Prime Video, Curio Pictures, and Sony Pictures Television have released images from the latest Australian Original drama series, The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
The drama series, which has wrapped production in New South Wales, Australia, is based on Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize-winning novel. The five-part series, adapted by writer Shaun Grant and directed by Justin Kurzel, will launch on Prime Video in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
The series tells the story of Lieutenant Dorrigo Evans (played by Jacob Elordi) and his love affair with Amy Mulvaney (played by Odessa Young). It is set during World War II and spans multiple time periods.
We get to see Evans’ childhood, his experience as a prisoner-of-war on the Thailand-Burma Railway as a young man, and later in life, as a respected surgeon and Australian war hero.
Elordi (Euphoria, Saltburn, and Priscilla) and Young (Mothering Sunday, and Shirley) are joined by a talented Australian and international cast, including Ciarán Hinds (Belfast) as the older Dorrigo Evans, and Olivia DeJonge (Elvis), Heather Mitchell (Love Me, Upright), Thomas Weatherall (Heartbreak High), Show Kasamatsu, Charles An, and Simon Baker (Limbo, Breath).
The series also features new castings, including Essie Davis (as Lynette), William Lodder (as Rabbit), Eduard Geyl (as Jimmy), Christian Byers (as Rainbow), Sam Parsonson (as Rooster), Reagan Mannix (as Bonox Baker), Fabian McCallum (as Sheephead), Caelan McCarthy (as Chum), David Howell (as Tiny), Taki Abe (as Colonel Kota), Masa Yamaguchi (as Lieutenant Fukuhara), and Akira Fujii (as Kenji Mogami).
The Narrow Road to the Deep North has also received significant production investment from Screen Australia, with assistance from the NSW Government through Screen NSW’s Made in NSW and PDV Funds.
