No Escape: trailer

Paramount+ has unveiled a trailer for UK drama series No Escape, shot late last year in Thailand.

The series adapted from Lucy Clarke’s best-selling novel of the same name, includes Jay Ryan, Sean Keenan, Susie Porter & Josh McConville.

Lucy Clarke said: “It’s been the most incredible experience to see my novel reimagined for screen. I’ve loved every moment of the journey from reading early scripts to visiting the set in Thailand. The series is breathtaking: transportive, gripping, and thrilling from beginning to end. I can’t wait for viewers to fall in love with it, too!”

Aussie Kris Mrksa (White House Farm), is lead writer with Hans Herbots (The Serpent, Cobra) as lead director.  Executive Producers for New Pictures are Elaine Pyke and Willow Grylls with Kris Mrksa.

An airdate is yet to be announced.

No Escape stars BAFTA Scotland Award winner Abigail Lawrie (Tin Star) and Rhianne Barreto (The Outlaws) as best friends Lana and Kitty, who are on the run from their lives in the UK. Together they find refuge on a romantic yacht, The Blue, crewed by a group of enigmatic people sailing through South-East Asia. But The Blue harbours dark secrets and the paradise the girls thought they had found turns into a nightmare.

No Escape also stars Jay Ryan (It Chapter Two), Sean Keenan (The Power of the Dog), Colette Dalal Tchantcho (Domina), Elmo Anton Stratz (Westwall) and Narayan David Hecter (Riviera) as the crew onboard The Blue. Susie Porter (Wentworth) and Josh McConville (Fantasy Island) are the Australian detectives investigating the mystery of The Blue, whilst Jake Macapagal (Metro Manila) is Captain Reyes from the local Filipino Police force, determined to discover what really happened onboard The Blue.

No Escape is one of the first original dramas commissioned in the UK that will debut across Paramount+ internationally.
