The Wilds
Created by Sarah Streicher
On Prime Video
A survival drama centered on a small ensemble of teenage girls whose bonds deepen through shared trauma, structured around the mystery of their intentional stranding and the psychological wounds each carries.
A group of teen girls from different backgrounds must fight for survival after a plane crash strands them on a deserted island. The castaways both clash and bond as they learn more about each other, the secrets they keep, and the traumas they've all endured. But there’s just one twist… these girls did not end up on this island by accident.
