Directed by Lulu Wang, Expats “weaves an addictive tapestry that follows a group of complex women and their lives as outsiders in Hong Kong,” Head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke told Deadline. 

Set in Hong Kong in 2014, the six-part series delves deep into the world of the city’s affluent expatriate community where “friendships are intense but knowingly temporary, and personal lives, deaths, and marriages are played out publicly then retold with glee.”
