Oscar Best Actress Award winner Nicole Kidman was exempted from quarantine during the pandemic to shoot the American TV series “Expats” in Hong Kong. The film was recently released on the streaming platform Amazon Prime on Jan. 26. However, viewers in Hong Kong encountered a message: “This video is currently unavailable to watch in your location.”
“Expats” is adapted from the novel “The Expatriates,” directed by Chinese-born American Lulu Wang, and set in 2014. According to the official trailer released earlier, Hong Kong street scenes can be seen in many parts of the series, including a scene of tens of thousands of people holding umbrellas.
