswoman with impeccable taste in fashion and a no-nonsense attitude, in the six-part limited series. The story centres on three American women whose lives dramatically collide after a mysterious disappearance.

Sarayu Blue shared, “Expats explores friendships among women, which resonates with me on so many levels, and just how complicated they can be, especially adult friendships. It also explores classicism and privilege, and I love the fact that we tackle that so wholeheartedly. I applaud Lulu for not circling around it and for unpacking something that needs to be looked at so blatantly. It’s exciting to see.”

Janice Y.K. Lee’s best-selling novel The Expatriates serves as the inspiration for the series. Directed by Lulu Wang, Expats features Nicole Kidman, Sarayu Blue and Ji-young Yoo in the lead roles. The series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video with two episodes on January 26 and new episodes launching weekly until the finale on February 23.
