Wilderness is the new thriller show coming to Prime Video that not only has us excited for its premise and incredible British cast but also its very fitting soundtrack by a certain big industry name.
Yes, none other than Taylor Swift has teamed up with the streaming service to debut the re-recorded track “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” from her album Reputation as part of the opening credits for the UK original thriller, which is set to release next month.
And the song choice is extremely apt, given the premise of the series, which highlights its lead protagonist, Liv’s (played by Jenna Coleman) spiral from a woman living her “happily-ever-after” dream life with her husband, Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), to her worst nightmare coming true after discovering that he is having an affair.

Based on B.E. Jones’ novel of the same name, Wilderness is written and created by Marnie Dickens and follows the young, picture-perfect New York-based couple as they embark on a great American road from the Grand Canyon to the iconic Yosemite National Park. However, Will is unaware that Liv knows he has been cheating on her and will pull out all the twisted stops on the trip to exact her revenge…
For further insight into the plot, the official synopsis for the show reads: “Based on B E Jones’s novel of the same name, Wilderness features British couple Liv (Coleman) and Will (Jackson-Cohen) who seem to have it all: a rock-solid marriage; a glamorous new life in New York thousands of miles from their provincial hometown; and still young enough to feel that their whole lives are ahead of them. Until Liv learns about Will’s affair.
“Heartbreak is swiftly followed by another emotion: fury. Revenge is her only option, and when Will proposes a trip around America’s epic National Parks to give their relationship a fresh start, Liv knows just how to get it… Wilderness is a twisted love story, where a dream holiday and a supposedly “happily-ever-after” quickly turns into a living nightmare.”
