Makuochi Echebiri is a News Writer for Collider. He has been interested in creative writing from as far back as high school, and he would consume pretty much anything that’s film or TV. However, his truest love lies in the presence of historical epics and thrillers.
The Big Picture And we are set! Production has wrapped on the Amazon Prime Video five-part series, The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Produced by a collaboration between Prime Video, Curio Pictures, and Sony Pictures Television, the miniseries was produced in Australia, the homeland of its lead actor, Jacob Elordi. The Saltburn and Euphoria star will portray Lieutenant-Colonel Dorrigo Evans in an adaptation based on Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize-winning novel.
Directed by Justin Kurzel - best known for his work on Assassin’s Creed and 2015's Macbeth - and set against the shadows of World War II, the series follows the story of Elordi's Evans and his all-too-brief and fleeting love affair with Amy Mulvaney and how it shaped his life.
In the pair of new images released for the miniseries, we see a mud-covered Evans squatting among - what appears to be - comrades in a field, equally muddy and covered by vines and ropes. The next image is a lot more pristine and elegant, a favorable nod to the era wherein the series is set. Surrounded by other patrons, the image captures Evans and Amy out on a date and engrossed in deep conversation.
The Team Behind an Epic Romance in WWII The Narrow Road to the Deep North will cover Evans’ childhood experiences, then his days as a young man and a prisoner-of-war on the Thailand-Burma Railway, before, later on in life, as a respected surgeon and Australian war hero. The miniseries casts alongside Elordi and Young, Ciarán Hinds as the older Dorrigo Evans, and Olivia DeJonge .
