In the thrilling world of psychological dramas, nothing is scarier than series and movies that explore themes that feel eerily close to real life. That’s why we believe Prime Video’s newest series, Wilderness, will resonate with many viewers. It delves into topics like love, marriage, deception, and the idea of a perfect ending.
The show promises a twisted love story, where a dream vacation and a supposed “happily-ever-after” quickly transform into a nightmarish ordeal. If you enjoyed Gone Girl, this series will be right up your alley.
Keep reading for all the juicy details we have so far, including an exclusive sneak peek at Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Liv and Will.
