Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, right? There’s something brilliant about casting Jenna Coleman in the upcoming revenge thriller series “Wilderness.” Petite, much much younger than she looks (37!, but going on 19), and known for “Doctor Who,” “Queen Victoria,” and “Victoria,” she seems something of an innocent nice girl. However, that stereotype is thrown on its head in the upcoming series, “Wilderness.”
Written and created by BAFTA Breakthrough Brit Marnie Dickens and based on B.E. Jones’ novel of the same name, “Wilderness” is a tale of betrayal from the intoxicating pull of an affair to the devastation it leaves behind. The short version of that? A man (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) cheats on his girlfriend, and while on vacation in deserted places like the Grand Canyon, she plots the ultimate revenge on him.
Here’s the synopsis:
The series tells the story of British couple Liv (Jenna Coleman) and Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who seem to have it all. A rock-solid marriage. A glamorous new life in New York. Until Liv learns about her husband’s infidelity. And the lies don’t stop there…
The trailer reveals the striking backdrop of the series as the couple embark on the American road trip that Liv’s always dreamed of, from the Grand Canyon to Yosemite, before ending with a wild weekend in Las Vegas. The series exclusively features Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” as the song of the opening titles.
Before the current actors strike, Jenna Coleman describes the series as “… a darkly twisted thriller exploring a marriage gone wrong, which shifts into a cat-and-mouse psychological chess game between husband and wife. A drama about codependency and freedom. Boundaries and blurred edges. Revenge and sanity, or the lack thereof. Ultimately, Liv’s tale is one of survival—it becomes a very primal, visceral, and feminine tale of coming into her own.” *
Oliver Jackson-Cohen spoke of his experience during production, saying, “We were so lucky to film in some incredible locations for the series. Being surrounded by the mountains in Whistler, standing in the middle of the Grand Canyon desert, or the overwhelming feeling of the Las Vegas strip at night helped to create such a strong atmosphere while filming.”*
Prime Video has revealed the official trailer for the revenge thriller “Wilderness,” ahead of the series’ global launch on September 15, and you can watch that below.
