The Wilds on Amazon Prime Video

In case you missed Season 1, the YA series tells the story of a group of teenage girls from different backgrounds. They are on a plane en route to Hawaii to allegedly spend some time at the Dawn of Eve program – a young women’s empowerment retreat. However, their plane crashes en route, but they survive the crash and find themselves swimming to safety on a deserted island. This might sound a little like the 2004 mystery series Lost. However, the crash is where the resemblance firmly ends.

The girls then work to survive as castaways, searching for food and water and trying to find shelter. Through the various episodes, the girls uncover secrets from each other. They believe they will be rescued, but rescue never comes. What the girls are unaware of is that the “plane crash” was faked and the teens are subjects of a social experiment run by Dawn of Eve.

Spoiler alert: Throughout Season 1, the story flashes forward to tell the story of the girls after their alleged rescue. They are spending time with psychologists who are helping them with their mental trauma from their experience. As already noted, the tenth episode ended with a cliffhanger and fans have been waiting to hear if the series will continue.
