“Memory is the only true justice” is the verdict of the sweeping new trailer for The Narrow to the Deep North, the Jacob Elordi-starring TV series that drops April 18 on Prime Video in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
The epic adaptation of Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize winner has unveiled first trail showing Elordi as Dorrigo Evans (he is played by Ciarán Hinds as an older man).
The series, which was the highest-profile TV show at the Berlinale and has sold around the world, charts the life of Evans through his passionate love affair with Amy Mulvaney (Odessa Young), his time held captive in a POW camp and his later years spent as a revered surgeon and reluctant war hero.
Filmed in New South Wales, Australia, the show acts as a character study of a complex man impacted by war.
Justin Kurzel (Challengers) is directing, Shaun Grant is writing and the show also stars Olivia DeJonge (Elvis), Heather Mitchell (Love Me, Upright), Show Kasamatsu (Tokyo Vice), Thomas Weatherall (Heartbreak High), and Simon Baker (Limbo, Breath).
The Narrow Road to the Deep North is produced by Curio Pictures, and distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Television. Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner from Curio Pictures executive produce. Flanagan, Grant and Kurzel are also executive producers with Alexandra Taussig serving as producer.
The series is distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Television and has been acquried globally by the likes of the BBC, Sky and Max, although it is yet to land a U.S. buyer. Principal production funding is provided by Screen Australia, with assistance from the NSW Government through Screen NSW’s Made in NSW and PDV Funds.
All five episodes of the Australian original will be available to stream on Prime Video from April 18.
