Preview — The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart Appears to Hide Dark Secrets
This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist.
The rugged (and gorgeous!) landscape of Australia looks as though it’s set to be a character all its own in Prime Video’s upcoming adaptation, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.
Based on Holly Ringland’s best-selling novel of the same name, the series follows the story of the titular Alice Hart, who is sent to live at her grandmother’s flower farm after a mysterious fire kills both her parents when she is just nine years old.
Over the course of the next two decades, Alice’s violent. childhood casts a long shadow over her life, and dark secrets about both her and her family’s past slowly begin to come to light.
The series is full of heavy-hitting performers with Sigourney Weaver taking on a rare television role to play Alice’s grandmother, June Hart, and Fear the Walking Dead fan favorite Alycia Debnam-Carey as the adult Alice, who struggles to find out the truth about her own identity, and is forced to fight for her life against a charismatic but dangerous man.
