Nicole Kidman is set to star in Amazon Prime’s new six-part series Expats, based on the popular novel The Expatriates by American author Janice Y. K. Lee.
The Oscar winning star, 56, will play the lead role of Margaret in the gripping series, which also stars British actor Jack Huston and Jurassic World’s Brian Tee.
Photos of Nicole in the upcoming show have been released, showing the actress wearing a short blonde wig in the series about women bonding in the aftermath of a tragedy.
One photo shows Nicole’s character in the backseat of a taxi with Brian, who plays her husband, as he rests his head on her lap.
Another screenshot shows Nicole looking upset as she lies face up in the bathtub while scrolling through her phone.

‘That’s a wrap on #Expats! So lucky to work with such a darling and inspired director @ThumbeLulu and alongside a brilliant cast & crew, including my on-screen husband @Brian_Tee,’ Nicole gushed.
‘Thank you everyone! Excited for you to see what we have created,’ she added.
Expats is based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s novel The Expatriates, and follows the vibrant and extravagant lives of Hong Kong’s wealthy expat community.

The show was produced in Hong Kong, a decision that has sparked some backlash given the country’s rapidly declining political situation.
Nicole also sparked criticism for gaining a government exception to side-step quarantine rules to film the series.
In August 2021, Nicole flew from Sydney to Hong Kong via private jet ahead of filming.
She later stirred controversy two days later after photos surfaced of her shopping at a designer boutique in the city’s Central district, during the Covid pandemic.
The series will be released on Amazon Prime on January 26
