Today, Prime Video released the official trailer for Australian Original series The Narrow Road to the Deep North, which will premiere in Australia, New Zealand and Canada on April 18, 2025. The five-part series presented by Amazon MGM Studios has been produced by Curio Pictures. The Narrow Road to the Deep North is based on Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name and has been adapted for screen by writer Shaun Grant (Nitram and Snowtown) and directed by Justin Kurzel (The Order and Nitram). The new Australian series premiered last month at the Berlinale Film Festival to stellar international reviews.
Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, Saltburn, Priscilla) leads an Australian and international all-star cast, alongside Ciarán Hinds (Belfast), with Odessa Young (Mothering Sunday, Shirley), Olivia DeJonge (Elvis), Heather Mitchell (Love Me, Upright), Show Kasamatsu, Thomas Weatherall (Heartbreak High), and Simon Baker (Limbo, Breath).
Filmed in New South Wales, Australia, The Narrow Road to the Deep North is a savagely beautiful five-part series charting the life of Dorrigo Evans (played by Jacob Elordi as a young man, with Ciarán Hinds as the older Dorrigo), through his passionate love affair with Amy Mulvaney (Odessa Young), his time held captive in a POW camp, and his later years spent as a revered surgeon and reluctant war hero.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North is an intimate character study of a complex man, a compelling portrayal of the courage and cruelty of war, and an unforgettable love story that sustains one through the darkest of times.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North is produced by Curio Pictures, and distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Television. Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner from Curio Pictures executive produce. Richard Flanagan, Shaun Grant and Justin Kurzel are also executive producers with Alexandra Taussig serving as producer.
The series will be distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Television. Principal production funding is provided by Screen Australia, with assistance from the NSW Government through Screen NSW’s Made in NSW and PDV Funds.
