Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a profoundly moving and visually captivating limited series based on Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize-winning novel. The series, created and penned by Shaun Grant, explores the deep psychological and emotional impacts of war, love, and memory. The story follows Dorrigo Evans, an Australian army doctor and Japanese prisoner of war, played by Jacob Elordi, whose thoughts are persistently anchored to a forbidden romance that once provided him comfort.

Directed by Justin Kurzel, who also co-created the series, it examines Dorrigo’s battle to sustain life amidst the death surrounding him on the harsh Thai-Burma railway during World War II. In the face of unimaginable hardship, Dorrigo holds onto the memory of his intense affair with Amy, his uncle’s wife, portrayed by Odessa Young. Their brief romance, which began unexpectedly in a bookstore, serves as both his refuge and his source of anguish as he confronts the atrocities of war and the challenges of loyalty in his current marriage.

The cast boasts a remarkable ensemble, including Ciarán Hinds, Olivia DeJonge, Heather Mitchell, Thomas Weatherall, Show Kasamatsu, Akira Fujii, and Simon Baker, among others. Their performances are expected to infuse the narrative with emotional depth, enriching the complex array of characters. The trailer hints at a visually striking and emotionally nuanced story that intertwines personal desire with grand historical events, highlighting the intersection of intimate longing and tragic history.

Produced by Alexandra Taussig and developed by Curio Pictures in partnership with Screen Australia, Sony Pictures Television, and Amazon Studios, The Narrow Road to the Deep North is set to premiere globally on Prime Video on April 18, 2025. Spanning decades and continents, the series promises to be a poignant exploration of love, war, and the lasting scars they impart.
