'Expats' Series Unavailable in Hong Kong Amid Censorship Concerns

The Amazon Prime series, set and filmed in Hong Kong, is not being shown in the city, leading to speculation about potential censorship.

Amazon Prime's new series 'Expats', set and filmed in Hong Kong, is unavailable for viewing in the city, leading to speculation about censorship.
The series, starring Nicole Kidman, is based on a novel about the lives of three American women in Hong Kong in 2014, a year marked by pro-democracy protests known as the Umbrella Movement.
The unavailability of the series in Hong Kong has raised questions about whether it was a decision made by Amazon or the Hong Kong authorities, in light of recent censorship laws.
During the filming of 'Expats' in 2021, Kidman was controversially allowed to bypass strict Covid quarantine rules, a decision justified by authorities as necessary for 'designated professional work'.
The series has been released worldwide except in Hong Kong, and it is not clear when or if it will be made available in the city.
