Wlderness finds Jenna Coleman on a rampage.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT British thriller Wilderness is headed for an American road trip when it premieres on September 15. The new Prime Video series, based on the novel of the same name by B.E. Jones, follows the not-so-happily married couple Liv and Will as they embark on what is meant to be a therapeutic vacation after Will is caught cheating.
For us, it's always about taking a really relatable, universal, emotional story and then trying to raise the stakes in some way. I loved the idea of putting a British couple in New York, who are living a fairytale, and then undercutting that with the betrayal. Then we take them on a trip into the wilderness, essentially, where they have to rely on each other to survive but the trust isn't there anymore, which just felt so interesting.
Also fitting perfectly is Jenna Coleman, who is just so insanely likable. You are rooting for her and then you're like, "Oh, honey. Stop." But also, "Go girl. Go." How do you both tow that line when it comes to her performance and also what can be in the story? What was that collaborative process like with Marnie Dicken? How early on did you join, So Yong, and how closely did you guys want to adapt the book?
Jenna and Claire were just amazing, weren't they? They were just so brilliant together. In fact, if anything, I think sometimes it was a lot of fun for Jenna. It's a tough journey that she goes on with Liv as a character and there are some big scenes between those two. There's an incredible scene that’s the big confrontation between them, but there was so much fun and enjoyment. Claire is a delight, as is Jenna.
So Yong Kim: Yeah, I think there are moments when you really do somehow feel for him, and those moments were crucial to have in the overall journey for Liv as well. Because there is a balancing act, and if he's constantly this hateful person, then I don't think the overall story would've worked. I think for us to find that nuance and build certain amount of empathy as well for Will was important for the team.
Elizabeth, when the trailer came out and they used Taylor's version of “Look What You Made Me Do,” I was like, "Wow, the marketing department is in their bag." However, it's actually in the show. Was that always the plan? How did that come about?
