When showrunner and filmmaker Lulu Wang was putting together her Prime Video series “Expats,” she assembled a largely female team to bring this adaptation to life. She directed all six episodes of the drama series herself, every writer on the show was a woman, Anna Franquesa-Solano served as the series’ cinematographer and Janice Y.K. Lee — the author behind the source material — produced the series. And that’s to say nothing of the women onscreen, with a cast led by Nicole Kidman that includes Sarayu Blue and Ji-young Yoo.
“It really seemed like we were creating a world of women both behind the camera and in front of the camera to tell our stories,” Wang told TheWrap as part of our How She Did It series, presented by Prime Video.
