What is it about ?
A British couple, Liv and Will, seem perfect in every way. Until Liv learns of Will’s affair. Revenge is her only option, and when Will suggests a trip to America’s national parks to give their relationship a fresh start, Liv knows exactly how to get it…
A sweet story of revenge
What are you willing to do for revenge? For Liv, the question has a simple answer: everything. Liv is the heroine of Wildernessa new Prime Video original series, which has just been put online on the platform.
Based on the novel of the same name by BE Jones published in 2017, this thrilling pop thriller, created by Marnie Dickens (Thirteen) and directed by So Yong Kim (Dr. Death), tells the story of how a scorned wife takes revenge on her husband unfaithful.
Played by Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who, Sandman), Liv thought she had a dream life in New York with a luxurious apartment, time to devote to writing her novel and a loving and strong husband.

But everything shatters when she discovers that her husband Will, played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen (The Haunting of Hill House), is having an affair. At first devastated and filled with grief, Liv quickly turns into a fierce revenger and hatches a plan to make Will pay. She agrees to give their relationship another chance by going on a road trip with him through the national parks of America.
This dream trip, which was originally going to be their honeymoon, will take them from the Grand Canyon to Yosemite before ending with a wild weekend in Las Vegas. Problem is, the couple comes across Cara, Will’s mistress played by Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars, Spring Breakers), and her companion Garth, played by Eric Balfour (Six Feet Under, The Offer).
Coincidence or set-up? Liv is so adept at lying, pretending, and controlling her emotions that it’s difficult to pinpoint her motives and plan.
But that’s precisely what makes Wilderness so special, namely discovering the heroine’s true intentions over the course of the series’ six episodes.

If the basic plot is nothing revolutionary (stories of deception and revenge are legion in fiction), it is Liv’s psyche and the many twists and turns (between twisted love stories and Machiavellian plans ) during the road trip that attract our attention here.
With a pop soundtrack (including Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version) by Taylor Swift which serves as music for a very polished animated theme), a glamorous and provocative casting, paradisiacal landscapes which become nightmare grounds and a story of breathtaking revenge, Wilderness has everything to attract the public fond of this kind of fictions.
The Wilderness series is available on Prime Video.
