Jacob Elordi-starring series The Narrow Road to the Deep North has found its U.S. buyer.
Prime Video, which already has rights to the Justin Kurzel-directed limited series in a number of territories, has taken the show on in the U.S. from Sony Pictures Television and will launch in four days’ time.
The Richard Flanagan adaptation sees Elordi star as Lieutenant-Colonel Dorrigo Evans, a celebrated World War II hero who is haunted by his experiences in a Japanese prisoner of war camp and memories of an affair with Amy Mulvaney (Odessa Young) that sustained him through the darkest of times.
Based on the 2014 Booker Prize-winning novel by Flanagan, the Australian drama series was written by Shaun Grant (Nitram, Mindhunter) and directed by Kurzel (The Order, Nitram). It also stars Oscar nominee Ciarán Hinds (Belfast) as the older Dorrigo Evans, Olivia DeJonge (Elvis), Simon Baker (Limbo, Breath), Show Kasamatsu (Tokyo Vice), Heather Mitchell (Ricky Stanicky) and Thomas Weatherall (Heartbreak High).
The show has been in the ether for a long while and has sold to numerous territories including the BBC in the UK and Prime Video in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, where it will also launch in four days.
