Consisting of eight episodes, the Amazon Original series is set to arrive on May 6 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

The Wilds Has Been Compared to Lost
There are some similarities betweenThe WildsandLost, so it’s hard for the show’s creators to avoid the comparisons. Watching both shows, however, feel very different from one another, as explained by Harris in aColliderinterview touching on the differences between them.
“I think initially, as Sarah likes to say, ‘We stand on the shoulders of that giant,’ and wouldn’t deny that to anybody,” Harris said. “That is a show that broke a lot of ways of telling a story. What we always talked about and sort of what I’ve always been interested in as a writer, you can tell a story, but it’s like, why is it aSex and the Citystory versus aFriendsstory? Why are these stories so different? And I think it’s because we are telling it through the lens of teenage girls. It’s inherently sort of different. So, we can sort of celebrate the things that are obviously sort of an homage toCast Awayas well asMy So-Called Life, in terms of talking about the teenage experience in a really authentic, specific, grounded way.”
Harris added, “And we talked very honestly about how much we love those shows and then it was like, “Okay, we’re going to tell our stories, and how are those stories different because of the ensemble of women that we are writing about and for?”
