Saint X, Hulu’s next thriller series, is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, at 12 a.m. ET. It tells the story of Alison, a young girl who goes missing while on vacation with her family on the island of Saint X in the Caribbean. As Alison’s family deals with the aftermath of her death, the series tackles issues of privilege, racism and justice. Saint X, based on Alexis Schaitkin’s book, is expected to spark the traditional debate over whether the TV series surpasses its source novel. Interestingly, after seeing the clip, many people compared Saint X to The White Lotus, which appears on HBO in 2021.
Saint X, originally from Hulu, promises an exciting cruise.
The trailer for Saint X depicts the Thomas family visiting their resort on Saint X, a fictional Caribbean island. During their visit, their eldest daughter, Alison, forms an odd relationship with two men at the resort, Clive and Edwin. Alison attended a social event at their resort on the last night of their trip and then disappeared. Following the discovery of her body, two men, Clive and Edwin, are accused of her murder.
Due to a lack of evidence, police quickly ruled the death an accident. However, after years of seemingly unsolved deaths, Emily Thomas, now an adult, is determined to find out what really happened to her sister, Alison, on the island. This trailer makes us question the whole concept and forces us to make our own assumptions. According to Hulu’s description of the trailer:
“Through multiple timelines, the series explores how the mysterious death of a young woman during a beautiful Caribbean vacation creates a traumatic ripple effect that ultimately draws her surviving sister into a dangerous pursuit of the truth.”
Saint X is scheduled to premiere on Hulu on April 26, 2023. The first three episodes will be published simultaneously, with further episodes to follow weekly every Wednesday. The final episode of the eight-episode series will premiere on May 31, 2023. Saint X will launch on Disney platforms in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2023.
Saint X Plot: Book vs. Series
Alexis Schaitkin’s bestseller Saint X is full of surprising twists and turns in inquiries that keep the reader engaged. The novel’s unsettling impact lingers in the reader’s mind long after the last page is turned, creating a lasting impression.
The difference between the trailer and the book is that in the novel, Emily, who is presented as the older sister in the series, is a doctoral student who becomes fascinated by Alison’s narrative. In the novel, Alison is referred to as Claire, while her younger sister is referred to as Alison. Individual identities may be changed, but Saint X director Dee Rees has ensured that the narrative remains comparable, if not identical.
